S
tanley Upert, from nearby Elyria,
Ohio, took wins in the Formula
RD and Formula 500 classes. Upert
has five straight doubles at this central 'Indiana track, dating back to May
of 2000. The soon-to-be first-time
father also leads in points in both
classes.
WERA Vintage racers were treated
to a beautiful day, with temperatures
in the low 80s and a slight breeze quite unlike the blistering heat the
Midwest has been suffering of late.
In the first race of the day, Formula RD, Upert had a tough time of it as
he chased a determined Wes Orloff
on his Ronald & Brian's Suzuki-sponsored RD. Orloff stayed in front of
Upert for the first five of the race's
eight laps. On lap six, Upert drafted
past Orloff on the long front straightaway and never looked back. Josh
Smith-Moore took a distant third.
Two Ted Hubbard-prepared BSA
singles took the first two spots in the
Heavyweight Classic division, as
David Matthews took the win over his
teammate Mick McDaniels, with
Thomas Bentley handling third. Doug
Bowie ran away with the Ughtweight
Classic win on his BCM Cycles 250cc
Ducati. Bultaco jockey Mike Mefford
took second and Team Giannini's
Buck Sexton grabbed third.
Race two featured Formula 500,
Vintage One and Mediumweight Classic. Upert grabbed his second win of
the day by leading from flag to flag in
Formula 500, with Robert Newby taking his Wohlfield's Yamaha TZ to a
solid second and Orloff settling for
third. Team Steve-O enjoyed a
one/two finish in Vintage One, as
Harold Page Jr. took the win after a
battle with Steve Pennington. Page
pulled away by lap six, and his teammate Mike Schulte reeled in Pennington and took the second spot away.
Bowie took his second win of the day
in Mediumweight Classic, over Bentley and Mefford.
