Kasson, Minn. (July 3, 1986) – Rick Egersdorf, from North St. Paul, led wire-to-wire, holding off several serious challenges from Lance Matthees of Winona to win the 50-lap main event in the annual Thunderbird Open at Dodge County Fairgrounds.
Egersdorf took the lead at the drop of the green flag, but it took Matthees only a few laps to move into second and start challenging Egersdorf.
Matthees gave Egersdorf all he could handle, and actually got by Egersdorf momentarily, but couldn’t make the pass stick.
Egersdorf took home $1,500 for the win plus another $500 in lap money for leading the entire way.
Egersdorf also won his heat race while Ron Schriener of Eleva, Wis., was the other heat winner. Terry Lanphear of St. Paul won the consolation.
In preliminary action, Darrell Zweifel of Rochester held off Dave Tradup of Elgin to win his first hobby stock feature of the season.
Results –
1. Rick Egersdorf, North St. Paul
2. Lance Matthees, Winona
3. Pete Parker, Kaukauna, Wis.
4. Jim Bruggeman, White Bear Lake
5. Tom Steuding, Altoona, Wis.
6. Dick Collins, Bloomington
7. Jeff Hinkemeyer, St. Cloud
