Lancaster, CA July 28, 2001
Antelope Valley Fair
grounds
was the site of an AHRMA west regional
short track event benefiting the family of Rod
Damron.
Speedway promoter
and grader operator Brad Oxley, brought in his usual
fine short track.
Jeff and Chris Apple spent a night and long day
preparing
the facility
for racing. The regular contingent of California
AHRMA
competitors that
ride multiple classes provided some very exciting
racing.
Tom Horton tried a Suzuki
Twin in the Sportsman 250 race, but was
not able to pass Joe Steffen's Yamaha. Steffen pull
Horton off the line
in the Vet race, with Brad Spencer in third. Horton
got by Steffen on
the second lap, and at mid race Spencer powered by
Horton on the back
straight for the win. Horton went wire to wire over
Spencer in the
Sportsman 600 event, with Greg Wilburn and John
Lundgren
in 3rd and 4th
spots in the all Honda class. Spencer holeshotted
Horton for the 70's
Singles title, while Steffen and Lundgren argued
over
3rd and 4th place
for the whole race. Greg Wilburn, back from his long
work vacation in
Hawaii, blasted Horton off the line in the race for
750 Sportsman. The
two thundering Larry Wilburn built Triumphs eased
out to a big lead.
Then Greg Wilburn bobbled, and Horton was gone.
The large field of 250
Novices
watched Don Barmakian lead from the
green flag to the checker. Cliff Edginton passed
half
the Novice 600
class in one turn and rode off with the win on a
Honda
Twin. Old Dave
aced the restart of the Novice 750 show and held on
over Barmakian for
the win. Ron Moore and Marshall Jennings trophied
in the Senior and
Super Senior races.
Eddie Mulder 661 268-0
