Jim Spe ncer won the Expert class and Senior A cla ss at th e opening round of Sq uare Deal Riders' Mud in Your Eye Mud/Snow Scrambles Series. The tight, technical course was very rough and muddy, with few riders ab le to maintain a fast pace over the one mile co u rse. But 40 year old Spencer seemed oblivious to the conditions. One hundred seven riders signed up to ride the scra mbles, wh ich was also th e New York State Championship Scrambles Series, The temperature hovered around freezing despite su n ny skies. By the tim e th e last race began, the muddy track was beginning to freeze. Dave Sanford won the Super &nior class by a full lap over Joe Arcesi. This was the first time the class had beeri offered in several years. It had been dropped due to lack of riders, but if th e riders who signed up Sunday are an indication, it may become a popular class this season.In the Senior B class Brad Fli nt grabbed the holeshot and ran away for the wi n. Scott Sinnett, T om Dougherty, Richard Holbert and Tom Blachek battled for second. On the th ird lap Sinnett go t into trouble and slipped to fifth. Lap four saw Blachek move by Dougherty and Holbert to take second. On lap fiv e Holbert and Blachek swapped positions twice with Blachek finishing second and H olbert settling for third.

Motocross win 'W By J oe Zipay VENTURA, CA, NOV. 17 Factory KTM rider Bobby Moore came home o n holiday aft er competing in th e Supercross at Barcelona. Spain, and he came out to Ventura Raceway to get in a little practice befo re headi ng back over to France for the Paris Supercross. Moore may have gouen " a little more than he bargained for, though, wh en he tangled with loca l favorite Randy Moody in the 250cc Pro clas s. What started out as a yawner turned in to a n out and oUt dogfight. '., Moore, aboard a stock KTM 250, got of[ the line fir st in moto o ne ahead of Mood y, Jim Holley a nd Tracy Mo n terone. The KTM rider opened up a quick lead and never looked ba ck . Mo ody fi nished a d istant seco n d. Monterone took third after Holley dropped o ut ea rly. Randy Moody came out lik e a tig er for th e second molO. The H onda rid er roared down th e sta rt straigh t to take th e ea rly lead with Moore and Mo nterone in tow . Moor e stuck 10 Moody's back tire. , On lap th ree o f th e eigh t· la p molO, Mood y carried too mu ch momentum over th e tabl etop and went wide in th e next co rne r, allowin g Moore to ge t by o n th e i nside. A few corners later, Moody took an extremely tig h l li ne, clearl y ins ide the apex of th e unmarked turn and sla m med Moore, using th e KTM for a ber m. Moore followed Moody like a shadow , and the n a lap lat er in th e same corn er, tlie KTM rider took th e very sa me lin e an d a ttem p ted a block pass, but Moody go t o n the brak es hard, and wh en Moore slid paS!, Mood y shot underneath and back into the lead . T he two rid ers tra ded th e lead back and fo rth 'and swap ped pa int severa l tim es, as th e race heated up. At on e point Moore go t a goOd drive o ut of a comer and p ut a wh eel in front o f Moody in midair over a double jump, th e two riders were so close it appeared that Moore go t whacked 'in th e head by Moody 's fro nt tir e. Moody hung on to th e lead until he cut a flat left-handed corner a little too close a nd ca ug h t a big tire with his front wheel. Mood y, trying to recover. drifted into Moore's line and th ey both went down o n top o f each o the r. It wa s a mad scramble to get going again•. a s both r id ers kicked th ei r bikes and exchan~ words. Amazingly both bikes fired up at th e exact sam e tim e and they were at it again with Moody in front and Moore on ly in ch es behind. Meanwhile, back in third place, Monterone was playing to the crowd, turning a set of doubles and a single jump into a mon strou s triple. On the last lap, jut when it seemed that Moore was backing off a bit, Moody got out of shape while working through lappers and launched o ff a big double. The Honda rider
