Times-Advocate, 1983-08-10, Page 9Chuck Collins finishes second Times -Advocate, August 10, 1983 Page 9 Canadian motocross champ breaks tough minute, 40 second barrier at Hully Gully Sunday and Monday of the Civic Holiday weekend, Hul- ly Gully was host to riders from all over Canada. Most riders coming to the races came from Ontario, but also present were riders from as far away as British Columbia. The high point of the weekend's action was the ap- pearance Monday of Ross Pederson, National Suzuki team rider and current number on plate holder in motocross. For the uninitiated, the coveted number one plate goes to the best rider in the country. Pederson, of Medicine Hat, Alberta, is the current Canadian Expert Champion, and came to Hul- ly Gully's races this weekend straight from a fifth place overall finish at the U.S. Grand Prix in Unadilla, New York the day before. The previous weekend, Pederson finished third overall in the World 250 Grand Prix at St. Gabriel, Quebec. That's the highest place finish ever for a Cana- dian in the World's Grand Prix of Motocross, Pederson's presence at a non - championship race indicates the level of importance motocross is gaining - and underscores the level of the track. Heavy rains made the track very muddy, Sunday. That made the races a treat for the spectators, but made things perhaps a little more in- teresting than some of the lower ranked riders cared for. Rain again during the night threatened Monday's races, but track officials managed to drain the track sufficiently so that it was actually in better condition than the day before. In fact, some of the best lap - times were turned in on Mon- day. Ross Pederson managed to break the tough one minute -40 second lap time barrier with several 1:38's. Some very respectable times were turned in by many others as well. Varna area ex- pert rider Chuck Collins finished second overall to Pederson in 250 and Open classes, and numerous other riders were close behind. Con- sidering Pederson's World class standings, it shows what a long way motocross, par- ticularly motocross in On- tario. and in Midwestern On- • tario, has come. Spectators were treated to some of the best motocross action since the Canadian Senior National Championship was held at Hully Gully on July 9th and 10th. In fact, many of the riders who were at the champion- ship were back for the Civic Holiday races. Stephen Juvenile girls have good season The Exeter juvenile girls fastball team has completed the regular schedule with a record of 10 victories and two defeats and is ready for the playoffs which are expected to start within a week.

Luyks, of Dorchester, current 125 Senior Nation Champion was also there to race, and in the combined Senior/Expert program led several motos - even the ones Ross Pederson was in. In fact, Luyks' perfor- mance was once again flawless, as it was in the Nationals. The electricity generated by the calibre of riders at this two day event seemed to take over all the riders present. Jimmie Dickens of Hensall, in the School Boy classes shone in the races and took home some gold on Sunday for the first time. Even in the school boy races, some truly astoun- ding lap times were being turned in, despite the less than ideal conditions. Other National class riders present were Tim Ming of London, Winston Byblow, 1982 Junior Champion, Jim Kuches, Jim Brooks, and others from the Nationals' riders' list. Results: School Boy 80-A - Tim Rayner, Brantford,'John Suvanto, Richmond Hill, Cor- ey Stoll, Scarborough; School Boy 80-B - Jim Dickins, Hen - HE SHOOTS.
