Lenhardt, Koski captures Billings dirt drags wins By Brian George BILLINGS, MT, AUG. 22 With a lull in the local motocross action, the Billings Motorcycle Club decided to host an unusual event for the midwest motorcycle competitors and put on a dirt drag race , for machines from 80cc to 750cc-plus. To spice up the event, the club put up a $2,000 purse, which helped draw nearly 100 riders from various states in the region. Action kicked off with the 85cc bikes lining up, and, in the Stock Dirt class, Mike Marshall and Darren Kobelt lined up for the final. By the end of the straight, it .was Marshall taking the win and advancing to the 85cc Top Eliminator final against 85cc Modified winner, Troy Dunlap. In this final , Marshall again proved to be the fastest Mini with a quick victory and top overall for the day. In the big bikes, 500cc machines were split into three classes: street, dirt and modified, with the street portion going to Dave Dodge. In the hotly-contested dirt action, Bryan Hayes bested Tony Bracy and Dave Johnson for the right to run in Top Eliminator, as Gary Frank held off Les Smith and Dennis Phel to make his way to the finale. In the threerider run-off for Top Eliminator, Bryan Hayes emerged the fastest competitor, with Dodge and Frank running two-three. In 750cc action, Mark Lenhardt defeated Gary Crocket and Frank Delaware, while Scott Koski outran Darrell Devitt and Brent Lenehan for the 750cc-plus bracket. Among the three Top Eliminators of the big-bike category, a Top-Eliminator-of-the-Day race was held, for big money, where Mark Lenhardt beat both Hays and Koski to run home with "Best Dragster of the Day " laurels. In other racing Don Hoban took the 125cc Dirt division ahead of Dean Ronan and Jason Frank, and it was Jeff Dietz th e victor in 125ccModified over Kelly Pratt. In the Top Eliminator runoff, Dietz took the title with Hoban ending his da y in second. Larry Coomber made his way into the 250cc Dirt Top Eliminator run with a win over T om Cardwell and Mitch Moe , with Ric Rael winning the Modifeid portion, leaving Ken Dietz and Mark Lenhardt second and third. In the 250cc Top Eliminator, Rael came out on top; Coomber rolled in with runnerup awards. • Results 85 DIRT: 1. Mike Marshall; 2. Darren Kobelt. 85 MOD : 1. Troy Dunlop. 85 TOP ELlM : 1.
