Sisemore Cops Main A s h 1 a n d Elmer Sisemore, M-46, made it two in a row at the Ashland Speedway Satur day night as he rolled to a main event victory in a race which saw but 12 of the 22 starters fin ished. Both the semi-main and main events were wild affairs, produc ing spectacular spinouts, crash es, lost wheels, flat tires and one complete roll by Frank Jordan in P-97. Sisemore grabbed the main event lead from Len Johnson, A-15, midway in the race and later staved off the persistant challenges of Bernie Miller, M 86, to score his second triumph in as many weeks. Miller was second and Cecil James, M-9, moved up late in the race to take third. A Klamath Falls driver, George Smith, K-76, scored an upset triumph in the semi-main event in another hectic affair. It was a close battle all the way with Bob Wilcox, M-ll, Foster Sever, A-45 and Bob Jenkins, M-22 trailing Smith in that order. Jack McCoy, A-2, who again spun out during the main event, grabbed the trophy dash in a thrilling last lap duel with Fred dy Fredericks, A-101. Freder icks, who was in his first dash of the season, held the lead most of the way but finally lost out to the pressing McCoy in the north turn. Chuck Zarka, A-100, was third. An eight-car destruction derby found Joe Wolfe in a Lincoln Zephyr, still moving after all others had stopped. Other winners were: First heat, Joe Ellison, A-24; third heat, Zarka; fourth heat, Roy Deutchman, M-71; final heat, Billy Rosenheim, A-0 and conso lation, Jack Lively, K-97. WHAT IS THE PRICE PONTIAC? S23S)300 Delivered In Medford Jack McCoy Places First In 3 Races Jack McCoy kept up bis repu tation as one of southern Ore gon's most capable hardtop auto skippers with three firsts and a second Friday night in .races at the Jackson county speedway. McCoy won the main event, the trophy dash and the fourth heat. He was second in the spec ial event matching trophy dash winners and drivers that have turned in the fast times in the pre-race trials this season. The special run was captured by Johnny Wyncoop who was second to McCoy in the main. Wyncoop topped a field of seven drivers. Two spectacular mishaps slowed down the main event. In one, three cars piled up and in the other a racer jumped the fence. Joe Ellison in A-24, Bob Radke A-21 and Neil Wooldridge in R 25 slammed into each other in front of the stands. None of the three was hurt but two trucks were needed to pull the cars apart. Over and Out Floyd McClanahan also escap ed injury when his M-S7 flew over the fence on the east turn. The car rolled but landed up right. McClanahan drove it back to the pit gates where he was forced to sit out the remainder of the race. Track officials said they hop ed the incident ended a cycle of over the fence mishaps. Roy Deutschman and Jack Milhoan in previous weeks hurtled the fence. Three-car collision also mar red the semi-main event. Stub Fry in PU, Don Wolfe in A-38, and Bert Smith in M-23 tangled fenders, but avoided serious injury. Bernie Miller, who won last week's main event, was forced out of effective competition when he broke an axle. Bob Jenkins suffered the same misfortune. ejeaBBBeBBaasss RACK RESULTS: Main event Jack McCoy, Johnny Wyncoop. Elmer Sisemore. Bill Rosen balm. Semi-main Lou Kun, Ken Welch, Stub Fry. Bob Jenkins.
