By the time the gr een flag flew, 565 riders
were entered to compete on the almost 12-miIe
track that encompassed nearl y every type of terrain imagina ble.
.
As the morning fog lifted, the stage was set
with 14 Pros on the line, including Hoenshell
and series rivals Dean Lan e and Ste ve Mack.
Jackie Uddell negotiated the downhill off-camber, first tum for the hol eshot whil e Hoenshell
sw ept the outside and Lane got tied up on the
inside. Amazingly, Lane wasted no time hammering to the front of the pack. Many had written Lane off for this race as he was competing
with a broken hand. Within a mile of completing the first lap, Lane 's luck changed. He had
built up over a one-minute lead when he highsided in a fast, rough section of the track. The
cata pult to the ground left Lane dazed and confused, with mo re than his fair share of track
rash . Hoenshell moved into the lead and went
unchallenged for the remaining three laps of the
race.
Mack led the chase behind Hoenshell, followed closely by Jeremy Fipps. Mack was still
reeling from being stripped of his win in the first
round at Waco and was ou t for blood . Fipps was
keeping pa ce bu t fou led a pl ug on lap two.
Mack would s tay close to Hoenshell, but not
close enough to challenge. The Dallas Honda
ri der locked up second place, while Lane reen tered the race on his twisted mount to finish
third.
In Open Expert action, Brent Nalley put his
KX500 into the early lead until he was overtaken
b y KTM of Ft. Worth-backed Bert Reynolds.
Reynolds secured the lead and s tay ed there
although both Todd Tarver and Johnny
Lamance threatened. Lamance and Tarver battled for second, exc hang ing po siti on sev eral
tim es, with Lamance end uri ng at the finish to
take second behind Reynolds.
