Hare Scrambles series, did everything he
could to stay ahead of Wegner's Yamaha.
When the lead duo raced through the final

less than a bikelength between them. Bersano

heats and all the way to the final, with Troy
Runck taking second and Phil Brown scoring
third in all races. Kevin Keay took the heats
and the final in GTO, with Paul DeWitt taking
second in all three races.
The Formula 1000 contest proved to be
one of the most exciting races of the day, as
local favorite Keith Miller took the lead, and
Costley charged up to challenge him. Miller
barely held off Costley for several laps; then
Costley pushed too hard in the double apex,
tucked the front and slid off the track, giving
Miller what was then an easy win. Brian Herndon rode alone to take second. Dave Dikatolia
put his extensive track experience to work,
keeping Dave Pillar from passing him, and
Dikatolia took his second podium of the day.
The Heavyweight Superbike race had the
crowd screaming. Brad Tinker pulled into the
iead as Costley tried to keep his wheelie off
the line under control, starting on John Butterman's R6. Costley moved through the pack
and passed Tinker midway through the race.
Trying to keep pace with the leader, Tinker
drifted into some oil on the high line of the
banked oval and bounced over the edge of the
track. Costley showboated to the finish, with
Mike Shreve and Mike Applehans finishing
second and third'.
The Super Twins also featured some crash
action. Jason Mathiason crashed on the same
banked oval while in the lead. Sean McNew
grabbed the lead on lap three and checked
out, with Bruce Krummel and Steve Hurley
following him on the podium.
"Trash talking" set the stage for the Open
Beginner race, with Daniel Franchini vowing
to "beat the girls" and the four women starters
commenting on Franchini's age. "Frenchie"
made good on his promise and took first.
Nicole Robran matched her May performance
with another second. and Susan Van Disco
rounded out the podium.
The next races are on July 19 and 20.

Pleasure Riders Hillclimb
Fetters
Flashes by 'em Again

BUD NORTHRUP
CAYUGA, IN. JUNE 22
Butch "Fearless" Fetters continued his hot riding on the second day of the Pleasure Riders'
doubleheader weekend, with much the same
results: two class wins and the Fast Time
award. He set the fast time again on his first
ride in the 600cc class, blazing over the top of
the 150-foot hill in 4.171 seconds on his
KX500, taking the class win and Fast Time
from Jared McKay, the 17-year-old "young
gun" from Neoga, who had posted a time of
4.211 seconds on his Kawasaki.
Fetters quickly returned in the 600cc
class, where, riding his National Champion
KTM 520. he posted a 4.468-second time for
his 10th win in 11 events this year in that
class. Will Dalenberg, riding a 450cc Honda,
put decent pressure on him with a 4.513-secand run for second place.
Mark "Murk" Schroeder also had back-toback double-win days on his YZ250. His first
win came in the 250cc class, with a fine
4.283-second first-round time on his stocklength Yamaha. Class points leader Matt
Peters nailed down second place with a 4.320·
second run on his Honda, and 13-year-old
John Michael Goeken took third. Schroeder
has been nearly unbeatable this year in the
250cc class, when he rides - he has four wins
and a second in the five climbs in which he's
competed.
Schroeder's second win came in the 400cc
Stock class, where his first-round 4.436-sec·
ond run was good enough to win. but Murk
rode again anyway. beating his own time with
an excellent 4.238-second run - one of the
best of the day. Schroeder has three wins and
two seconds in the five climbs he's ridden in
this class. The young Gocken. on his Yamaha,
was the next best in the class, with a 4.457second run.
Jason Northrup appears to have all the
bugs out of his Jeff Thomas-built 1220cc
Yamaha, as he took the win in the Open class
for the second straight day, with a 4.662-secand run. Harley riders Steve Shafer and Randy
"Buzz" Green finished second and third. Green
is still leading the class in points, but Northrup
is coming on strong, and the class is getting
tight; the rest of the year will be interesting.
