Brizendine, McDow return to action at Austin MX By Joe Milian AU Tl ,TX, NOV. 18 o werewolve were spotted tonight at Austin MoLO Sport Park but it was obvious from the framic activity on the track and in the pits that a full moon was out. . Racing was made somewhat livelier by the appearance of Tommy McDow and Trey Brizendine, two riders who have not graced the proceedings with their presence for some time. Both made a successful re-entry into the mainstream of Cen-Tex mOLOcross, as McDow vanquished Bob Goldade and Smokey Joe in the Over 30 clash, and Brizendine beal back David Rauser and Tony Seguar in hotly contested 250cc Novice competition. Segura,. who came lO spectate, managed LO borrow riding gear when Kasson Yamaha Racing Team's James Nicholson offered the use of h is YZ250 after lweaking his knee in practice. Thus Segura, who has considerable racing experience in Mexico, found himself on the gate without the benefit of even one warmup lap. ''The first moLO was my practice," Segura stated. "1 just followed everybody until 1 discovered the turns of the course." He did just thal for the first two laps. running next-LO-last until he got his bearings. By this time Brizendine and Bauser had separated themselves from the re t of the field. Rauser stayed within striking distance of Brizendine until the last lap when he struck a tire lhal had been inad· vertently rolled onto Lhe lrack. Segura gOl by Andy Thompson and Ralph Rust to move up LO third at the flag. The second moLO belonged totally LO Brizendine as he LOok the holeshol and disappeared. Segura got a poor starl and then collided wilh Deno Fanner in the second turn, pUlling him back toeighth place. Bauserand Thompson both went up and over the giant berm at the end of the secondary slraightaway and in their haste LO return LO the fray, slammed into one another and wenl down again. Bauser got the best of that encounter, losing only one position while Thompson was unable LO make his bike start and retired.. Meanwhile egura had moved into third place and closed rapidly on Bauser. Their duel put them past Rust with a lap remaining and Bauser held off the challenge LO place inches ahead of the Mexican visitor at the flag. Results MINI JR: 1. Jason Miller (Han); 2.

Jones, Martin bang bars at Hepler MX By Sharon Jones HEPLER, KS, OV. 13 While many riders opted LO run the GNC regional motocross in Ponca City, a small clan of riders headed for the roll ing hills of Hepler. Although there were many runaway winners throughout the day, the 250cc Expert class was a spectaLOr's delight. Honda-mounted Doug Martin and Brad Jones went around the first corner side by side, with Jones barely squeezing by for the lead. Martin forgot aboul a track change and went the long way around. Ed Geisalman took over second. On the third lap, Jones slight lead over Geisalman was spoiled when he fell in an off-camber turn. While going around the fallen Honda, Geisalman dropped his Kaw. Martin, who had been third, now found himself in first. Bill Williams also got by the pile up to take over second until he also fell a few turns later. While Williams was remOUI1ling, Jones went by for second. By the end of the moLO, Martin had PUl a huge lead on the pack. But the show wasn't over yet. As Martin raced down thefinish line straight hegot extremely out of shape. Spectators mn for lheir Iives as the checkered flag dropped and Martin leapt 0[[ the finish drop-off in a flying W,landing in a heap! Martin walked away unhurt with the first moto win. Between moLOS Kawasaki pilot Ed Geisalman was distressed over his first-moLO run and vowed to win the final. He proceeded LO take the holeshot and put several bikelengths on econd-place Jones. Unfortunately, his bike developed a flat front tire and Jones was knocking at the door. Jones fell in an attempted pass, letting Martin by. A..kw turns later, Jones repassed Martin, then Geisalman.
