night by winning the Saatch main, and Pat Linn
scored his first win of the season in the Handicap main at Gold Country Fairgrounds in
Auburn.

into the first comer together at the start of the
Handicap main, but Schambers got the better
drive coming out and took the lead. Linn had

Bast to win the Scratch main event at the Gold
Country Fairgrounds.
Oad Felicio and Allen Krause led the start of
the Handicap main event. Tommy Hedden rode
the outside line, gaining enough drive to pass
the pack on the straightaways but losing ground
by going wide in the corners. Krause held second position but also went wide, allowing the
pack to catch up and challenge him for second
place. At the end of the front straight, Hedden
lost control, taking Krause down with him and
causing a red. flag.
On the restart, Kossuth went to the outside
line and used it to move into the lead. It looked
as if Felicio would hold 'onto second until he
went wide in the final comer and allowed the
pack to get by. Kossuth took the checkered flag
while Bobby Hedden finished second and Bast
placed third.
Sisemore started on the pole for the Saatch
main while Bast and brother Harlan Bast Jr.
started in gates two and three.. respectively,
leaving the outside gate for Kossuth. As they
came off the line, Kossuth did a wheelie that put
him in last pl~ce going into the comer. Sisemore
took the holeshot with Bart Bast right behind.
The leaders pulled away, leaving Harlan Bast Jr.
and Kossuth in a battle for third.
Sisemore crossed the line first, followed by
Bart Bast in second place and Kossuth in third.

Owen awesome at
Mosier Valley Motocross
By Chris Boice
ARLINGTON, IX, JUNE 30
Coby Owen roosted his way to the overall win
in the 125cc Novice'class at the Mosier Valley
MX Park, besting a la-rider field with 2-1 moto
finishes.
Ricky Chappell blasted his way to the
holeshot in the first 125cc Novice moto. Close
behind' Chappell were Roy Scheel and Les Cain.
Chappell and Scheel began to pull away from
the rest of the field by the second lap. Scheel
closed to within a wheel of Chappell, waiting for
him to make a mistake.
Meanwhile, Owen was passing riders by the
handful, recovering from his last-place start.
With the white flag indicating one lap to go,
. Owen closed to within striking distance of
Chappell and Scheel. When Scheel saw the front
fender of Owen coming up behind him, he
decided it was time to make his move on Chappell. Scheel got on the brakes a split second later
than Chappell and squared off the next comer to
take the lead. Chappell tucked in behind SCheel
to try to protect his second-place position. Owen
had a different plan, however. He set Chappell
up for a pass in the stadium whoops and roosted his way into second place with just two corners to go before the finish line. When the checkered flag came out, it was Scheel with the win.
followed by Owen and Chappell.
The start of the second moto was a carbon
copy of the first with Chappell grabbing the
holeshot. This time Owen got out of the starting
gate with the rest of the field and made his
move on Chappell early to capture the lead.
Owen established his dominance ;uld by the
third lap was styling for the crowd with no one
challenging him for the lead. At the finish it was
Owen by several seconds, followed by Chappell
who was securely in second. Third place in the
moto went to Johnny Davidson. When the
scores were tallied, Owen's 2-1 finishes gave
him the overall win. Chappell's 3-2 scores
earned second and Scheel's 1-5 moto firtishes
netted third overall.
