Thla prov.. thet you don't heve to look trick end "ncy to lead.
course, no surprise that he took
the 250cc Expert class with very little
challenge.
RWIlIeIl Ragen of Corpus Christi
edged Wise out for the holeshot at the
start of mota one, but no doubt feeling
the pressure from behind, Ragen had
a meeting with a tree and was out for
the day. Wise then treated the fans to
a fine display of speed and grace.
In the second mota, Wise sat back
and let the pack kick and bump
through the fint tum, then gave the
crowd lessons in passing. With Royce
Danner in the lead, Wise was closing
in on Jimmy Sandvig on the long sand
straightaway to take second when suddenly he went down, giving Sandvig
one more lap before Wise could say,
"follow me."
Meanwhile, Danner could hardly
believe he had not seen Mr. Wise for
five laps. Just when he began to think
maybe he could hold on, Wise decided
it was time to get down to business and
left Danner behind. South Texas race
fans appreciated Steve taking time out
from a busy schedule to race with the
home folks and hope he will soon be
back in top form.
Jack Homer aboard a Honda CR80
was able to steal some of Wise's thunder
by his outstanding riding. As usual, he
easily won the Senior Mini class, but
the real show was in the ll!5cc Novice
class. Paul Pedenon had the holeshot
in both matos, but was only able to
hold on for half the race each time as
Mike Gesell from Brownsville stayed
stuck to his back fender waiting for his
chance which came midway in both
motos.
In the meantime, Homer was giving
the rest of the field a fit and finished
fifth in the fint moto. Jackie, who is
not used to being behind, took second
behind Pedenon at the start of moto
two. When Pedenon faltered, Gesell
slipped by Homer to take fint, and
Jackie had to be content with second
for the moto and overall, leaving the
rest of the riden wondering what he
could have done on a 125 instead'of an
80.
A large group of riden from
Monterrey,
Mexico made . their
presence known by placing in several
classes.
Next scheduled races will be held
July 19.
