Hampered by engine problems in the top fuel final, McClenathan completed the quarter-mile in 5.181 seconds and was credited with a speed of 250.34 m.p.h. in losing to Joe Amato of Old Forge, Pa. (5.015).

In the Funny Car division final, Worsham, the defending champion, lost to Chuck Etchells of Putnam, Conn.

Katrina Adams of the Newport Beach Dukes will have surgery Tuesday in Houston and probably will miss the rest of the TeamTennis season, the Dukes announced Sunday.

Adams has been receiving treatment for a non-injury related problem since the French Open and doctors had believed that the treatment had contained the problem enough to allow her to continue playing tennis. However, tests taken after Wimbledon showed immediate surgery was necessary.

Dukes owner Fred Lieberman said Adams isn’t expected to be able to play before the season ends Aug. 2.

Lise Gregory is expected to be named to be a permanent replacement for Adams.

Driver Ross Millar and passenger Pale Leeder of Redlands won the Speedway Sidecar four-lap main event in front of 6,230 at the Orange County Fairgrounds.

Dean Steel and passenger Dwayne King of Anaheim were second, and Kenny McInture and Mickey Faust of Corona were third.

Angela Hale, 15, from Elsinore, won the four-lap junior main speedway event. Ryan Fisher of Riverside won the second division junior main event.

A junior tennis team from Australia defeated a team from the United States to win the Pepsi Challenge Cup at Nellie Gail Ranch Tennis Club in Laguna Hills.

The Australians clinched the victory after the singles matches Sunday, taking an insurmountable, 64-44, lead.
