Key cleans house at Lodi 51
By Mike Law
LODI, CA, JUNE 14
Stockton's Pha nnacy First in ves ted $100 in the
Open A winner's pu rse and , when all wa s said
a nd d one, it w as Mark Key who r3ced a way'
wi th th e top money a t the Lod i Cycle Bowl.
Key en tered th e firs t tu rn mid pa ck, e xited
er
down the back str aight wi th the- Ie-ad a nd ne-v
lost the front po sition . "1 just got my bike going
good., th a t' s all ," refl ected the so ft-spoken Key
after the race . '1 changed ca ms and tha t see med
to he lp a lo t . Th e track wa s r eal fa st . Mark
Corsetti - he's very fast. He gave me all I cou ld
ha nd le. My stra tegy wa s to get out there a nd get
the ho les.hot and go real fal>l and not give it up. I
looked back one lime to ~ee who wa s there. I
sa w it wa s Mark, and I kn ew I couldn't let up. I
had to run hard the whole race."
Key ' s s t ra teg y o b v ious ly p aid o ff, a n d
Corsetti held on for second pla ce. "It was all his
race," Co rset ti sa id . " I ca n't take a nything aw ay
from h im. He got a gr eat s tart a nd ro de the
w heels off his bike. Som etimes you get first an d
so me times you get seco nd . I wo uld ha ve bee n
happi er wi th first , bu t toni ght I got a pai r o f seconds and I'm proud of that. Mar k Key is a grea t
gu y to race wi th ."
Pro Novice co ntender Bob Casey continued
h is tear in the ma in ev en t wi th a victo ry over
rival s Ma tt Go mez Sr. and Bob Grant. Ca sey,
who is al most in the Eddie Mulder a nd Scott
Pearson departmen t w hen it comes to holeshots,
got a terri fic start and rod e wire to wire for the
win in the main event. 'The key to it wa s getting
a good start," Casey sa id, following th e ra ce. '1
got a good holeshot, and I think he (Gomez) got
tied up ar ound thi rd p lace a nd was battling for
second place, so it kept him hack there for quite
a while . Then it wa s pretty much a ra ce for
myself. After he got by the guy for seco nd place,
th e white fla g wa s out and it was easy going
from there. The key here is to get a good start. If
Gomez gets the holeshot, it's going to be pretty
tou gh to pa ss him . But if I ge t a good sta rt, I
hold the groo ve real good, and I d on't think he
can get around me ."
