The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-08-10, Page 16(/3, G!NAIA+I.. Area !r• e place at Hully Gully Sunday and Monday, July 31 and August 1, Hully Gully was host to riders from all over Canada. Most riders coming to the races came from Ontario, but also pre- sent 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 one 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 Cana- dian Expert Champion, and came to Hully Gully's races this weekend straight from a 5th 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. Peder - son'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 on Sun- day. That made the races a treat for the spectators, but made things perhaps a little more interesting than some of the lower ranked riders cared for. Rain again during the night threatened Mon- day's races, but track of- ficials managed to drain the track sufficiently so that it was actually in better condi- tion 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 1 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 expert rider Chuck Collins finished second overall to Pederson in 250 and open classes, and numerous other riders were close behind. Considering Pederson's World class stan- dings, it shows what a long way motocross, particularly motocross in Ontario, and in Midwestern Ontario, has come. Spectators were treated to some of the best motocross action since the Canadian Senior National Champion- ship was held at Hully Gully. In fact, many of the riders who were at that champion- ship were back for the Civic Holiday races. Stephen Luyks, of Dorchester, cur- rent 125 Senior National 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' performance 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 pre- sent. 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 astounding 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. Some area top finishers in their class were: Jim Dick ins of Hensall, who finished first in the School Boy 80-B class; Randy Ford of Grand Bend finished second in the Senior -Expert 240 and over class; Darryl Simpson of Exeter finished second in the Junior 125 class; Hugo Maaskant of Clinton finished second in the Senior Open; Chuck Collins of Varna finished second in the Expert 250 and the Expert Open. The next races at Hully Gully will be held on Sep- tember 5. — PORTI(1P3trion D It,:AUOUST 10,1983 SCHNEIDERS STORE SLICED IMNN.,:STYLE tSOoiag AMER SAUSAGE 3.99b.
