After a late night of sho rt -track raci ng . the last
of t he rac e tra il ers w ere moved o ut of th e
m ain pits at the Beaver Cycl e Club early Sun day m orn ing . Wi th th e addition of a jump and
a few extra ti res. the s h o rt ~ t r a c k start/fin ish
li ne and first tw o turn s had bee n co nv erted
into a scram bles t rac k . Sunday's event was
one of five scrambl e events on the -2003 AMA
District 16 d irt -tra ck sc he d ule . A ft er eve r y body fi ni shed bl eed ing newly insta lle d fr ont
brak es, raci ng go t under way .
Th e 65cc ma in o ffe red some exci tem ent
early in the day . Jordan Sch oen. who is currentl y run ning th e number-o ne pl ate in t he
cl ass, took a fir st -lap lead in fro nt o f Kev in
T ig ert to re through th e field wh en th e g reen
fl ag dropp ed, and bef ore the end of the first
lap he'd elbow ed his way to sixth pla ce. Mean ~
whil e, Toye sho wed the way and qui ckly built
a three-sec ond lead .
Al thou gh Tigert stated after the race that
he didn 't know the tra ck as well as the loc als
did. he got to th ird place in a rem arkable thr ee
laps . On ly a few turn s after t h at , h e wa s
slipping past Lan ders to earn second place: he
then proceeded to go aft er T oye.
A few seconds behi nd them. Lan ders, Dale
Kieff er and Stem wer e engaged in a dead-sen ous fight fo r third pla ce. How serious? Well , it
too k Land ers fiv e laps to shake off the ot he r
two . Stern wo rk ed hard to get pa st Kieffer: He
dove deeper and deeper into tum one. only to
be outbraked by Kieff er, lap aft er lap .
A s expecte d , T oy e wa s the fir st to g ree t
th e c hec ke red fl ag . ah ead of an im p ressive
T igert. Lan de rs was a di stant th ird .
The magnitude of Stern ' s m isf ort unes was
m ad e obvious wh en his rear ti re bl ew up spectacu larl y on th e main straig ht. Th e racer d id
an admirab le job of controll ing hi s wild ly fishtaili ng ma ch ine and managed t o co me to a
stop without falling .
In Open Superst o ck , T y ler Pau lson and
Cli nto n Whiteh ou se III started the race from
t h e f ro n t row; i f the y wer e th e fav o rite s .
nob od y both ered to tell Land ers, w ho bolted
o u t o f nowhere at th e st a rt , sh o ck ing th e
crowd by ente ri ng tum o ne in third place. Ki effer led the pack, cl imbing towa rd turn three .
Landers passed one m ore com petito r to po siti on him self beh ind Kieffer before the end o f
the lap. After spending two m o re laps stud y ing
the lea de r. Lan ders m ade his move, sli p ping
on the inside of tum three . ridi ng side by side
wi th Kieffe r aro und th e curve. A s o nlooke rs
held thei r breath: Kieffer fough t hi m off, k eep ing the lead . La nders' ef fo rts paid off in th e
next curv e, where he moto red through the fast
back straight, leading at the end of the fou rth
lap .
Wi th o ne mo re l ap to go . Kieffe r k ept
a tt ac k i ng La nd er s, bu t he w asn' t a b le to
improve his position . At th e end of lap five.
Kieffer dived on the inside of tum one to out brake th e leade r; aga in. Land ers em erged fir st.
Bu t Kieffer didn 't give up : Agai n , he tr ied to

all seemed lost wh en La nde rs emerged fro m

Ma ny compa red the tra ck to Sou thw ick' s

worko ut on hi s YZ25 0 in the 250cc Pro cl ass.
Wh en the gate dr opped , Kelb y gr abbed the

in th e dee p whoops and crashing, and he wa s
the n hit by anoth er co m petito r: Cummings did
not co nt inu e.
By the fo urth lap, Pepp er and Gallegos had
gained con siderable gro und on Sabbaugh and
Steed. Then Gall egos outbraked Pepper into

th e large cro wd of spect ators. The first mo to

When lap one finished , Galle gos had leap ed

Pepp er co nt inue d at a fi er ce pa ce , with
Galle gos clos ing in. As both Yam aha rider s

Gallego s sta rte d g ri nd ing o n Pepp er' s rear
