••••••••••••••• Van Zuyen in six, and Carson Shefts in seven. Fennessey went down in tum one, forcing the pack of riders to go wide in order to avoid him and then scramble for turn three. After the first-turn jumble, Marty Shefts led coming around on lap two, with Hansen in second. On lap three, Van Zuyen moved into third. On the last lap, Marty Shefts took the Yamaha Wildside Sports ISRA main-event win. Second place went to Hansen, third went to Van Zuyen, fourth went to Hunter, fifth was Carson Shefts, McAfee was sixth, and Fennessey finished seventh.

Everyone but Fortner, that is, and he brought cheers from the crowd as he charged the hill on his CR500 and flew high and far over the top in a breathtaking 2555 seconds for the class win and the Fast Time plaque and money. Scott Petty claimed third on his Honda with a 3.003-second run, with Randy Trosper and Butch Fetters close behind him in fourth and fifth. Fortner also claimed the win in the 750cc class on his "Hondasaki"' triple but missed a perfect evening, as he had to settle for fourth place in the 400cc Stock class. Matt Peters was the winner in that class on his YZ400F thumper, with Mark Schroeder and Kevin Weaver claiming second and third. McKay also had a very good night, as he claimed the win in the highly competitive 250cc class. Riding a beautiful, yellow-andblack, "retro' 2000 YZ250, McKay startled the onlookers with a 2.915-second time on his first ride - a time that would be fastest of the night until he himself broke it, in the 600cc class. The 2001 defending class champion, Matt Peters, was his closest competitor, as he posted a 3.195-second time on his Honda. Kevin Ryan was close on Peters as he claimed third with a 3.203·second time on his KX250, followed by Jon Creek and Cody Jenner. Peters also had a very good night, as he grabbed a win in the 450cc class on his KTM 380 to go with his win in the 400cc Stock class and second-place 250cc finish. His brother, Mark Peters, was the fastest of the Seniors, blazing over the top in an excellent 2.786 seconds on his KTM 550, followed by Doug Campbell, with a good 2.892-second run on Andy Fortner's Honda. Josh Denson and Billy Hanes came to the judges' stand after their 125cc-class rides and announced that they wanted to contribute their prize money to 16-year-old Katie Fisher (the daughter of Bob "Flyin' Fish'· and Phyllis Fisher), who suffered a devastating automobile accident on May 5 and is facing a long and expensive recovery. They were quickly followed by Jacob Tackitt and Jared McKay, and then it seemed as if a floodgate opened, as rider after rider passed their winnings on to Katie. By the time the weekend was over, the riders had contributed more than $800 to Katie, and with the proceeds from a club-run 50-50 drawing, more than $1000 was collected on Katie's behalf. I've never been prouder of my hiUdimbing friends than I was that weekend. eN Resuhs ................. April 22, 1985 1IEsI_ ••• Coming, California DISCI~ •••••••• Motocross . . . . IN.
