KINGSl'ORT, TN, MAR. 5 The muddy con d itions th at p rev a ile d at Joe Williams' first race, as the new owner of Hi dden Acres MX, weren' t pretty, bu t the y were ins tructive, and they didn' t seem to bother the riders on hand to compete. "My firs t race wa s a mu d-wrestling contes t," Williams said . "We may give tro phi es to all th e rid ers just for coming ou t." . A week of stea dy rain tu rned th e Hidden Acres circuit into gooey mu ck, an d no ticeably cut b a ck t he en try . Those w h o we re ga me eno ugh (or foolish enough) to compe te opted for a one-moto form at, afte r the first half of the program wa s comp leted. Newly a dv ance d to th e B cl asses, Ma c' s Cy cle/ Ya mah a of Kingspo rt-suppo rted Ju stin McCoy ru led the 250cc B d ivision and tu rned in a seco nd-p lace rid e in the 125cc B class afte r a racelong tussle wi th Jon Boruff. Jeffery Ryan ran away wi th Senio r Mini an d the new Un limited Mini class, kee ping out of the reach of Dan iel Tesh. ' Hans Neel, J.R. Carter an d . Jam es Henr y. This ye ar, Ryan will compe te on a new KXIOO in th e Unlim ited Mini and Super Mini classes, an d is expect ed to do well. Joey Sing le ton ow ne d both 25+ and 30+ B classes while his running buddy Larry Sparks tested the waters of the Vet A classes. The 1995 Vet A ranks have swelled suddenly, with the addition of several very fast racers. Some have come up from the B classes, and some are now eligible to enter from th e 125 and 250cc A divsions. Watch for Kevin Wa lker, Jim Che ster, Larry Spa rks , Shane . Temp leton and of course, Mike Andrews to be factors in Vet A during the '95 season. Hidden Acres will see plenty of action in 1995, . as most of the Tri-State Series events will be held at the facility. In ad dition, two AMA MegaSeries " races are scheduled for April and June.
