Harlingen Motocrosa Association. The
Mini Senior and l00cc cla.ues were
dominated by Darin Williams of Robstown. Jackie Homer of Pharr had to
settle for second this month. As always
the Over !I0/Enduro class provided
lots of thrills and spills, but Jake
Warren from Corpus Christi aboard a
brand new water-cooled Suzuki was
first.
In the 250/0pen Novice class,
Alben Alaniz of McAllen watched first
place slip away as he went down a few
feet from the checkered flag allowing
Billy Bruton of Harlingen to get by
after a see-saw battle through the
entire race. Rodney Danner of
Combes took fIrSt overall in the 250cc
Expen class. Larry Hughes of Brownsville had to settle for second. After a
bad fall in the first moto, he was able
to come back and win the second
moto.
One of the more interesting races of
the day was the combined 125cc Inter·
mediate/Expen race. Jamie Killion of
Kingsville took the Expen class
although Floyd Robbins kept the
pressure on.
The Intermediate class staned out
close, but a freak accident changed
that. As Walter Bode and Joel Stone
were fighting for position. Stone's foot
became wedged between the wheel
and swingann of Bode's bike.
Fonunately, Stone was not injured,
but it took most of the race to dismantle Bode's bike to free Stone's foot.
It just wasn't Bode's day as he went
out in the second moto with
mechanical rroblems. Meanwhile,
Leslie Elsik 0 Kingsville was able to
take first from Royce Danner of
Combes. Frank Man III of Harlingen
took first in the 125cc Novice class
followed by Lee Uribe of Brownsville.
Races are held every third Sunday at
Arroyo Motocross Park, but the March
race is rescheduled for March 29, due
to the GNC Supercerosa in Houston.
Also. hare scrambles will be held at
Arroyo MX Park on March 22.
