class wins in the opening round of
the 2nd Annual South Texas MX SeTies at Goodtimes Motorspons Park
in San Antonio.
A thundershower just prior 10 the
first set of molO left the well-prepared
layout extremely slick in cenain sections, placing an extra imponance
on judicious use of brakes and throttle. Warned of the hazardous conditions moments before the stan of he
first Over 30 class, Mike Farmer
grinned and said, "M ud never gi ves
me any trouble. I go so fast that I just
hydroplane on Lhestraightsandjump
over everything else." It turned out to
be a fairly accurate description of
how he handled the track since he
was especially adept at aviating over
the first of the three sets of rocker-type
whoops where mo t riders were encountering traction problems. A twO
heat sweep by the original "Refrigerator. "
Cousin Jerry had a somewhat more
difficult time in scoring his two wins.
"I was taking it real easy around one
of the turns where I fell in practice
and I kept overshooting another turn
becauseofthemud. I was gritting my
teeth, expecting the front end to slide
out in several places and everything I
did the rest of the pack would gain on
me," a weary Farmer confessed after
an evening's work that resulted in
first overall in the 250cc Expen clash.
Teammates Tommy Pavelka and
Rusty Dorn finished second and third
respectively with Doug Paley riding
to a strong runner-up finish in molO
one and then crashing heavily and
getting run over by Pavelka in the
second round, putting him out of the
running and into the first aid area for
a short stay.
Toby Vasquez, a mainstay in the
Mini Senior class, suffered his share
of problems this-evening leaving a
closely bunched field to argue over
supremacy in the small bore contest.
Tyler Larson finally managed to overcome the efforts of Jason Krempin,
Jerry Gibson and Brad Lisenbe in
gaining the win.
The Mini Beginners found the mud
a formidable obstacle as they went
slip-sliding around the course in a
host of unusual and erratic patterns
which, while providing a great source
of mirth for the spectators, did not
appear funny at all to the participants.
Chad Christian, Chris Janssen and a
beleagured Chris Floyd managed to
garner trophies after the muddy melee
was over.
. Austin~s irrepressible Smokey Joe,
after a 14-week layoff with a broken
leg, was so fatigued from his victory
in the Vet class that he had 10 stay on
his Yamaha YZ490 for a full five
minutes after the final molO, unable
even 10 lift his leg over the bike to
dismount. Using a cane in the pits,
he later attributed his triumphant
return 10 racing 10 "clean living and
DOClOr Claire Chanauh of Austin."
