---------------------------- Harvey Whipple rode his Kawasaki KDX200 to the overall victory at the Morrison Hare Scramble in Illinois. see him back there anymore. Then with about 30 minutes to go I picked up a piece of wire in the rear hub and had to stop and Whipple was right there. I tried to make up the time, but I made some mistakes that cost me more time. I can't complain, I had a good ride." Bin Uphoff, winner of the Senior class wasn't really complaining, but he did ask the questions, "Can't we find an easier way to have fun, maybe a medieval torture chamber? This was a tough race. There wasn't any place to rest. " Can-Am rider Rod Gonney held the lead in the Senior class until late in the second hour before succumbing to the heat and the consistent pace of Uphoff. Lawrence Hayes, a close third, was not able to mount a charge in the waning moments. Craig Hayes, riding a 125cc Husky in the 200cc A class, took third overall when the 430cc Husky of Curtis Arp developed clutch problems causmg Arp to cut back on the pace during the last hour. Trea Prudy again devastated theMini class. Prudy lead the pack as they circled the open field used as a starting area and continued to extend his lead the first 30 minutes, then he cruised for the remaining 15. Eric Clapp and Kevin Gonney had their own battle swapping positions with Clapp finally takin~ second with Gorzney close behind 10 third. Bike Bam owner Bill Gusse when asked about the course being tough said, "Today was a 3.2 mile loop and tbey averaged, at least Whipple did, 18 miles per hour. I didn't put in bad creek crossings or impossible hills - that junk only fools them on the. first lap anyway, the next lap they'll pick a line or go around. I pick the easiest way through tough woods and I don't worry about anyone cutting the course. We're running six different courses so each time out it's fresh trails. I want it tough but not tricky."
