Trojan Speedway
By Larry Witm er
NORTIl WEBSTER, IN SEPT. 6
,
T.J. Beazell took the win in the Auto (4-8) divi sion over a tou gh field of lalented young speedsters . Bea zell also com peted at Trojan for the full
fou r-day Lab or Da y event , ta k in g hom e lhe
overall in this division an d a grea t wall clock as
a me men to.
The opening moto of th e Auto (4-8) contest
saw the track in excellen l shape for the drop of the
. gate. Shelby Landi s on his Hou.w of Honda PW
ripped th e hol es ho t o ver Bea zell and Di an
Klin ger. Things went awa y for Landis on the
opening lap, however, when he hit a hol e and
went over the bars. Landis would card a DNF lhis
moto, but he wo uld be back for the second round.
Beaze ll took over th e lea d and was never
serious ly cha llenged by the IS-rider field . Dian
Klinger, on her Rea d s Racin g / R&D Vamaha,
had som e mechanical pro blems late in the moto
while running second. Robert Johnson took over
the number- three spol by go ing through th e
infield rockers more quickly than Jacob Renkenberger on the third lap, and the field wa s set for
the finis h - Beaze ll took the win, Klinger nursed
her sic k PW in for se co nd, Johnson came in
th ir d , Renkenberger was fou rth, a nd Ro be rt
Johnson of Fo rt Way ne, Ind iana, b rough t it
home for fifth.
Beaze ll ga te d th e q u ickes t in th e seco nd
mo ta ove r Travis Sm ith, Rob ert Johnson a nd
Klinger. Landis ha d a qui ck first-corner get-o ff
but he remo unted and set out after the field.
Beazel l held the lead on th e firs t lap, w ith
pressure from both Smith and Klinger, but landis was hot on the opening lap , passin g his wa y
all the way up to the fourt h spol. Landis got by
Klinger in th e w hoops for th ird on the seco nd
lap and continued his march to the front.
Up fro n t, Be azell co nt in u ed hi s winnin g
pace, pu lling away from the field while com pleting his seco nd circui t. Landis took over the second spot, pa ssing Smith at the finish line. Joh nson was. fourth, wi th Renkenberger fifth. Dian
Klinger ha d a problem in the Superbowl a rea ,
slidi ng out but quickly remounting a nd cha rg~
ing after the lead ers.
Beazell had opene d up a huge lead by the
time Landis had m oved into the second sp ot,
but Land is was riding the wheels off his Vamaha. Klinger was also on the gas , getting back into
the thi rd spo t by the white flag.
l
Beazell held off the charge of L. ndi s at lhe
checkers an d took the win , to the delight of the
chee ring spectators pa cked on the hillsid e. The
crowd on hand gave Shelby and lhe entire Auto
fieJd a wann welcom e at the fmis h line. Klinger

migh ty fou r-stro ke "o pen" bike to se

experience to pounce on his fellow compe titors.
With two full gates of 25-years-and ..,lder riders,
Ken worthy's fam ous mot ocros s track, with its
d ifficult obstacles, wo uld prove to be a deterrent
to lhe nol-so-bold , as only the very brave tackled
the 70-foot "Widowmaker" jump.
On hi s way to victory, Musselman had to
figh t off th e advances of se co nd- pl ace d Mike
