HANOVER. PA, OCT. 12
After winning the number-one plate in both Districts 6 and 7 last season, Mike Klopp has suffered through a season with no wins at the premier local short track, but that changed Sa.turday
afternoon as Trail-Way ended its '% short track
season.
Klopp rode the lim Chapman Triumph to a
win in the 750cc final. It wasn't the 600cc A that
he would have liked to have won, but a win is a
win. While Klopp finished second to Roy Miller
in the 600cc A final, the machine did take his
brother, Ken Mohler, to his first win of the season in the 600cc Pro final.
In the 600cc A race, Klopp looked like he
was going to get his first win as he led them off
the second turn on a mode,rately wide-groove
track, with Mike McKee, Jim Hollister and Roy
Miller right behind. But McKee drifted off the
groove in the fourth turn, losing a few spots.
After one lap, Hollister did the same thing off
the second tum, giving Klopp and Miller a little
. margin.
Mike McKee completed a remarkable season
on his Hannum's Cycles-sponsored Suzuki, as
he never lost a 2SOcc A final at Trail-Way this
season. Todd Stith took his second Over 30 victory of the year, while Bob Babcock again won
the Over 40 event.
Another rider who completed a perfect season was Jared Mees on his Mike's Oassic H-Dsponsored 65cc Kawasaki, while John Lewis V
took the 55cc (4-6) victory, with Le.roy Bussey
winning in the 7- to 8-year-old group. Chris
Klinefleter headed the 85cc class, with Ben
Miller easily topping Ryan Babcock in the l25s.
Jake Johnson again was victorious in the
2SOcc B and Will Russell passed Bryon Germer
late in the race for the 600cc B win on this sunny
afternoon.
Miller slipped under Klopp coming off the
fourth turn on the second lap. With McKee and
Hollister behind, the top four stayed close, finishing in the same order.
