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.
