APR. 28 Bill Bean pulled the holeshot in the Combi ned Lightweight a nd Heavyweight A class a t the sta rt of the two- hour Blackh awks H ar e Scram bles a nd steadi ly ra n away from the rest of the field of over 80 riders. Bean 's win came after some mi sfortune on his older brother's part. Bob Bean , who is usually a odds·on favori te to w in , had some trouble at the sta rt, when he found a stump just five feei into the woods and shea red hIS shi fter shaft out of the engi ne. The Blackhawks' Club members had to do a lot of rero u ting of the course, after heavy rai n s and some very persistent beavers had a lot of the orig ina l seven mi le course under water. T he final course layout of 3.8 mi les had only one small sectio n of mud and 'the rest of the track was mostly sand trails. Rob Surface was moving th rough the pack and had gai ned to with in a minute behi nd Bean on the th ird lap un til some mecha nical ' problems proved to be hi s undoi ng .' . Steve Scherer was looking very fast and had moved up to second overa ll. but cou ldn' t close the gap of almost five minutes behi nd the lead er. "When I got the holeshot. I just rode as hard as I cou ld, " said Bill Bean. " I knew Bob (Bean ) would be coming u p beh ind me and I thought I saw him stan di ng by the barrels at th e end of the first lap. Bu t I wasn 't sure. and then all of a ,sudden on the third lap , Bob was right behind mell " Yeah, I bit it good when I hit a stu mp a t the start ," said Bob Bean. " I saw a stu mp and swerved to mi ss it a nd when I did there wa s a no ther one just past it. I h it it with the shifter and it ri pped the shaft rig h t out of the side case. It threw me right over the bars. " I sat out the first cou ple of laps when I pulled the case 0 [[ a nd figured out if I could fix it and go back out . When I went back ou t on the third lap I knew I couldn 't fin ish well , but I was goi ng to ride just for fun a nd to keep my brother hon est. I got beh ind him and star ted pus hin g him faster a nd faster. H e didn't know I was down three larsl "When Bob caught me a ll 0 a sudden , I thought we were bauling for the lead so I wicked it up " said Bill. " We upped the pa ce a lot and- when the whi te flag ca me out for the last lap we really turned it on then . I rod e my rear off. When I found out th at I cou ld hav e cruised to a n easy win , I wa nted 10 bea n him, Results o LIW A: I. Bill Bean (Kaw); 2. Sieve Scherer (Yam); S. Mar k McLaughlin (Kaw): 4.
