Kadlec piloted his Husky to a fourth in the SOOcc class. riders some less rocky trail for day two, but clearing weather and the first day's results led to a revision of the time schedule that took away a couple more minutes at each of the checks. A few riders were actually caught napping and entered the first check on their grace period, but the club was determined to not host a "one-day" test. Between the finish of the first .day at 2 p.m., the posting of the scores, and the dawn of day two, a large number of local riders were houred out of the event. A lack of familiarity with FIM and ISDE Qualifier timekeeping had groups of riders standing and scratching their heads, and more than a few riders were relieved to find that they'd gone over their hour. The C riders actually rode a differem course during both days, an abbreviated version of the full course, without the special tests. Smith entered the impound area to find his epoxy job holding up, and he started the day with renewed energy. Through the trails and imo the first special test he was flying, but it still promised to be a Tong day. Hines and Lojak suffered one of the few dramas they had to suffer during the run at about 32 miles out. It seems Hines was leading the two, when his odometer stopped working. "We were flying along, Eddie was following, and I didn't realize that the odometer quit. It stopped at 32.6, and we had a check at 34.6, and when I noticed it stopped I had no idea where we were! Eddie stopped and said, 'I thought you knew what you were doing!' and I said 'No way!' We went into the check about 30. seconds into OUT grace, and almost lost some trail points'" Team Husky's Dim Smith, in the meantime, was out learning about New England. Since his first real eastern ride was the Alligator End.UTo in Florida, he wasn't entirely prepared for the rocks and tight trails. As the day wore on, so did Smith, although reports that he'd "run over his tongue" were .greatly exaggerated. Smith's bike gave up the ghost before the final motocross. As the riders dutifully pushed into the impound before the final motocross, it was obvious tha t they had had enough. The Intent riders remaining were actually pretty energetic, but as the rows got longer, so did the faces. "That was rough," was about all you heard, and about all you needed to know. Bikes were patched together, as were riders. NETRA rider Kemp Stewart, in The European' Alternative Is Available Now!'
