"Hell no, I wasn't going to let him pass," said a smiling Brown, "I was trying to do everything just perfect so he couldn't get by. He was right there at my back wheel for the last half lap and I was hoping that if I didn't get nervous that would make him nervous. , was able to pulJ him (Hendon) through the straights and that kept me out front. And about midway through the first lap Bob Bean got out front and the three of us really put some distance between us and the rest of the guys. He knew the trails." Team Kawa aki' JeH Fredette topped the 200cc class, coming in 15 minutes ahead of second place Ben Harmick's Kawasaki and 16 minutes in front of Yamaha rider Timothy Carmien. "It would have been more than that," said Fredette "but I got into a long train on those narrow trails and it was impossible to get around and the guy out front wouldn't pull over. He finally missed an arrow or we'd probably still be oUl there." Fredette was fifth overalL Scott Plessinger, riding a 250 Kawasaki, finished sixth overall six minutes off the pace and 22 seconds ahead of seventh place overall Wally Wilson's KTM. "I got so dehydrated," said Plessinger, '" didn't think' was going to make it. Those tight trails really make you work." Ron Ribolzi won the I25cc A class with Larry Surles in second and AI Fredrickson third. Ribalri said, "I passed John Martin on the fourth lap so I knew , was doing okay. I got in that same miin that Fredette was in. That was bad, but otherwise it was great. , loved those mud traiJs; some were even slimy." Team Can-Am's John Martin rode his first hare scrambles since breaking his leg March 29 'at Tennessee. "I feel pretty good," said Martin. "The best way to whip tbe body into shape is to ride, but I'm very tired. I got stuck twice in those mud bogs." Honda's Kurt Hough, in fifth on . the third lap, dropped out when his 250 lost power. "I don't know what happened, said Hough. "When I got on the straight and cranked the throttle it went brapp. I may have a hole in something." Super Senior class winner Jeff Smith finished second behind Harry Greenlee but the Can-Am rider mathematically won the overall season Super Senior class Championship. "Thi.s is so different than when I was riding professionally. Then everything was so serious, now it's just fun. I'm like a 12-year-old kid having the time of his life," said former MX champ Smith. - Results OVERALL: 1. Kevin Brown (Hon); 2. Tony Hendon (C-A); 3. Mark Hyde (Hus); 4. Bob Baan (KTM); 5.
