Glass, Coombs fake Landover MX By James Derek LANDOVER, MD, SEPT. 14 Honda-mounted Jeff Glass continued his summer-long hot streak while Davey Coombs gathered his first win of the ser- 32 closer over each jump. But time was on the leader's side as the checkers came out with Glass passing Stanley at the finish, both within one second of Coombs. Bias battled back from a terrible start for fourth LO maimain his series lead in the 250cc class, as well as the 125s. ies in Round I I of the World Spons/ AMAIUSHRA Arenacross Championships today. A sell-out crowd of over 16,000 race fans saw Glass battle all night long with series poim leader Mike Bias in the I25cc final in the first Arenacross ever held near the nation's capiLOI. The AXO/Scoll/Shoei-backed Coombs' 250cc final win \\las even closer as he, runner-up Glass, and early leader Brian Stanley from Beckley, West Virgini:!, crossed the finish line just one second apart. After some ATV racing and a live show from a DC area rock and roll band, the 125sroaTedoHthelinewith Bias, Stanley, Glass, and Evans making the first four a red wave of Hondas. Back in the first corner Coombs was busy extracting Carsten's jammed leg from between his wheel and swingarm. Pinney soon moved by the Are- nacross rookie Evans, but the LOp three were already clear and having a race of their own up front. On lap five Glass mustered a pass on Stanley and wem after Bias. Aided by a string of lapped riders, Glass slipped under the tra££ic on the inside at the halfway mark and turned up the pace a few notches. Bias cominued to have trouble with the backmarkers (or seve.ral laps, but finally (ound his line with three laps. to go. Focused on the leader's rear tire, Bias began an allout assault (or the top spot that lasted to the checkered £lag, b.ut it was Glass by a wheel. Stanley crossed the line in third, and a spectacular leap by Brian Carroll over fourth place Pinney left him with nothing more than a separated shoulder and the crowd's appreciation. A determined Stanley burst inLO turn one in the number one spot in the 250cc final and sped away from from-runners Coombs, Moore, Glass and Pinney. The top three riders held their own for the first few laps umil Glass began working on Coombs aher moving imo the third place slot. In every corner the 125 vicLOr pressed hard on Coombs' £lank as he wem from inside to outside looking for a way by. A lillIe past the halfway poim and Glass cominued LO pound his AXO teammate as they entered a group o( lapped riders. Two turns later Coombs blew into the far corner on the inside of a throng of slower riders and unknowingly LOok the lead - the pressure from number three had drawn him to within striking distance of a bottled-up Stanley. The leader was trying an outside berm around two slower riders tangled and shot over inLO his path, giving Coombs an open invitation (or the lead. The new top gun now directed his ride toward the checkered £lag while Stanley and Glass catapulted with a 1-1 score over Virginia's John Winslow in the Senior Mini class at Lake Sugenree Motocross Raceway.
