AMCA Wauseon National Half Mile and Speedway Long Track National Championship July 16, 2010 Wauseon, Ohio – Fulton County Fairgrounds Present by the Bike Days Motorcycle Club By Max Action Board Track, Classic Flat Track and Speedway Long Track Racing thrill and amaze all in action-to-the-max AMCA National Motorcycle Races at the Wauseon, Ohio Fulton County Fairgrounds, July 16, 2010! The racers arrived at the beautiful fairgrounds before practice (2 pm) on a warm and sunny day.  The crushed limestone track was as smooth as glass, and as practice started, everyone could see we were in for some great racing action today. The opening ceremony started at 6:30 pm with a parade lap by the Motor Maids, followed by the 2010 Wauseon National Grand Marshal Dick Klamfoth.   Paul Bailey did a great job singing the National Anthem, and then the Main Event Races everyone had come for began.  Linda Blum #98 of Schaumburg, IL fought tooth and nail in the 165 Lightweight Class (which she won in 2008) to beat Alan Lyons #65 (last year’s winner) from Springfield, IL and Craig Breckon #77 out of Sparta, Michigan took third place, all on Harley Davidson’s.  What a rivalry! Next came the Brakeless 250 Class in which Carl Fonkey #19f from New  Castle, PA  won on a Harley Davidson.  John Bova #35 aboard a Bultaco of Wadsworth, Ohio took second; and Johnny Isaacs #10g out of Britow, OK on a Triumph captured third. In the Board Track Race Carl Estes #652 of Loveland, Ohio won; Pat Murphy #1 of Marcellus, NY got second; and Mike Longoria #151 ended up third.  All mounted on Harley Davidson’s. Then the “big iron” Brakeless 500 Class lined up.  The Atherton Family of great Michigan Motorcycle Racing competitors showed Gene #28 racing out of Constantine, MI and Ronnie #81 from White Pigeon, MI took first and third.  Doug Horner #53h of Gates Mills, nailed down second; they all were riding Triumphs. The Speedway “B” Main had Chris Hathaway #82 from Syracuse, IN come out victorious; Mike Callen #33e of Galesburg, MI was second; and Kevin Sexton #60f out of Elyria, OH ended up third. When the Vintage 250/360 came to the starting line, there was a lot of tough competition.  Tom Morgan #91f of Niles, Ohio on a Kawasaki (who was second in 2009 and won the Vintage 600 Class in 2009); John Tejchma #16x from Muskegon, MI atop a Yamaha; Dave Grieder #0 riding out of Morenci, MI on a Honda and Justin Thomas #57 of Manitou Beach, MI on a Can Am who all finished their heats in top positions.  From the start, it was a fight for top positions, but Tom and John separated from the pack into the lead, and they crossed the finish line in the order listed.  Baber #27, Kennedy #54k, Kretz #286 and the rest of the pack didn’t fair as good in the Main Event as in their Heats. Pro Singles through 1980 saw Tom Morgan #91f atop a Honda win again Tom Englehart #43f of Zanesville, Ohio on a Honda also took second; and Nathan Long #15 from Rosewood, Ohio riding a Yamaha captured the third position.  Issacs #10g, Johnson #31 and Baker #77b (all on Yamaha’s) had to settle for third, fourth and fifth position. As the Vintage Open “hotshoes” lined up, you could feel the friction in the air, on this hot (90 degree) July summer day, it seemed like a bomb was going to blow off.  In one of the Open Heat Races, a rider went down in the middle of the pack in turn 1 and up ended the class a little.  Baber #27, Mayer #91x and John Kolenda #15 weren’t able to make the Main.  When the light flashed green Eric Kolenda #15x from Grand Rapids, MI on a Harley Davidson exploded into the lead.  He had won his heat race and showed it was no flook by beating Aaron Long #15 (second) out of Findlay, Ohio and Tedd Smith #40 (third) from Delta, Ohio both on Yamahas.  Swander #67), Rich Long #14 and the rest of the pack followed them across the finish line. In the Pro 80’s Singles thru ’89 Class, Nick Evans #44f of Galion, Ohio atop a Rotax won his heat and the Main.  Troy Johnson #31 from Marion, WI also on a Rotax won his heat, but had to settle for second in the main.  Tom Englehart #43f nailed down third, Nathan Long #14 was fourth, and Lee Johnson #66k ended up fifth.  Bolenbaugh #47b and Haas #75 DNS (did not start). Jeff Orosz #1, all the way from Caistorville, Ontario won the Speedway A Main and in so doing, captured the National Long Track Chamionship again.  Warren Diem #31 of Gap,PA took second and Dan Weicht #30 out of North Webster, Indiana got the third position. The “old iron” Hand Shift Class came to the line; 8 or 9 good old antique American Motorcycles; but before the green light could flash, Carl Temple’s Indian #58 burst into flames.  He got off the burning bike as track crew members and Mike Callen with a chemical fire extinguisher put it out.  There was some close action but when it was over, Doug Horner #53h from Gates Mills, OH on an Indian crossed the finish line first (as he did in 2008); Dennis Clark #93 of Kettering, OH aboard a Harley Davidson was second and Brent Johnson #53 out of Lima, Ohio and Matt Weaver #60 from Coshocton, Ohio both on Indian’s took third and fourth (the same positions as their heat race).  The rest of the riders followed them. The Pro Twins thru 1983 had many Michigan riders that are well known.  Sparks #27S, Bannerman #88b, Kennedy #54k, Speaker #41s and May #55m, Merlyn Wertz #93  and of course Eric Kolenda #15x; but they didn’t dominate the class.  Jack Warren #82 hailing from Millington, MI and Danny Vrana #88 of Random Lake, WI both on Triumphs captured first and second as they did in their heat races.  Eric Kolenda #15x secured third and Justin Zeigler #89f out of Frederickstown, Ohio atop a Triumph took fourth. The track crew kept the track in great shape; the officials and scorekeepers made the racers stay righteous and everything running smooth; and the racers thrilled and amazed everyone who was lucky enough to be there for another year of spectacular Vintage Motorcycle Racing at the wonderful Fulton County Fairgrounds in Wauseon, Ohio.  My hat is off to Scott Brown (the Promoter), the Bike Days Motorcycle Club and all the racers for putting on the greatest race we’ve seen this year. The 2011 Wauseon National Antique Motorcycle Races will be on Friday, July 15.  Three time Daytona Winner and 2010 Wauseon National Grand Marshal Dick Klamfoth helps out with the raffle and pulls the winning ticket. Start of the "Hand Shift, Foot Clutch" Race at Wauseon.
