WriKId ....ht at SpurGP By Cindy Brooks SPUR, TX, OCT. 17 The eighth annual Spur Grand Prix would not be denied its running by Texas floods as Saturday skies turned sunny with temperatures in the 70s. The course itself was perfect with its moist din and two creek crouings which made spectating fun and eventful. This year's course was lengthened to include about 2.5 miles of din and one mile of pavement. One group of riders proved partic. ularly dominant this year. Four riders from the Texas Croll Country Raeen Association, including Dana Wright, Billy Smith. Mike Connell and Bruce Hallmark, showed very quickly what the "P" prefix on their side panels stood for - Pros! The Croll country circuit they compete in consists of 16 50-mile races and proved to be invaluable to their preparation as they decisively stonned around the Spur layout. Smith and Wright quickly took tbe lead on lap one with Wright passing Smith near the end of lap one. never to relinquish his spot. Meanwhile, Connell and Hallmark were mired in mid·pack traffic that beld them bottled for a couple of lapll. Hallmark soon kicked his 490 Maico into hyper· space and, in two lapll, found himself in second and closing on Wright. His awesome charge was soon over. though, as his Maico refused to shift at about the 45-minute mark. During this time. Mike Connell had moved into foonh and was carving his 4!10 Huslr.y around the track hot on the heels of Cary Johnlon's 465 Yamaha. Johnson pitted near the midpoint of the race and Connell poweied into third where be stayed for tbe remainder of the race. johnlon Ieent~ tbe fray and moved back to founh by the Oag. At the end of the two-hour race, it was Wright with a comfonable lead followed by Billy Smith who turned in a liquid-smooth ride on his 450 Honda. Connell came .through 50 seconds later for third overall. Tommy Barber turned in an impressive ride on his Can·Am to win tbe 250cc class ahead of Gary Tucker, aBo on a CanAm. Tucker and his brother Neil teamed up with Tracy Womack to win the team honors. Results OVERALL: 1. 0InI Wright !Yaml. OPEN: 1. BIIy Smith lHon); 2. Mike Connell (Hull; 3. Gory Johnson (Y1m). 260: 1.
