La Crosse Interstate Speedway promoter Larry Wehrs presents Oktoberfest champion Larry Detjens with his trophy.
Detjens grabbed the lead from pole-sitter Dave Watson on the
24th circuit around the half-mile paved oval and was never headed
the rest of the way.
Joe Shear got around Watson, the Rockford National Short Track
champion, on lap 57 to take over second after a spirited duel that went on for
30 laps. By this time, however, Detjens had increased his margin to a half a
lap, which Shear could not make up.
Trailing Watson, who wound up finishing third, was Dick
Trickle, John Ziegler, Tom Reffner, Doug Strasburg, Jerry Eckhardt, Mark
Lamoreaux, and Jim Back.
Shear captured the afternoon’s first 50-lap qualifying race
over Watson, Reffner, Bob Carnes and Bob Gunn, who turned his car over to Dick
Trickle for the 100-lapper.
The second 50-lap qualifier was won by Detjens who beat
Ziegler, Bill Oas, Strasburg and Mike Miller.
Steve Arndt won the semi-main with Don Turner taking the
consolation.
Reffner set a new track record 20.292 seconds during
Saturday night’s action. Reffner also won the 20-lap Race of Champions over
Watson, Detjens, Shear and Ziegler. The fast heats went to Reffner and Ziegler
with the qualifying heats going to Bob Jusola, Arndt, and Pat Griffin. Dick
Partington won the hobby stock main event.
Pete Mahlum won the La
