At ti mes, Todd found the better lines to ca mp on Firestine's rear circular. Then , just when it appeared that Todd would pass , Firestine would squirt ahead to a safer d ist an ce . Mea nwhile , Craig and Loeffler were doing battle in ab o ut the mi ddle of t he pack. Firesti ne pulled up a little on Rice, b ut that was t he order fo r t he first m oto. The second mota saw J ay Rice do it again off t he line. He h ad th e lead and . held it while Todd and Firestine again did battle . Mike Meyer (H us) was t he story of the second mota . After a poor start, Meyer char ged t hro ugh the pack and passed some mighty important Rocky Mountain MXers to actually pass the likes of Todd and Fir estine to finish second behind Rice . What a ride ! It was Jay Rice, though, who was acclaimed number one this da y and well deserved it wa s for the young man from Aurora, Colorado. The Support race was the big bores. Open A class and so me pre t ty fancy riding was turned in by J. Saran off (Mai) with hands-off-the-handlebar techniq ues over the fast downhill jumps and all that. The event may have shaped up a bit more interestingly had Shane Cannon (Kaw) not lost a pipe just in to the first m o ta . Anyway, it was a Maic o day in Support as Saranoff did it alJ to pick up the Support win. • Results in Results Se ction . Waddell blasts Plattsmouth Hillclimb J By Diane Polley PLATI'SMOUTlI , NEB ., OCT. 10 The Cavaliers l\IC of Plattsmouth held their last climb of the year on their 230 foot hill. Fo r the 150 riders and all the spectators it was very successful. Up to ab out 120 feet th e h ill was fairly easy an d smooth b ut for the nex t 30 fee t it was nearly straigh t up and if th e rid er did not have enoug h sp ee d to carry him over this a rea it was all ove r fo r him . Seve ral bikes that u nl oad ed t he ir riders . in t his region roll ed all the way back down the h ill. At ti mes like this it becomes clear why mo st hi llcli mbers want a wo rkable kill or de ad man sw itch on t hei r bikes. It can really be valuable when t he engine is dead during its fall instead of ru nning wi de open. 111e lightweight classes ran on the left side of the hill , which was n o t quite as steep as the left. Mark Scholz on a 250 Bult aco set the fastest time on this side with 6 : 30 sec o nds ov er. This was his second win of the day. Mark was the only 125 to see the top of the hill when he worked his 125 RM Suzuki over in 8 :27 se conds. Quite a few of the riders had their bikes for sale, an indication that winter is on the way. Ron Roseburg on a 500 Yankee was one of these riders and he was su ccessfu l. By the time he cam e to the line for his second try the bike was sold a nd just to clinch the deal he captured third place with a time of 7 :.7 se co nds. The predict ion was th at th e big bikes would have to set a ti me in t h e five s to . have a shot at the to p time award . On the first try ne ar ly all th e 750 and Open class rider. had tried wh en Gary Waddell ca me to the line . Gary wo n the number · one p late at th e Nationa l in September and everyone was won de rin g what he wou ld do to t his hill . When t he dust h ad cleared he had stoppe d the clock at 5:9 se co nds in the Open class on a 800 Trium ph . Several of the riders suc h as Hen ry Polley on a 6 50 Triu mph from Texas seemed to have a good chance to catc h Gary but assorted crashes foiled their efforts.
