Mcilvaine motors to Suffolk
Meadows Motocross win
By Jim and Carolyn Simpson
YAPHANK, NY, JULY 2
After c.hasing Jerry Seip through the 250cc
Expert motos and the first 125cc Expert moto,
Jim McIlvaine motored his way past ~eip to
claim the 125cc Expert overall win at Suffolk
MeadowsMX.
.
Mcilvaine kicked off the first 125cc moto
with the lead as John Franco and Jerry Seip
chased him into the Supercross section. Seip
wasted no lime in passing John Franco to take
over the second position.
Brian Berry made a pass to drop Franco to
fourth as Seip passed McIlvaine for the lead.
Seip maintained a slim lead into the last lap
while under continuous pressure from McIlvaine. Seip scored a narrow bike~length win
with McIlvaine following closely in second as
Franco reclaimed third to end moto one.
Mcllvaine again jumped into the lead to start
moto two, but Seip was on the gas and quickly
took over first place. Franco and John Laurine
chased the lead pair into the back sand section
but were left behind when Seip and Mcllvaine
picked up the pace. Mcllvalne stayed glued to
the rear fender of Seip as the pair jumped side
by side with Seip barely pulling ahead into the
lead.
Mcilvaine made his move in the back section
of the final lap, jumping ahead as the two raced
down the Spectator Straight. Seip trailed Mcllvalne through the final lap, and Mcllvaine finally daimed the moto and overall win.

on its feet while Aden and Schwartz were

Isaac Lopez got a m=endous jump on the
By Michael Maher
VICTORVILLE, CA, JULY 8
Steve Lucero pulled off the rare feat of winning
both main events at Speedway USA, but his
accom.plishment did not go unmarked as his
Scratch main win was overshadowed by controversy.
Lucero, Charlie Venegas, John Aden and Jim
Estes made up the field for the Scratch main
event, and as the fjeld moved into turn one in a
tightly knit group, there was apparent contact
between Lucero and Venegas, and Venegas
went down, hringing out the red flag.
Speedway rules state that if a solo crash
causes a red. flag then the rider invoJved is omitted from the restart, a call that did not sit well
with the crowd or with Venegas. But the race
was restarted without Venegas, and the Tint
Doctor/Oilzall/Arai-sponsored Lucero pulled
out an easy victory over Estes and Aden.
The Handicap main also starred Lucero and
Venegas, but there was no controversy this time
as Tony Wood took the early lead before Lucero
and Venegas carved their way through the pack
and emerged on Wood's tail with two laps to go.
Wood then lost control and slid wide, allowing
Lucero, Venegas, Jerry Black and John Aden to
get past, and that was how they finished with
Wood finally taking ·fifth place over Paul Colston.
The Support class main saw Bill Green take
the lead on the start and hold on all the way to
win. Jeremy O'Neal led the Beginner main from
wire to wire after being pressured early by Ben
Mears. In Junior speedway competition, Jimmy
Fishback Jr. won the First Division' main over
Michael Hull, with Patrick Donovan taking the
Second Division honors over Joey Draper and
RObert Levandoski. Jesse Little out-dueled Justin
Boyle and R.J. Weeks for the Third Division title.
