in five mo tos, and Frecker grabbing three mo ta
and two over;tll wins.
McMillin grabbed the holeshot in the Schoo lb oy cl as s, w hi le Frec ker got a p oor s tar t.
McMillin held the lead until lap three when he
fell. "I slid out in a tum and jaso n go t by," he
said . Freder, on a j&M Cycles Hond a, took the
win.
The two former mini stars also rod e in the
125a:B class . Frecker got the best start, ahead of
McM illin and Troy Swar tz. On a j&:R Spo rts
Sh o p/Pro- Ci r cu it/Yoko Racew ea r -ba cked
Kawasaki, McMillin s ta lked Preck er for two
la ps; after a coup le of cha nces at the lead , he
fou nd a wa y b y. Flying th rou gh the whoops ,
McM illin got a g reat d r ive over th e d o ub le
jumps, then slammed the door on Frecker on the
tabletop .
Frecker tried to regain his momentum, but
clipped a pole with his hand leba r and lost too
much time. McMillin took the win, with Frecker
second an d Swa rtz third.
During the intermiss ion , McMillin contin ued
his hot strea k by taking the win in the Amate ur
dash-for-cash race; Frecker got knocked down in
the first tum.
Th e race of the afternoon happened in the
secon d Schoolboy mote. After a clean start,
Frecker began looking for wa ys to take the lead.
After three att empts to block pass McMillin had
ended in collisions, Freder finally took the lead .
McMillin then set up Frecker in the left-hander
after the do uble ju mp on the back sid e of the
track, bu t he lost his rear brake and overshot the
tum, actually en tering in another section of the
track. Frecker too k the lead and the overall win,
blasti ng through the whoops on the ·last lap to
an exciting finish.

The Expe rt heats we re wo n by Beyer, jon
Parke r, jack Maye r, More head and Roed er, and
with more tha n h alf of th e finalists hold in g

Ohio "pea gra vel" action.
Whe the r it was the prop er combina tion, or
the fact tha t four of his major spo nsors were p resent, Morehead led the 750<:c Expe rt field int o
turn one at th e sta rt of th e ma in ev en t. Th e
crowd got a repea t of the 1993 Fall Regional a t
Greenville, w ith a nother Morehead /Roeder
du el erupting, but this time with a twist. Dan
Butler also ran with the two veterans from Ohio
and wanted to be lead ing the race ins tead of just
following along.
Th e th ree riders tried a variety of line s as
they wo rked the track. By the halfway point,
Moreh ead had his KK Supply / F&:S / Shep herd
Chemical/john Drago /Bell /Air Pro /j oe Wilson /Dirt Trac k Number Plates / Autowor ld backed XR7S0in front for good, and wo uld take
the win followed by Roeder , Butler, Scott Stump
and Georgie Price.
When the Pro-Am main assembled on the
freshly groo med fairgrounds , Rob Williams was
on the ou tside pol e, and he took control from
the g ree n lig h t. Th ornton Cycle Sales /Darcy
Racin g Specialties/Maralman Family / Vee vay
Dairy Queen/Mike and Dave Gurley/ M&:D and
Fr iends-sponsored Gary Stogsdill closed on
Williams , and with the event ha lf ove r, took the
point. From there, Stogsdill cruised to the win in
his third outing on a brand -new Rotax. Williams
hung on for seco nd, followed by Ryan Brown,

Butler blasts 1-96 HM
By Grace DiBenedetto
LAKE OOESSA. MJ. MAY 29
The first half mile o f th e 1994 Mic higan di rt
track seaso n wen t off wi thout a hitch, drawing
175 entries to the bl ue-grooved oval at 1-96
Speedway w here Dan Bu tler, the only Harley
rider to make the Pro--Am mai n event, did not
d isappoint the fa ns w ho waved hi m on with
boisterous cheers to the checkered flag.
Butler dialed the track in from the first sign
of green, posting the fas tes t of the th ree heats
with a 2:31.40 over Dou g O'Boyle's heat win of
2:33.26. In the final, Butler checked out early
with a power move to the outside a nd waved
good-bye to the other 13 riders in the field. The
onl y question left was w ho wo uld be second.
The answer came quickly wh en Doug O'Boyie
picked up the pace to gain a comfortable lead
over third place by lap four. By lap six, the ride rs had strung out, with jack Mayer an d Eric
O'Boyie following the leaders.
With the big mo ney pos itions locked up, all
that was left to fight over was pocket cha nge,
but fou r riders tho ug ht it was worth it. Pa ul
Kops, Kirk Wirick, Mike Dickerson a nd rookie
rid er ]aramia Becker p ic ked t he ir lines an d
charged for the checkered flag four-wide as they
raced for fifth -p lace money. The fou r crossed
over the line in that order, whee l to whee l and
peg to peg. making for the only exciting finish of
the feat ure race. Afte r a tire check, all ri ders
were found to be in compliance w ith the new
AMA compo un d rule.
Butler took home the cash in the Combo
class as well, repeating with a 2O-Iength victory
that earned him the respect of the rest of the
field .

and ab ility, Bob Klin e, 34, o utran fellow pro
jules Farmer, 21, for the overall win in the 2.50<:<:
Pro class at Aztec MJ('s monthly motocross.
The first combined 2.50<:<: moto left the start ing area with Farmer pulling the holeshot on his
White Bros.-sponsored Kawasaki, and Kline in
tow. Farmer set a quick pace that Kline attempted to ma tch. In an attem p t to dose the gap
between himself and the lead er, Kline was performing a no frills flight over the back trip le that
had hi landing nearly 30 feet past the land ing
m
ra mp. On the fifth lap, Kline ran off the track
after land ing and took a ride through the weed s.
The time he lost to Farmer as a resul t was too
great to make up and he had to settle for second .
In moto two, the field roc ke ted out of the
gate with Kline takin g his CR2S0 in to the lead
this time and never looking back, while Farmer
wa s ca u ght beh ind 250cc intermedia te rid er
Luke Fennewald for ha lf a lap. Kline showed
amazing speed thr ough the whoops and the first
tum. Every pa ss throu gh the whoops ha d his
Honda peaked , with the rev limiter tryin g to
keep the motor in one piece. Farmer tried to play
catch up b ut with out mu ch succeess until the
last lap, when Kline backed off the pace in traffic
and Fa rmer clo sed to w ithi n 8 b ik e lengths.
Kline styled ove r the finish line for the moto and
