The 16th annual Vintage Outlaw Motorcycle Races provide some of the best flat track racing in Southern California.

Ventura Raceway hosted the show on Saturday night featuring Speedway and a variety of racing classes.

The night ended with a 15-lap Hot Rod Jalopy feature. Shafter's Robert Tucker won the race over Brad Peshack of San Bernardino.

Jimmy Wood captured the 450 professional main event, earning $5,000 and showing off his National No. 37 plate.

Wood, 22, of Redlands has become one of the best flat track racers in the nation.

In the Speedway final, Jim Fishback was the winner against a fast and talented field. Eddie Castro was second. Charlie Venegas, a former national champion, was third, and Phil Collins was fourth.

Speedway racing, a popular Tuesday night attraction at the Ventura County Fairgrounds in the 1970s and 1980s, returns to Victorville on July 12, while the City of Industry and Costa Mesa (Orange County Fairgrounds) host shows.

In the Chopper/Hooligan race, Kenny Malaguannero of Hesperia took the early lead and held off the challenges of Joe Pap and Rick Flynstone Stecyk.

Steve Hill was victorious over Al Steele in the Open Amateur feature.

Acton's Anthony Dodge won the Kids' 80cc race.

Joe Jones and Jimmy Olsen captured the New Zealand Sidecars feature.

Dave Alexander of Thousand Oaks and Matt Davis of Riverside were another top Sidecars team in the racing action.

The racers raised more than $4,300 to help the Anthony Pedeferri fund. Pedeferri of the California Highway Patrol was paralyzed last December while injured performing a traffic stop on Highway 101 in La Conchita. Pedeferri is a Camarillo resident.

There were plenty of celebrities on hand to watch the vintage racing.

Mert Lawwill, the 1969 AMA Grand National champion, was joined by Gene Romero, a former Daytona 200 champion and 1970 Grand National champion, and Skip Van Leeuwen, a five-time national TT champion.

Bruce Brown was in the limelight at Ventura Raceway. He produced the classic motorcycle movie "On Any Sunday" in 1971, documenting Lawwill's national championship season.

Keith Mashburn, a road racing sensation, interviewed several of the celebrities during the races.
