Perry County Fair
Voltz Shocks 'em
BY RuPERT X. Pw.Err
NEW LEXINGTON, OH, JULY 17
In an electrifying performance, Dwight ·W.B."
Voltz busted out some high-voltage moves at
the Perris County Fair, site of round nine of
the Ohio County" Fair Motocross Series. The
rider from Mount Sterling, Ohio, is a common
sight on the podium, yet a big win here was
r"fr"shing for th" Torco Fu"ls-sponsored
racer.
Aft"r slamming his heavily modified
Kawasaki KX310 in for second place in the
Open class, Voltz was feeling the need for a
win. Playing second fiddle to Chris "L..d-Man"
Lead~at"r in the big-bore division was all the
inspiration Voltz needed; when the time came
for the Over 30 contest, Voltz leaped out on
his trusty green rocket and annihilated the
competition, completely ruling this one-motoformat event. "Gentleman" Gerry Bennett took
the runner-up spot, while "Buffalo" Bill Reiss
rounded out the podium in third.
Reiss wanted a win, too, however, so he
sank his teeth into the Over 40 class, besting
Yamaha~mounted Jim Dickerson for the win.
F&S Suzuki's Derrick Arledge took the
measure of the 125cc B and Schoolboy classes, romping off with both wins in style on his
RM125.
Laneast"r's Dylan Walker strolled off with
the 50cc (7-8) class victory on his King Cobra
50, whil" Justin Witteman, son of District II
fast guy Jim Witteman, spanked the 50cc (4-6)
class.
L..vi Kilbarger sl"w the 65cc class, but he
was unable to beat Open and 16-24-c1ass
winner Chris Leadb"ater's younger brother
Joey in the 80cc (7-11) division. Sport
Cycles' Jake Mohney won the 8xc (12-15)
class, while Chris Ro~rtson set the pace and
took the victory in the 80ce Extra class.
It was a solo run for Bub Thomas in his
mastery of the 250cc A class, whereas Steve
"Animal" Andrich slipped his MPS-backed
Yamaha YZ250F in for the 125cc A and Over
25 wins.

day preparing the facility for racing. The regular contingent of California AHRMA competitors who ride multiple classes provided some
very exciting racing.

Joe Steffen's Yamaha. Steffen pull Horton off
the line in the Vet race, with Br8d Spencer in
third. Horton got by Steffen on the second lap,
