The weather is holding, and 1
the hardy members of the En- t
field Dirt Diggers motorcycle
club will sponsor a motocross at t
the new Enfield Moto Park, t
located on Enfield Center Road,
seven miles west of Ithaca, this
Sunday.
The races in several classes
will start at noon, with the ,
signup at 9 a.m., and practice
from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
Several local riders who have
been doing well all summer and ;
fall, will compete.
Speaking of motocross, Doug
Cowell of Jacksonville won two
class first places last weekend
at Dundee. It was the Dundee
track's last event of the season, ,
and it was a first for Doug. ,
Winning two classes on a single
day of motocrossing is quite a
feat.
Doug took a first in the 175 cc
expert, riding a Honda, and
then came back on a Huskie to
win the 250 cc expert.
Other Ithaca area riders who ,
did well included George
Sheldrake, who took a second in
the 125 cc expert and a third in
the 250 cc expert; Bill `
Iampman'who took a fourth in
the 125 cc expert and a second '
in the 250 cc expert; Dan Fish,
who took a second in the open
expert; and Phil Auble, who
took a fust in the 125 cc novice
on his Yamaha.
