August, the cutoff point in Expert was series tenth place and In term edia te seven th, and dire scrapping con tinued until the las t scooter died. In addition, Serie s organ izer John Kelley of Houston announced th at there would be overall Series . trophies through fif th p lace, wh ich we re n ot expected five weeks ago when th e Region als began. As expected, Lo uisi ana's w unde rkind Ben Theri o t sai led through all th ree 9 -11 year-o ld Expert divisions again at Rio , to cap a to tal domin an ce of h is classes by wide p oin ts marg ins, eve n downing Cal mini-pro 's Matt Whiting today and last week at Whitney. Also outstanding fro m the pack were Houston's Mike Dickey , Shane Sitton of Nacogdoches, and 10 year-old whiz Darin Eames of Mesquite. These boys ' pulled in Series seco nds an d t hirds in 83 stock, 83 mod , and 105 mod, but you can look for Bullet Ben out fronl at the NMA Nats at Springfield, Missouri. Some of the best spe cta t ing occurred during t he m ini-m in i 0-61 cc rounds, nol necessarily o f the racers, but of th e parents, who worked as hard, o r harder than their young ch arges. Middle-aged ladies hurdling logs and creekbeds. Papas scurrying everywhere, wrenches clanging in their pockets. Mini-moms fretting because Sonny is out of sight for a few seconds in a low-lying section. Bro th ers, sisters , aunts, and uncles frantically wa ving o n their racers, wearing cus to m p rinte d p it crew sh irts ide ntifying T uff Tony's this ' or Bad Bubba 's that. And Lord help those ru nning the meet if J unior didn ' t ge t an even bre ak. Less be lligerence is found in a lynch mo b . Through i t all , th ough , the 6-8 61 cc winners were Tray Ewers an d - Chad Par ker, while T uff T ony Sm ith blew awa y both 9-1 I classes, leading Series poin ts by "a mile. Fro m the be gin ning of the Reg ionals an d th rough th e five long, two day meets, it was al l too obvious to the rest of the 12 an d over Experts tha t numbe r 33 was t he man t o beat, 13 year-old Dere k Wedding o f Marshall , Te xas. An d probably no one has or will keep so m Yam'ahas runnin so fast with'so • little failure as papa J am es Wedding and crew. For sure, ' Derek had his stuff together on the track, not winning once in a while, bu t taking do uble or triple class victories from every meet, building a 30 or 40 point bulge at Series end in 83 stock, 83 mod, and 105 mod. Occasionally, othe r top riders wo u ld win a rnoto , b ut eve rybody seemed overly plagued with fall s and breakage , whil e the Marshall Masher kept on 'cr ossin g. More so than other classes, t he 12 + Experts ran races ..i!1 a tightly packed formation, making the star! critical, and any slip o r overrun corner costing d early. Als o going to the Nationals to rep resent the Region art: front-running qualifiers Johnny McGee of Bedford, Nederland's Kevin Jones, along with Dublin's Mark Loving and Houston riders Guy Welch and J erry Surber.
