It may h ave been April Fool's
Day Frid ay ni ght , b ut there was
no fool ing arou n d with t he way
Goat Brck er and Man y Mill er
were racin g . They were dead ser ious.
Marty did not get his usu al jump off
th e line in th e 125 Pro te lass a nd was
way ba ck in th e pa ck . J ohn Gless had
th e lead and look ed like he was g() i n~
to' pu ll it off. On th e last lap Miller
came flying off the h illside . closed on
Gless and almost go t by on the back
infield straight. A bobble almost cost
hi m th e ba llgame and it loo ked as if
Gless was going to be ab le to put it
awa y. He forgot what a fighter Miller
is as he closed up the gap. When they
hit th e final turn, Miller got a wheel
under Gless and came out of the turn
dead even with him as they went over
the j~mp' •anf , .r~.~e? ,. 9 les\' ,al , ,~~e

ch eckered by th e width of a front tire.
Dou g Lin coln finished third . T he
second and fina l mota was a no
nonsense race with Miller taking the
lea d off the line a nd go ing the
dis ta nce . C less was agai n seco nd an d
Linc oln thi rd.
T he 500 and 250 Pros were
combined in t he same class and
a lthough they were scored separately
the stage was set for a co nfrontation
between Goat Breker a nd Miller. Goat
has traded his Kawasa ki for a KTM
and has picked up a nother sponsor.
Along with Da llas Ba ker he is a lso a
mem ber of T eam No rStar and it 1001<5
like it may p ro V to be a profitable
l"
relationshi p for all . T he first mot a saw
Goat in his usual posit ion . up from
a nd go ing aw ay. Runnin g away fro m
his cla ss, Miller was right behind Goat
so each had th e win in th eir respective
clas ses but the stage had been set for
the duel they knew wou ld ta ke place in
the second .and final go. The
spectators were not disappointed as 'it
was Miller off on top with Goat several
p lac es back. It didn't take Goat lon g to
be in th e second spo t and then he went
hunting. Miller was not about to make
it eas y for him as they took the battle
through the hills, a ro und the infield
and back int the hills again . They were
about four laps down when th e
mistake ca me . Goat was pressing
Mille r at the first uphill turn wh ich
ca used Marty to add an extra hump to
the course. It was enough for Goat to
ca pita lize on , a nd he did , taking the
Iead and going for the win .
Both won their classes with Dave
Miller and Kelly Callaway second and
th ird to Goat and Scott Gilman a a
Dean Wilkinson home behind Miller.
