N CD en Bill Darby couldn't resist showing off for the crowd at Grand Prix Raceway. Jana takes Gran Prix Raceway Hare Scrambles By Robert Lisey CAN AL FULTON, OH, FEB. 28 Mike Reisinger looked virtually unbeatable as he ex ploded off the line on his 400 Maico at Gran Prix Raceway tod ay. W ithin two laps on the one and a quarter-mile track, Reisinger was passin g a nd lapping th e small-bore Hondas and Yamahas. Bu t Reisinger's competitive spirit and a brutally ro ught track combined to bring the Maico to a clanging stop. Foo t -deep frozen ruts remained from last week's race so suspension systems a nd frame m em bers ca me under terrific stress. Reisinger , with nearly a lap lead, refused to let off the gas a nd finally, over one particularly high jump, Reisin ger 's bike's rear sprocket bolts let loose , leavi ng him with plenty of power but no way to transmit it to the ground. At this point jeff jana, on a Honda 250 R , jumped into first pla ce and ca rried h is m omentum through to the ch eckered flag to carry home t he overall trophy. j ana' s overall win allowed Park Honda 's Rick Sch rader to move into the first slot in the 250cc class . This win , however , d id no t come easy as Schrader had to fight off determined cha rges by last week's winner Dan Potter . Pot ter could get right up to Schrader's exhaust pipe, but Potter just couldn't reach deep enough today to blast by. . Kevin Hillyard carried home his first gold pl aque in t he Modified Division on a new 250 Park Honda. H illyard moved up from the 200cc class and after putt ing - in an excellent ri de , discov ered t hat with equal horsepower and suspension , he act ually could keep right up with the leaders . The hardest and mos t inspired ride of the d ay undoubtably came from Kevin's father, Charlie Hillyard , a board Kevin 's discarded 200 Hond a . With no suspension, the ruts and jumps were treacherous as Charlie hung in tough for a sixth in the largest class of the day. For their efforts, this team received a · standing ovation from their fellow racers. Mike Pozeg a looked exceptionally fast as he drove his 175 Yamaha to first in his class and in the course defeated every 200 on the track also. The 125cc class featured a see -saw battle between George Fa wver and Len Arras. Fawver led for the major portion of the event , b ut he could never g ain any ground on Arras who had atta ched himself to Fawver 's rear fender. Fin ally when the r ace came dow n to the last few laps , Arras scooted by an d charged through the checkered flag in first. ATf Results OVERAll: 1. Jeff Ja ne (Hanl . 125: 1.
