ICing hole.hot the second heat and
Staufenbeil was third behind John Emerson.
Emerson and Staufenbeil tangled in the whoops
with Emerson falling. Once Staufenbeil regained
control of his Suzuki, King had opened up a 13second lead. ICing held on for victory but
Statifenbeil put in an impressive tide and closed
the gap to a couple of seconds at the finish line.
King was the initial leader in the first 12Scc
Intermediate moto, with Jeff Tilton on his tail
Tilton took the lead on lap two and Dennis
Dahlin followed him into second, while
Staufenbeil slipped into fourth. By the third lap
Staufenbeil had control of third and was moving
in on Dahlin. Staufenbeil locked into the lead
wilen Tilton and Dahlin tangled on the last lap.
Both recovered with Dahlin second and Tilton
third.
In the second moto Staufenbeil nailed the
holeshot and relied on pure speed to pull away
and score the win. Angelo Ingrande and Tilton
provided most of the action, however, Tilton
applied heavy pressure throughout the first two
laps and motored into second when Ingrande got
a little out of shape over the triples. Ingrande
recovered to pressure Tliton throughout the race.
Aldo De La Cajiga scored the overall win in
the 12Scc Novice Stock class via two consistent
second-place, finishes. John Conrad won the
first heat and Wilson Nichols Jr won the second.

Hoenshell handles Red
River Cross Country
MUENSnJl. IX, FEB. 21
Clay Hoenshell bested Dean Lane to win the
Pro class at the opening round of the IS-race
Tucker Rocky-sponsored Texas Cross Country
Series on the banks of the Red River in far north
Texas.
A record crowd was on hand for the event,
and contingencies from American Suzuki coupled with fantastic weather brought the winterweary racers out in droves for a total of 428
entrants. With three races throughout the day,
spectators were treated to a full schedule.
The course covered 8.S miles of well-used
trail, and was a combination of tracks used in
previous years' events. The mot0cr0ss-6tyle start
was staged in an open field with a first turn
around a large oak tree. The course crossed
Mountain Creek several times before heading
into a woods section. The remainder of the
course included !ast open portions, rocky, rooted woods trails and a sand field. The Pro and
Expert class riders ran six laps.
Fifteen Pros made up the first row of the
morning even~ all hoping for a piece of the $600
pro purse and contingencies ranging hom
Dunlop tires and Answer handlebars to Ancra
tie-downs. When the flag dropped, MSR/ICTM
America/Duralube/Trick/ICTM of Fort Worthbacked Dean Lane and MSR/Arlington Suzukibacked Hoenshell were off to an early lead,
pulling over a one-minute advantage on the
pack in the first lap. By lap three, the two frontrunners were caught up in their own private
battle in the midst of lapped traffic.
"We kept using the lappers to pass each
other in the woods," said Ho..nshell.
"Sometimes we'd both pass at the same time.
We were having a great race! Dean would pull
me by 10 to 20 seconds down in the creek and
fast fields, but I'd reel him in in the woods."
After several crashes on lap four, H~1l
was down by 48 seconds and it looked to be
Lane's race. "The first haU of the race I kept
thinking I could get away from (Oay): said
Lane. "I'd glance back and, dang. he'd be right
there. After the third lap I didn't hear him and
Christi gave me the pit board showing 48 seconds. I thought, "Two laps to go, gotta keep the
pace up or he'll reel me in like last year when (
was on the 540:"
A .hallow, narrow gulley with a kicker at the
entrance brought Lane's race to a premature and
painful end. Lane suffered a collapsed lung, a
separated shoulder and abrasions on his back
when he high-sided in fourth gear. He was
taken by helicopter to Harris Methodist Hospital
in Fort Worth.
Hoenshell was confused when his pit crew
indicated that he was winning. but he motored
uncha llenged to the win.
Some four minutes back from Hoenshell, Jeff
Pearson, Jeremy Fipps, Darron Brawn, Jackie
Liddell, Scott Stidd and Shaun Martin were having a battle of their own. Brawn and Fipps were
on the gas early on, fighting for the third spot
while Pearson motored on in fifth. By the second
lap Fipps made his move, passing a fading
Brawn through the water in Mountain Creek.
Martin was working up from a last-place start,
trying to catch Fipps. By the final lap, Fipps had
inherited the number-two spot. with Pearson in
third and Martin passing Liddell in Mountain
Creek for fourth. Fipps' (uck ended with a shattered clutch basket, giving the runner-up spot to
Pearson. Uke many others throughout the day,
Martin got off hard while crossing the pipeline
and had to switch to reserve within a mile of the
finish. but still held off Liddell for third. Liddell
and Stidd rounded out the top five Pros.
,
Open Expert rider Mike Abbott appears to
be back up to full speed after dealing with a
broken wrist for the latter haU of last season. No
one challenged Abbott's charge for the Expert
overall, as he finished five minutes ahead of
runner-up Bert Reynold•. Abbott was turning
lap times fast enough to have secured third in
the Pro class.
