AMA New England Dirt Track Series opener in
Canaan . In bo th th e Senio r and Pro cl asses,
Myrick was on the throttle from the starting line
and unchallenged through both races.
.
To add a bit of nosta lgia for the seni or racers ,
mo st o f the tr ack lights blew during the 60cc
heat which ran just before the Senior heal. The
Seniors started with an infield full of vehicles
lighting up tums two, three and four with their
head ligh ts.
Undaunted by the unusual lighting. 1993
Senior champ Myrick got the early jump in the
Senior class while Ca rl Nab inger picked h is
Kawasaki through the pack to cha llenge secondpla ce rid er Jolin Thomas on an Ossa. Nabinger
and Th omas battled ha nd lebar to handleb ar
through the turns un til Nabinger got the ed ge at
the checkered flag for second, jus t inches in front
of Thomas.
Myrick repeated his Senior start in the Open
Pr o class, blastin g inlo the lead righ t off the
starting line. Super Senio r and Pro racer Nor~
man Laviolelle th undered on his Harl ey to a distant second-place finish.
Andy Mill er wen l up aga ins t 1993 Gr and
National New England Ch amp ion Aaro n
Creamer in the 125cc Ama teur class. Miller hamme red the throttle for an early lea d into tum
one, leavi ng a th ree-way battle for second
between Crea mer, Butch Walsh and 1993 250cc
Ama teur cha mp Cu rt Friend. On the second lap,
Friend slid his Can-A m off the track and Creamer opened a so lid lead ove r Walsh to finis h in
5eCondbehind Miller.
In 80cc action, TItI\ Turcotte fired his Honda
into an ea rly I"" d , leav ing Adam Laviolette an d
Joshua Bailey to bailIe it out for second on boa rd
their Kawasakis. Sliding aro und tum two, tire to
tire, Laviolette took Bailey in the drag race d own
the straight, the n ate away at Tur cotte's lead
until he was all over Turco lle on th e last lap.
Still trailing in the las t tum, Laviolelte dove to
the inside, nearl y running down a lapped rider,
to steal the win from Turcotte.
