"I came in with six, but tha t can't be righ t," said Rus sell. "I' m showin g a zero in a section (check four) where everyone else was dropp ing one or two. " Fredette, who was eventually listed as the overa ll H igh Point rider, was more optimistic regarding the score sheets. "T hey mu st have used th eir backup sheets to justify th e scoring," sa id Fredette, wh o j ust ca me off winn in g the Illinoi s Pro Ice Ra cing Championship. " I was in the 30s (seconds) and Ru ssell was in th e 50s at the tie-breaker check. I' m happy with my ride." I heard a crazy noise coming up through som e whoo ps, and then I saw it was Bevo (Forti, Scott USA rep ) on that old Bultaco." said Fredette. " He was grinding the rear fender down on the knobby! I'm no expert on th ose things, but I think hi s Bul needs some fine tuning. " Jim Mitchell took sixth in the 250cc A class, but also cam e up with the top four-stroke finish. " My Honda XR did n 't have any power disadvantageI was really smoothin ' out those palmetto roots! " said Mitchell. "It looks like I'm getting $500 in Honda contingency bucks for winning the four-strokes. The Alligator was a big hit for mel" While everyone was loading up and bench racing prior to the aw ards ceremony, Hawkins was in a huddle wi th race organizers. "They have Fredette's whole row on . time at that check (wh ere others dropped 1·2)," said Hawkins. "The backup book shows they all zeroed, just like th e original score, but I can 't believe it. (Terry) Cunningham knew he was late at that check , and they still zeroed him." ' Approximately on e hour later, an official decision did fall in Hawkins' favor. "We finall y worked it out," . explained Hawkins. " We had to go to a secondary backup board, and ever ything got straightened out. It was a great day." Hawkins did some extra celebrating with a special friend. Jan Hrehor, a buddy of his fro m ISDE competition, was visiting from Czechoslovakia. "Jan will be here , riding the same schedule I am, un til he goes back on April 23, " said Hawkins: H reh or topped the 250 As, and was left in the _ spirit of givi ng. After receiving Scott goggles for his class win, he offered them to Hawkins and Suzuki off-road rep Charles Halcomb. "This is my ' prize, and I give it to my good friends," said Jan. "Nothing could be bett er for CN me tha n to ride the Alligator." · Agajanian ChrlSprese~~ CAl EXPO _ Honda at sp Har\ey v~ Fly'" Mike Brown Will go for world distance r~cord of 246ft. SAT.
