ORRIS, PA. SEPT. 12
For the third year in a row , High Poin t Racew ay
opened its doors to the top Vets in the eas tern
U.S. for the Dirt Bike /Fo x/Wiseco /Boyesenspo nsore d Senior /V et Na tional. and Tom
Carson and Mike Jon es took advan tag e of the
competition by posting overall wins in 30+ A
and 25+ A classes , respec tively.
Motocross greats sum as Ga ry Sem ics and
Eyv ind Boyesen once aga in took advan tage of
perfect weather and track co nd itions to show
meir stuff. Th e wee kend of racing pr ovid ed a
Hperfect w arm·up" for th e Fall Classic Se ries
' ~ u n d whi ch will be hel d a t H igh Po int o n
.Jctober 9-10.
The 30+ A class looked to be a gr een sweep
w ith Mike Postlewaite jum p ing out.to a big lead
aboa rd his Kawasaki. But as time passed , circu it
pros Tom Carson and David Han d reeled him in
and showed him how mu ch training he should
h ave done be fore th e ra ce. Training wou ldn' t
have helpt.'ry in the Pro Modified Mini class during the 10th
Anual running of th e Langt o wn Backyard
Supercross Championships.
The event drew the likes of fanner Supe rcross
Champion Johnn y O' Mara.
" 1 wa s he re la st y ear as a specta tor and
thought it was a great track," O'M ara said . " I told
them I might race next year, and so here I am ."
For 1993, the event was extremely organized :
from radi o di sp atched (tracks ide) security to an
awesome nre works di splay. They ev en had
Althea Henderson perform the Nationa l Anthem.
The first 'moto can only be described as the
"0 " show, as Johnny O'Mara pulled the holeshot
and preceded to whip his Sp ike Racing / Enzobacked KXR80 over all the track' s obsta cles for
the even tua l runaway victory. Last year's winner ,
Res ults
"My b ike wasn 't jetted for the hot weath er,"
said Pars ons . "When my bi ke sta rted ge tti ng
h ot , it ju st bogg ed o ff jumps a n d thro ugh
bumps."
Despite the problems, Pa rso ns wo uld ho ld
on to second place. Back in the pa ck, Met zger
ha d wo rked his way to fou rth and was cha llen gin g Dav is. Metzg er wen t for the ins ide to
make the pa ss, but ended up clipping the rear
wh ee l of Davis and goi ng do wn hard . Metzger
remounted in th e fou rth spo t, b u t the dazed
rid er wa s pa ssed by Jim my Lavo rci. When the
chec kered flag finally flew it was Schnell with
the w in as Parsons, Davis an d l av orci fo llowed.
At the start of the second moto it looked like
ano the r Parsons /Schnell ba ttle. Unlike mo to
one, Schn ell led the chase as Parsons followed
close behind. Davis was runnin g in the third
spot until the wi ld man, Metzger , charged from
fifth to take third on the first lap . Schnell and
Parsons broke free ear ly in the race to hammer
a t each other's backs.
At ab out the halfwa y po int , Sch nell had
pulled a little distance on Parso ns. By th is time
Metzger had closed the gap on the lead ers and
he sta rt ed to put so me pressu re on Parsons. The
lop three rid ers quickly bunched up and heated
up the race for the lea d . Metz ger went for secon d as Parsons went for the lead . Parsons' hopes
fo r th e ov erall w ent u p in s mo ke wh en h e
stu ffed a berm and went down. Met zger took
over seco nd as a d isappoint ed Pa rson s pic ked
himself off the ground to hold on to third . That
was all she wrote as the riders held their po sitions until end of the mote.
