Jaclc McCoy Wins Main At Ashland Ashland Although no first places came their way, Medford boys held their own staunchly Saturday night at the Ashland Rodeo grounds hard top races, collecting 15 money places. Competition was especially fierce in the big program, which aw the pits jammed with 47 entries and a number of late ar rivals left back-firing outside the pit gates. Dick Imhausen, Medford, turned in the fastest time trial lap, 26.7, on the track which had been heavily soaked to reduce dust. Bob Kodat scored second In his heat. Lehman, Hukill and , Casey picked up fourth, sixth and seventh in the rowdy main event that saw only 8 cars sur vive out of the 23 which started the 20 laps. Bob Eadke pulled a fourth in the semi-main, be ing one of eight survivors in that 18-car event. McCoy Nabs Main Jack McCoy, Klamath Falls, swept firsts in both semi and main events for top money of the evening. Ted McCoy, Cen tral Point, took his heat, then out-fought Dick Mills, Grants Pass, for the hot trophy dash, to win the Rogue shop trophy.

Just as he crossed the line end ing his eleventh lap he lost a front wheel and spun into the pits. Don Trombley, driving old A-l under his own number, A-22, also lost a front wheel, and in doing so turned in one of the most spectacular spills. His nose dropped, dug in and flipped him end over end. Much of the night's action took place directly in front of the crowded stands, with the crash wall taking another beat ing. With pressure on for a big mirs some rather reckless driv ing strewed the track with dere licts, but only one "rough tac tics" disqualification was ruled.
