COSTAMESA, CA,MAY 5 The Legal Rights Defend ers Challenge Cup was run at Cost a Mesa Speedway , in trod uci ng an in te res ti n g format based upon the one-lap, do n't-be-last principle. After each lap , the last rider of the pack is eliminated, and must exit the track. The racing continues in that fashion until there is but one rider left. The last two laps a re a two-rider go wit h the winn er getting a direct transfer to the final. The second rider thro ugh the fourth trans fer to semis - the winners of which go to the main event · and the fifth rider is relegated to a last-chance race. The last cha nce winner then himse lf gets tra nsferred to a semi for an opportunity to earn a spot in the fina l. . Robe rt Pfetzing, Brad Oxle y and Bobby Schwartz were all fortu nat e enough to transfer via wi ns in thei r hea ts, and from the semis, Shawn McConnell and Charlie Venegas advanced to the final. The first round of the Challenge Cup sa w Pfetzing lead the way while Oxley, Venegas, Schwartz a nd McConnell followed him home, thus eliminating McConnell . The riders lined up again, rotating their starting positions , and this time Venegas got the drop on the field and Pfetzing was last. On the third go-around. Schwartz turned up the heat and sco red the win, while Venegas was eliminated . . There wer e on ly two rid ers left, Schwartz and Oxley, running one on one. The gate went up and Schwartz won the drag race to the corner. Earlier in the even ing Schwartz had been going way out to t he wall and then divin g aggressively in to t h e turn s . Knowing that Oxley's sty le is to ride a tight line, Schwartz kept it down low , and though Oxley shadowed the two-time U.S. National champ the whole race, Venegas took Challenge Cup victory.
