Jeff Carver found the new sur· face to his liking, and he took a passel of class wins on the night. Carver's first win came from a holeshot in the 85cc short·track main. He led a string of riders around and was first to the nag after a race-long battle with Frankie Lee Gillim and Tyler Whitecotten. Jonathan Heiden came from the back row to run fourth, with Michael Johnson rounding out the top five. The 85cc IT was an instant replay of the short·track contest: Carver took off for anoth· er win, with Gillim again in the runner-up spot. Johnson moved to third, over Heiden, White· cotten and Nick Page. The 200cc Amateur class also belonged to Carver. He swept both the short-track and IT mains. Patrick Pyle took the second spot in the short track by holding off Frankie Lee, c.J. Cooper and Hayden Gillim. Hayden moved to second on the IT, ahead of Cooper, Frankie Lee and Pyle. Justin Hanna was unbeaten in 200cc Pro· Am action, as he swept both main events. Frankie Lee was once again second on the short track, followed by Hayden, Carver and Heiden. The Gillims changed spots in the IT, with Carver placing fourth, over Whitecotten, Erhardt Heisner and Cooper. Frankie Lee's payback would come in the 65cc class, the largest class of the night. Two heats and a semi whittled the fIeld down to a 12-rider main. Frankie Lee got the holeshot in both main events and held on for close wins over Michigan rider Johnson and Whitecotten. Hayden rode to fourth on the short track, over Alabama's Miles Thornton. Jake Lewis took the fourth slot in the IT, with Hayden fIfth. Lewis swept the 50cc Chain class in both events, with Ethan GiUim a close second in each one. Andrew Johnson fIlled the third spot on the oval, over Scott Steinwagner, Nick McFadden and Joseph Crafton. McFadden came up to third in the IT, with Steinwagner, Johnson and Crafton follOWing. Ethan topped the 50cc Shaft fIeld, with Luke Baird second and McFadden third on the short track. McFadden and Baird traded places in the IT. Stephen Hartzel made his return to racing a good one, as he took the Open Pro win. He pulled the holeshot and had his hands full with Logan Myers but never bowed under the pres· sure, taking the win by a wheel. Aaron Ladd followed in third, over Rod Hartzel, Coy Matthews and Dean Faulkner. Myers took his share of wins on the night. as he topped the Open Pro-Am short track and IT and the Open Pro IT. Hartzel doubled up with wins in the Vet Over 30 and Over 40 fIelds. Ron Anderson seemed to be healed up from the last race, as he carded the win in the Over 50 class, over Dennis Porter. Ed Clark. John Skinner and Clyde Modlin. Results Short Track 2. 1.JJke Baird (Yam): 3. Nick (Yam): 4 Dylan Douglas (Yam): 5. Evan Stewart (&.a). 50 CHAIN: 1. Jake Lewis (Cob): 2. Ethlln Glilim (Cob): 3.

East Bend Motorsports Fields Sallies Forth By MARK NEUENS EAST BEND, NC, MAR. 29 East Bend's newly redesigned track was put to the test at the opening AMA District 29 race for 2003. Four riders came out In the 50cc Shaft class. Kyle Mitchell took the holeshot, followed by Montgomery Fields, Chris Turbyfill and Malik Miles. Mitchell, starting his second season of racing, held the first spot for about a lap, and then Fields made it by. Turbyfill made the move later on to take the second spot. Fields ran great races in both motos to take first overall, and Turbyfill took second overall. Mitchell held off Miles in both motos to take third overall. Cooper Webb put on a show, flying through the 50cc (7-8) class. Webb swept the class well in front of Dylan Carringer, Blake Lewis, Cody Kosut and Tyler Gerringer. Webb had some difficulty on his 65cc machine, though, falling to third overall in the 65cc (7 -9) class, behind Forrest Trent and Zach Newberry. There was a great race in the 85cc (7-11) class. Virginia's Jamie Fringer led the first moto, with Thomas Neuens running second. Kevin McMullan went by Neuens after coming back from a bad start, and Fringer crashed and wouldn't be back for the second moto. McMullen took first overall, followed by Neuens and Forrest Trent. Jonathan Balfour took first overall in the Schoolboy class, with Forrest Seebeck taking second. New this year to 125cc bikes, Jeremy Reid and Skylar Payne went back and forth, but the two got hung up, and Payne came out first to take fourth overall, while Reid settled for fIfth. A strange spring rain with heavy snow fol· lowed this Saturday night race, canceling out the Sunday race, which would also have been a U.S. Eastern Spring Series race. It will be rescheduled for a later date. Results 50 SHAFT: 1. Montgomery Fields: 2. Christopher Turbyfill: 3. Kyle Mitchell: 4. Malik Miles. 50 (4·6): 1. Casey Dyer: 2. Montgomery FIelds: 3.
