said Lojak. the defending Grand National Hare Scrambles Champion . .. ) thought it was a drawing between the Open allCl 250cc classes. The traffic was prelly heavy. but it thinned out after the first lap." "Traffic jams" did prove to be a faclOr in the early going. Attheend of the first lap. 1983 Senior class champ Barry Higgins led the field. both physically and on corrected time. Melton was 24-seconds back. with 200cc A rider SlOney Mitchell third overall. Martin was fourth. but bv the end of lap two he was one se~ond ahead of Melton on corrected time. After that. MellOn led the rest of the way, but Martin was never more than a minute behind until lap six. . By then the entire course was mud. water, ruts and more mud. Vision problems dropped Martin. who wears glasses. three-minutes behind Melton after the sixth lap and sevenminutes back after lap seven. but he was still a secure three and a hall minutes ahead of Lojak going inlO the eighth and final lap. Then a racing gremlin allacked his 250cc CanAm. and Martin had 10 change spark plugs twiceon his final circuit. "Then , sl id down on the molOcross tr;;ck near the finish." a disappointed Martin said. "and Eddie passed me." Martin's Can-Am te;;mmate, Geoff Ballard, was another 34-seconds b;;ck, and he cited problems p;;ssing slower riders ... , was surprisc'd;;t how tight the track was for a hare scr;;mbles. h seemed more like an enduro," the 1982 Australian Enduro Champion said. Kevin Hines was one of many riders who complained of throttle problems. '" could barelv turn the throttle." he said, "and mv, bike's engine kept loading up. h m~st han' gOllen mud in thl' carburetor or SOIll('thing.hjust wasn't responding." He finished second in Open A and fifth overall. Husky-supported Frill Kadln was sixth overall and third in Open A on Dick Burleson's 500cc AUlOmatic, despite having 10 change a plug on the starting line and SlOpping 10 assist a rider who was injured after Kadlec passed him on a gnarly downhilI and the unidentified rider ran into his rear wheel.
