Winsett Whips Pros at
Trail-Way Short Track
By Len and Ben Breech
HANOVER, PA, APR. 4
Using. lightning-fast holeshot, Rick Winsett
jumped out to a quick lead and pulled away
from the other pros in the 600cc and Sportsman
finals at Trail-Way Speedway's last afternoon
Short Track until next fall. Repeating their double class wins of the previous week were Jim
Chapman in the SOOce two-valve and 750cc
classes and Bob Sweeten in the 600cc A and
Over 30 classes, although Don Mullen prevented
the latter from tripling when he grabbed the
early lead and pulled away to win the 250cr A
class. Chris Klinefelter got familiar with his new
Honda to take the 125 and 12Scc Schoolboy
classes.
With many of last week's Pro riders still
mending bikes and bodies after a D.1c1ssive crash,
Winsett used his youthful exuberance to put his
PI,il Libhart-sponsored Rotax in front of Libhart,
Georgie Price and Tom McGrane Jr. as the 600cc
Pro class came off the second turn. After prolr
ing for se""ral laps, Price got under Libhart for
runner-up as they entered the third turn on lap
four. With the s.:1me riders running the Sports~
man final, Winsett again grabbed the holes hot
from Pace and Libhart and proceeded to pull
away.
w;u, the track being a typical daylight-blue
groove, most of the A finals were follow-theleader affairs. However, several of the mini and
B-class riders don't know that it's almost impossible to pass on a track like tilis. in the 8Sec class,
Bryan Douglas took the point from Zacl, Calcutt,
Shawn BaCT, Jared Mees and Jason lseJUlOck.
While Mees dropped out early, the other four
stayed very dose to the end. Douglas man.ged
to put a few lengUls on the others with two l.ps
,remaining. The oU,er three battled fiercely, with
l.sennock getting a tremendous drive starting the
final lap to get by Baer 00 the outside off the second tum for third.
After Bill Stillwell had beaten him earlier
with a wire-ta-wire win in the 600cc B final, Joey
Tyeryar put his Tyeryar Racing Kawasaki in
front of Greg Sassaman, Stillwell and Bruce
Mill!"'. As Tyeryar pulled away, Stillwell battled
Sassaman for most of the way, taking second as
they came off turn four on the sixth lap.
New Yorker Michael Wagner was quickest
off the line at the start of the SScc (4-6) final,
leading Evan Baer, John Long III .nd Bryan
Demuro. On the second lap, Baer had the outside line and held it on to take the lead as they
came off the second turn. While Wagner did
lead the rest of the way, Wagner stayed tight on
his tail, just waiting for the slightest miscue.

PERRIS, CA, APR. 5
Don Adams of Mesa, Arizona, waged a heroic
battle to barely edge out Santee, California's
Rick Price in the Over 30 Expert class at the Perris round of the AHRMA ational Vintage
Motocross Series.
In the first moto, the two Expert riders
immediately demonstrated their will to win by
taking on the rugged Perris track in full-bore
fashion. Price, on his 1974 Maico 400, took the
early lead, with Adams chasing only a bike
length or two behind on his 1974 Honda CR250
Elsinore. Adams' Honda appeared quicker in
the tight sections, while Price's Maico clearly
was in charge on the rough straights. Lap after
lap, Adams looked to duck under Price in one
corner and then the next, but Price defended his
position and put some rea.l estate between the
two from tum to turn. At the finish line on the
last lap, Adams made a last-ditch effort to execute a midair pass over a large tabletop jump,
but it was not quite enough and Price took the
win. Unfortunately, when Adams' Elsinore
came d wn, it was in the nose-
