and 80A Schoolboy classes.
Ray Gully held its first National in 1982
when they hosted the Junior and Schoolboy
National for which they received the,
Canadian Motorcycle Associations highest
seal of recognition, the.Organizer'i Award.

Among the many riders that will take to
the course on Sunday is world class racer
Ross Pederson of Medicine Hat, Alberta.
Pederson is said to be "unbelievable and
unbeatable" as he has won every major
motocross Expert Championship in the past
two seasons.
Pederson started to make his mark in 1978
when. he began, IOU* Nit4onal titles as
$0.140r. ThelollOWin8 Yearly moved up to.
Expert and, as a rookie, placed second in the
290 and Open Classes. In 1980-81 he Wolf the
title in both masses as well as the Supercross
title.
His intelligence and aggressiveness
makes him the number one contender at this
year's Expert National.
Injury inflicted Mike Harden of Oshawa,
Ontario should give Pederson a race for the
title as his knowledge of the Hully Gully
track is extensive. Harden, who placed
second in the 1981 National and third in the
Supercross, has raced.and taught motocross
schools at Hully- Gully.
Pierre Couture of Drummondville,
Quebec has a riding style that suits the Hully
Gully track. Couture, who will be appearing
with teammates Harnden and Krough, is
ranked number three for the race.

• Columbia has been on of the top 10 riders in
the country. For four of the five years he has

on the Hully Gully track and conducted a
motocross school there, giving him an added
advantage.
Local Racers
Local challengers to watch for include
Clinton's Sean Van Dongen. Van Dongen, or
the "flying Dutchman" as he is known, is no
stranger to the Nationals. He was the
Canadian National Schoolboy champion in
1981, had a top 10 standing at the 1982 Junior
Nationals and was expected to win the 1983
Senior Nationals, however an unfortunate
crash put him out of contention.
Chuck Collins, Hully Gully track designer
and builder, finished in third place in the
Ontario Open Expert in 1983. His riding
skills coupled with the obvious advantage of

•Errors plague Clinton Midgets in loss to Exeter
By Shawn Lester
After having a very poor showing in the
first inning when twelve runs were scored
against them, the Clinton midgets sent Troy
Falconer to the mound to relieve the star-
ting pitcher. For four innings the Exeter
Midgets were held scoreless. But the Clinton
• bats did not come alive until the sixth inning
when they rallied for Seven rpm. The final
score was 16-9 for Exeter.
Witt last minute changes to the line-uo
some of the Clinton Midgets were asked to
play positions they were not familiar with.
Run after run was the result of numerous er-
rors which resulted in eight runs for
Goderich. The Clinton bats were ineffective
because of running errors. However, in the
last inning Clinton was able to rally to bring
their runs to six. Dean Cartwright was the
starting pitcher and went all the way doing a
good job. •A few outstanding plays were
made by the second baseman Troy
Falconer.
Clinton, again got off to another slow start
making errors in the first inning which
resulted in three runs for Seaforth. With the
strong pitching of Troy Falconer and the ag-
gressive base running of the Clinton
players, Clinton was able to win the game 6-
5. However, the star of the game was Keith
Kurman who made three spectacular cat-
ches in centre field and on a resounding hit
which took him tu second base, he brought in
the winning run.
