New season getting underway at Sunset Speedway Saturday, May 6, is opening day for the fourth year of Mike McCann’s operation of Sunset Speedway in Banks, and a smorgasbord of events will be offered at the quarter-mile clay bullring to satisfy the appetites of racing fans. After ending the 1999 sea son with an exciting non-wing sprint car event, the wingless wars will resume for the speed way’s opener. Mahema’s Tony Shoulder-to-shoulder Thomas is a favorite, along with Newberg’s Vince McDon nell. Chesire’s Ty Mayden, the 1999 defending track champi on, had the hot streak of the season with three consecutive wins early in the season, but provided the crowd with spec tacular moves riding the high side in the wingless affair. The popular Street Stocks will again be the main class at the well-groomed oval. From a V H S g irls g o lf From page Page 8 From page 1 many people were chanting, “Go Laura Harmon.” With 200 meters to go, Laura picked up the pace; so did Maryänne. With 40 meters to go, they were shoulder-to-shoulder at full speed. Then, somehow, Maryänne found enough strength to pull ahead and, for the first time ever, Vernonia has a runner who has beaten every state champion. Mary änne finished in 4:39.5; Laura’s time was 4:39.6. Maryanne’s carriage didn’t turn into a pumpkin and she’s not going to spend the rest of her life wondering if she could have done it. She achieved her dream. nonia girls finished with 310.
