TexasMX Championship Round Three Cyclerama By Greg Labbe SAN ANTONIO , TEX.,JULY 4 San Antonio's Cyclerama was the host for the third round of the Texas Championship Motocross Series this past Sunday, and Kent Howerton returned home to strap it on a bevy of talen ted Open Expert riders. The well prepared and well organized Cyclerama- track was hosting what woul d have been th e m ost sm oothly and profession ally run of any series race to date, but Mother Nature had it her way in the m id st of the second set of m o tos , cutting the day's raci ng short with a torren tial downpou r. is Co m pet ition in the classes beginning to boil down to th e fastest and m ost consisten t few who will have a sh ot at that coveted state title. After to day, just two more races to gO t and the competition becomes more torrid each week. The Open Expert class was a contest only to the second tu m . Roger Bro wn zipped his Yamaha th ro u gh the firs t tu m in th e lead, u t as he se t up wid e for the ' second tum, National No. 3 ' Ke n t Howerton went inside, threw a magnificent block pass on Roger. , and was go ne . Nobody got anywhere close to Kent or his factory Husky practice bike all moto long. Even though he slowed co nsid era bly on the final two laps, he was still 25 seconds ahead of second place Ricky Kidd. Kidd, on a big bore Penton, got by Roger on lap four and put a big gap between himself and third place. With a little over a lap to go, Randall Tarter shot past Roger Brown, but just as the white flag came into view, Tarter's big Suzook seized hard, leav ing Brown third overall. TIm Riddle was fourth on a Husky and Ricky Blackwell from Austin was fifth on a Husky. It was a shame that rain had to interrupt Cyclerama's fine program, but the decision to stop the racing, based on the fact that proper medical aid would be unavail ab le to ride rs on some back sections of t he track, was a proper decisio n on the part of tra c k owner Walt Sandifer. When his posit io n had been explai ne d, almost everyone int elli gen tly dispersed to prepare fo r the lon g journey home. Unfortu nately , a small ban d o f lou d-mouth ed rabble stayed on to harass th e prom oter and his staff. T here we re abo ut 30 of them, mostly parents who had been drinking, and their unseemly, churlish display, which went on for almost an hour. was sad to behold. As Ro b Rey nolds accurately noted, it looked like a crowd sce ne from All-Star Wrestling . • Results in Res ults Section .
