Exposition Arena: Ryan Leach (611) topped the 250cc Pro and Up The Hill classes, both with 1-1 sweeps, during arenacross action in Salem, Oregon. Exposition Arena Leach lands Salem AX wins By CLAV LIGHT SALEM, OR, FEB, II Albany, Oregon's Ryan Leach. riding the Herb's Cycietown of Cottage Grove Yamaha, landed a pair of overall Pro-class wins during Arenacross action at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. Arguably the dominant rider for the past decade here, Leach netted wins in the 250cc Pro and Up The Hiit ciasses, both with 1-1 performances. Another rider showing dominance was Mike Storm, who led the way in the 125cc Pro class, although Storm's over· all victory, unlike Leach's, didn't come with a double moto sweep, as longtime AMA National contestant Tony Graves and Storm split moto victories. In the first] 25cc Pro moto, Graves, another of the Herb's Cycietown teamsters, led the SMP-supported Storm and KTM-mounted Gary Terlecki to the finish, The Suzuki-mounted Graves, however, couldn't repeat that performance in the second contest, and it was Storm who garnered the mota win and, more impor. tantly, the overall win, giving him a big boost heading into Sunday's Golden State National. Graves applied heat to Leach in both of the 250cc Pro contests, but, as has been the case all season long (except for the first race of the season, which went in Graves' favor), Leach was the recipient of the top cash payoff after holding Graves and Salem's Ryan Hagemann at bay in each outing. The lone Intermediate who ran with the Professional riders, Jon Kauffman, was also Leach's competition in the Up The Hill class, in which Leach finalized his sweep of the evening via ] - -, showings. SUluki·mounted Matt Crawford has been in contention for class high-point honors throughout the season, leading the ] 25cc and Before The Hill classes until a nasty spill put a premature end to his season. Austin Gettel, who trailed Crawford by a slim margin in both classes, nabbed overall victories in both class· es after Crawford's demise, picking up the Before The Hill win with 2- 1 performances, then using a similar tally to top Brian Thibedeau in the] 25cc Junior class for one of the six double class win tallies on the evening. Another double class winner was Kawasaki rider Shawn Haberlock. The KX pilot earned wins in the 60cc Senior class, in which he topped KTM riders Ajay Olinger and Jacob Kannada, and also in the 80cc (g-II) class, leading Travis McAckin and Olinger, who this time was on a Suzuki, to the finish.
