Pleasure Riders Hillclimb
It"s Fast Andy
at Old Bud
BY Boo NORTHROP
CAYUGA, IN, JUNE 22
The Pleasure Riders Motorcycle Club honored
one of their life members, Bud Northrup, with
the "Old Bud Shootout" hillclimb on June 22.
Bud was celebrating "the 30th anniversary of
his 30th birthday" and the club helped him by
naming the event in his behalf.
"Fast Andy" Fortner was the star of the
show, as he posted the fastest time of the
evening on his 750cc "Hondasaki" triple on
his way to the win in the 750cc class - but it
wasn't easy, as Randy "Rocketman" Trosper
had set a 4.062-second fast time on his first
run in the 600cc class, which held up through
the second round of that big and often fastest
class. Fortner couldn't match him on his
CR500, coming in with a 4.121-second time but Andy's a double threat, as he still had his
fast triple to run in the 750cc class. And run it
did, in the second round, as Fortner charged
the I 50-foot hill with full throttle and sailed the
screaming machine over the top in 4.081 seconds, taking the Fast TIme award by a mere
one-thousandth of a second! Jason Northrup
took second on his "Hondasaki" triple, with
Boots Weber coming all the way from
Wathena, Kansas, to take third on his classy
Yamaha twin.
In the 600cc class, Jared McKay also put
serious pressure on Trosper, topping the hill
in 4.100 seconds on his 10<500, and Scott
Petty was also fast, with a 4.117-second run
on his CR500.
Butch Fetters posted a 4.177-second run
on his Kawasaki for fifth, resulting in the
top five riders being packed inside a tenth of
a secondl
Petty and Trosper met again In the Senior
(Over 40) class, with different results. This
time, Petty, the District 15 hiliclimb referee,
set the time to beat in the first round, at 4.306
seconds. In the second round, Trosper nailed
a 4.142-second run to take the lead, only to
see Petty return with a sizzling 4.134-second
run to claim the win. Ron Todd blazed over the
top in 4.166 seconds on his Kawasaki for third
place, followed by Mark Peters and Scott Pear-
son. Todd continued his good riding, however,
in the Super Senior (Over 50) class and took
that class win with a 4.531-second run, followed by Gayle Jenkins, Bud Northrup and
Keith Klett.
