Douglas doubles at
Trail-Way ST
By Len and Ben Breech
HANOVER, PA.JUNE 26
After having just one double winner at the previous four ra ces, Brian Douglas left Trail-Way
Speedway with a pair of wins. Douglas easily
won the 125cc B race, and held off a fast-dosing
Shawn Baer for the 250cc B win.
Douglas sa w his lead in the 250cc B final
wiped out wi th a three-rider crash at the start of
the second lap. O n the o fficia l s tart, he again
took the lead, this time fro m Jason lsen nock.
Baer and Chris Klinefelter. Douglas gradually
Brya n Douglas (22)
leads Shawn Baer
(68 ) on the first lap
of 250cc Bracing
at Trail -Way
Speedway in
Hanover,
Pennsy lv ania.
Douglas went on to
. win and Baer
fi nished second,
put hi s Rabbi RacingHo nda in fro nt of th e
three..
z-way ba ttle for seco n d early in the race , but
BaCT took-second as the -halfway flags came out.
As the la ps woun d down, Baer moved up besid e
Do ugl as, trying to tak e the lead w ith an outside
pass, bu t he did not have the speed to complete
the move. At the end, Doug las led Baer across
. the finis h line by less than a length, with Isen neck an d Klinefelter still sorting o u t th eir new
mac hines after late starts to their seasons.
The win, of course, was Douglas' second of
the nig ht, but he was not the only rider to ha ve a
lan d ma rk even ing . John Lewis kept his 65cc win
streak alive and also wo n the 85cc class after los-
ing the class a t the sa me ven ue ear lier in th e
se ries. Other streaks continued, includ ing Brett
Pugh's unbea ten SOccOil- Injected rallyand Ray
Stillwell's second straight 50cc (7·8) win. Still,
we ll barely edg ed out Eva n Baer to notch the
win.
j im Cha pman d id a disappearing act in the
Over 40 fie ld, with Mike Keane, Bruce Miller
and Bill Menges fighting for second. Miller got
by Keane off the second tu m on lap five to claim
second. Keane stayed close and , coming off the
fina l tum, he slipped under Miller for second,
but Miller' s ATK had better drive than Keane's
Husaberg and he took second by inches .
.
In Pro action, Don Mullen put his t",.e-tirne
250cc Pro Sport-winning Suzuki in the 250cc A
lead ove r Core y He rm es , Raun Wood and Mike
Brabso n. After fightin g off Hermes' earl y challenge, he pu lled several lengths. While Hormes
and Wo od ba ttl ed for se co nd, Mullen's b ik e
sta rted tolook like a bu g-sprayer, as every time
he got on the throttle in the turn , a huge stream
of sm oke ca me out of the pip e. lt made things
interes ting in the battl e for second, as visibility
was severely limited .

Ciccotto stakes out Homestead

MESTEAD FL, JUNE27
,
Mike Cicco tto wo n th e Un limited Grand Pri x
(Shoo to ut), th e GTO and th e He a v y w eight
Supersport races at Hom estead . He ran away
wi th .wins in the GTO a nd Heavyweigh t Supcrsport events , bu t the Shootou t victory was not
claimed as easilv.
Marco Martinez and Rick Na ru p bo th left the
fr on t row d e te rm in ed to nab the coveted
holeshot pos itio n d own the front stra ight a nd
into turn one. Marti nez was out fron t and in the
'"ffi,
inside line to claim an early IC~ld . Behind tht. a
. tigh t pack of rid ers · includ ing Akiharu Shigeno,
C icco tto, Sha ne Prie to , Jo h n-O Bow ma n a nd
Gabriel Henning - all scra mbled in a ba ttle to
ru n up front. dc~tto quickly wo rkc>d his GSX·
RT;>O up to fourth pla ce, passed Shigeno a nd set
.his si gh ts on fro nt-ru nne r Martin ez. Sh igen o
mad e his move halfwa y through the course,
passin g first Naru p on th e Mu zzy Raptor 750
a nd then Martinez on his Broward Powcrsportssponsored ZX-9 . Ciccotto hit the front strai ght in
first place, but Martinez kicked in the power to
reclaim the lead as they launched through tum
on e again.
Crossing the sta rt / finis h line aga in at the
halfway mark, Martinez regained first place in a
two-way ba,ttle for the lead with Ciccotto . Mean·
w hile, Na rup was determined no t to let these
two get away from him and was tight on their
tails . Behind t hem, Bow ma n was lea ding a
thr ee-n der battle for fourt h place with Henning
a nd Prieto.
.
Up fro n t, Ciccotto mad e h is move in th e
sweep ing double apex of turns six and seven
again. He took the adva ntage by 'first sweeping
wide behind Mar tinez's tight line th rou gh six
and th en p us h ing in tig h t, und ern ea th Ma rtinez's line thro ugh seven, reclaimin g the lead.
Ju st behind Marti nez a nd Cicco tt o, He n ning
moved up to fou rth place after ove rta king Bowman in the tu m -four area, but Bowman was not
ready to be pushed back and took ad vantage of
some tum-six passing action of his own to mov e
back up to fourth.
By the whi te-flag lap , the pace had stepped
up a coup le of notches a nd Ciccotto had gained
about a lo-bike-Iength lead ove r Marti nez, w ho
was now abo ut 20 bike lengths a head of Narup.
