"I might even have clipped one. Either way, Plessinger got together with one of those guys and that' s what d id him in. It gave me breathing room right when the tra il o pened up . Nobody was ahead of m e, so 1 ra n as fast as I could and fi nally got away from him." '1 just wanted to follow Fred all day: ' said Plessinger. "I felt like 1 was picking better lin es than him until the las t lap. Then, after 1 went down, 1 lost my concen tration . I guess 1 kne w that it would be too hard to catch him after tha t." "I think that Scott (Plessinger) and Fred (Andrews) only ride as fast as the y have to when Summers or Smith aren't here:' observed Norton. "I think Fred was trying to conserve some energy and Scott was jus t going fast enough to keep me behind him. They were playing a strategy g ame out there; it obviously worked for them." For cross-country newcomer Tom Carson , the Brownsville GNCC was another learning experience. The former pro motocrosser from Ohio w as in the early battle for the lead but a series Of mishaps knocked him off the pace. "Let's see, 1 ran out of gas before my first stop, ran into someone on one of the uphills and endoed, got my foot stuck in ., the rear wheel and smacked up against every tree in th is fores t: ' said Carson aft er struggling to 10th ov erall. "I hope this is jus t my dues-pa ying time because 1 hit enough trees for everyo ne ou t there . Ma yb e 1 will have it more together for the next one." a Brownsville City Park Brownsvill e, Pennsylvania Results: April 24, 1994 (Rou nd 4 0112 O /A : 1. Fred And re ws (Yam ); 2.
