Robb ie Horto n wa s the class of the Schoolboy ra nks at the AMA Youth Regiona l Q ualifier a t Mu dd y Creek Raceway. Horton too k wins in both Schoolboy Stock and Modi fied classes while Ricky Ca rmichael of Florida notched the 85cc (14-15) Stock and Modified wins. . Horton's Schoolboy Mod ified performance wa s flawl ess. ;He turned in three ea sy-l ooking moto wins over Scotty Pinson, Christopher Bailey, Marcus Hedrick and Chris Anstead. Pinson and Bailey traded off for second place in each round, with Pinson coming out on top for second ov erall, and Bailey th ird, while Anstead's consis ten t 5-4-5 finishes earned him fourth overall. Hedrick came home a creditable fourth in round one, but a rough moto two followed in which Hedrick crashed, limping home 19th. The Su zuki rider then blazed to a sol id fourth in the fin al moto, salvaging seventh overall. Da vid Dishman, another Georgia rider, earned fifth overall with 8-6-7 finishes. The Schoolboy Stock class wa sn't q;,ite such a picni c for Horton, who fell in the first round but was able to climb back up to fourth. In the next round, Horton was squeezed back to fifth while Boruff jumped to the early le ad until Bailey grabbed it away at the top of the first hill. Boruff 's position in second lasted only a few moments - then he crashed. Horton mov ed into fourth behind Baile y, Hedrick and Dishman, passing one rider, then the other, until he w as pressuring Bailey for the lead. After riding defensively for most of a lap, Bailey went a few inches wide in the tow er sweeper, and that was all the opening Horton needed to pa ss for the win. Emboldened by his good run in th e seco nd moto, Bailey pulled off the third-round holeshot pursued by Horton, Boruff, Pinson, Dishman and Hedrick. But like stock car driver Dale Earnhardt, Horton doesn't mind running second for a while and was content to wait for an opening. It cam e on lap two, with Horton pulling in front for good to secure the moto and overa ll w in, leaving Bailey to fend off Pinson, Boruff and Dishman. Results 44 50 (4-6) STK.: 1.
