The aocc Senior class featured another great ride on the day. New Yamaha rider Bryce Bowman has been struggling so far this season, but you couldn't tell that by the way he rode.

Henry finished second and Simmons was third. R••ulb 50 JR: I. Sech Bowman; 2. Jeff Mikrwonh; 3. ..Jordan By~ 50 50, I. Robert Ilonning. 65: 1. Tyter Goocman; 2. Trevor LaIVf'ft'lCe; 3.

With no mistakes and with his fast and impressive doubl" and triple jumps. he qUickly ran away with the moto·one win and took another outstanding first place in moto two. Rich Boiteau proved worthy of his Master A status with his two fast· paced sec- ond-place rides. In Masters Over 40 action, Dave Eropkin had the starts, with the fastest bike and the necessary focus to take both holeshots. He definitely had the important things down pat, and he didn't mess up along the w.y .s he took the top spot in both motos. Club presi· dent Steve Donaldson showed some good moves and lots of power as he crossed over the finish with his two second·place finJshes. Phil Cruz blasted out at such a fast pace that no other Masters Over 50 rider could better it, in either moto one or two. However. Dave Jacobus certainly gave it a good try and put out some fast speeds, but he just couldn't beat Cruz's faster pace and had to settle for runner· up both times out. There was lots of competition in Experts Over 40 class. You might s.y it was the "Battle of the Flying W's" as Ed Wolleson, Dan Willenborg, and the two Williamses - Tim and Jim· raced one another.

Winsett Blazes at Trail-Way ST By lEII BREEOl HANOVER, PA, APR. 14 After getting caught trying to beat the light in the Over 40 heat, John Winsett Sr. settled down and tried to beat the pending rain at WAPEllA, IL, APR. 14 U.S. 51 MX Park's Mxtreme Series is becoming one of the biggest draws in Illinois. Co· host to the very successful lIIini series, Tom and his crew wanted to upgrade their track series to something that would draw people in droves. Looking down the gate at the size of classes. it's apparent they got what they wanted. How did they do it? By running a smooth Trail-Way Speedway's rain·date short track. He did just beat the rain, and Lowell Wherley program and making the needed improve· ment to the track to keep everyone safe l!Ind two hours behind schedule. With rain being forecast for most of the day, .pparently many for the win. The race was originally scheduled to be the only Saturday night race of the season, with Sunday listed as a rain date. And for the second year in a row, the only night race was rained out, with almost an inch of rain falling. The forecast for Sunday wasn't much better, but an excellent job by track personnel got the track in racing condition only about having fun. This is a good track, with a little of something for everyone: tight section whoops, fast sections, etc. On 1!I sad note, we lost another rider for the season. National flat-track rider Johnny Murphree suffered a broken leg as 1!I result of 21 first·turn pile· up. Everyone wishes him good luck and a speedy recovery. The second round of the series saw many faces new to the season, including the return of Soc.1 rider Kyle Corman after recuperating from. broken leg. "i'm glad to be back racing," said Corm.n. which is • big chore, considering that he has two sons who also race. Everyone in the fami· Iy helps, and they seem to make the efforts involved in racing look easy and fun. Kevin's sons Kyle and Zach do not just ride, they are .Iways a threat for the win at .ny race they enter, .nd on this day they both won their classes. It's families like the Cormans that make motocross whl!lt it is today! In the 50cc Senior class, Zach Corman put his Cobra out front in both motos for the wins and the overall. Zach put in a very strong ride and looked great. Behind Corman is where all the action took place, with Dustin Bartz Alexander Ashworth and Seth Callahan r.cing for their lives. When the dust settied, Bartz was second overall, Ashworth was third over- all and Callahan was fourth overall. The 80cc Open was one of the best races of the day, if not the best. In moto one, K.wasaki rider Mike Matway took the holeshot and was on the gas! Back in the pack. Socal rider Kyle Corman was on the move toward the front, bringing Suzuki rider Mason Reich with him. Corm.n worked his way up to Mat· way, and the race was on. Corman worked his way past Matway for the win, and he also won the overall, with Matway second and Reich third. And how did Kevin Corman do? He placed fourth in the Over 30 A class· not bad for the new comeback kid. Results 50 JR: I. 8nM:Bee Williams; 2. .MJck Exbom. 50 SR: 1 Z8dl Corman: 2. 0ustJn BaJU; 3.

Only three finals ran until the rains started falling, with the rest of the classes being called complete from the heat results. Raun Wood was awarded the two multi-heat wins, in the 600cc A and Sportsman classes, based on his faster heat time. The Over 40 contest was the last final to run, and this time Winsett didn't try to "cut the light" on his Two Wheel Promotions/Path Valley Speedway·sponsored Rot.x. He grabbed the lead from Over 40 "newbi,," Lowell Wher· ley, Steve Heiser and Mike Keane. Wherley stayed with Winsett and gradu.lly cut into his 4 Seth Callahan: 5. Jacob Schweitzer. 65: 1.
