San Diego Roundup : Ted Kallos Memorial Will Be Run at Cajon Speedway

The 10th annual Ted Kallos Memorial will be held Saturday at Cajon Speedway. Kallos, a longtime member of the El Cajon Stock Car Racing Assn., was killed on the final night of the 1977 racing season.

Kallos is the only driver to be killed in the track’s 27 years.

A 40-lap main event for super stocks will highlight the evening. Other races will be held in the sportsman, street and bomber stock divisions, all of which are 20-lap races.

Mark Norris of Lakeside, the 1985 track champion, is the defending Kallos Memorial champion. He is second in the NASCAR Winston Racing Series points at the track, six points behind Ron Brown of San Diego. Qualifying starts at 6 p.m., with racing at 7:30 p.m.

The San Diego Nomads Western Soccer Alliance team has a possible playoff spot riding on its game with F.C. Portland tonight at Southwestern College at 7:30.

This will be the regular-season finale for the Nomads (5-4, 25 points) who are third in the WSA. Portland (5-3, 23 points) is fourth in league standings with two matches to play.

If the Nomads get a maximum-point win (six points; three points for a win, one point for every goal up to three) they will play host to a playoff game in two weeks. If they win, but get fewer than six points, they will play a playoff game at San Jose or Seattle. If Portland wins, it could possibly win the WSA, depending on its outcome Saturday night against Los Angeles.

The Nomads will be led by Lucas Martin of La Jolla and Marcelo Balboa, both of whom are members of the U.S. national youth team that will play in the World Cup in Chile in October.

Sunday night, the Nomads will play an international exhibition match against Hearts of Scotland, one of the top teams there. The match will be at Southwestern College at 6 p.m.

Some of the top runners in the world will compete in the Fourth Annual Buick 10K on May 31 in downtown San Diego.

Eamonn Coghlan, the indoor mile world-record holder, will be among the runners competing for the $5,000 first prize from a total purse of $25,600.

Others expected to compete are Kenyans Peter Koech, Yobes Ondieki, Sam Sitonik and Leodgard Martin. Sitonik is the world-record holder in the half marathon. Koech and Ondieki were second and third, respectively, in last year’s race.

Allison Roe will head the women’s field. Roe set a world record in 2 hours 25 minutes 28 seconds in the 1981 New York Marathon.

Entry forms are available at all San Diego County Buick Dealers and Ralphs markets. For more information, call 483-9501.
