Matz magnificent
at Arroyo MX
By Linda Matz
HARLINGEN, TX, NOV. 15
Frank Matz scored an easy first
place in the 250-0pen Novice
class today at the Harlingen Motocross Association-sponsored
motocross races at Arroyo MX Park.
Matz took the holeshot in both mot05
and was n~er challenged.
There was plenty of action back in
the pack, though. Albert Alaniz on a
CR250 was forced to ride a near flawless race as Mike Maley on a Honda
XR200 kept the pressure on. Lacking
horsepower in the long sand straightaway, Maley would catch up and at'
tempt to paIS in the tigh~er sections,
but Alaniz met every chaIl~. Fmally,
on the white flag lap, Maley went
down and dropped to fourth place.
Moto two, Alaniz failed to start, but
Maley found himself once again chasing a Honda CR250. This time it was
Mike Meyer holding Maley off. Meyer
had crashed on the start of moto one
and finished fifth, but by holding
Maley off, he ended the day with a
second overall.
The most intense racing was once
again found in the 125cc Novice class
with Tom Hamilton and Lee Uribe
showing the fans what racing should
be. There was usually less tllan a bike·
length's difference between' them in
both motos. Once again, Hamilton
came out on top. A short distance
back, Buddy Rowland and Mike Gesell
were also locked in a dog fight for
third place. With several lead changes
in both mot05, Rowland was across the
finish line just ahead of Gesell to take
third for the day.
Moto one of the Senior Mini class
saw Jackie Homer out to an early lead
which he quickly stretched out before
the gremlins once again put his bike
out for the day. Meanwhile, Mark
Myatt and Blayne Rowland were dic-'
ing for second spot with Myatt ahead
at the finish.
.
Moto two belonged to T.R. Brons
who took the holeshot and held on
with Myatt and Rowland replaying the
first round with the same end result al·
lowing Myatt a first for the day.
