win" had been lost when the ma ter link on his
chain let go on the lasl lap due 10 a bent chain
guide.
"This is the second year in a row that this
exact thing has happened to me at this race,"
said Fay. "This race is in my own backyard, and
I think it's a bad omen for me."
A surprised Abney found himsell in the lead
with less than one lap left in the race.
"Coming down the hill out of the pits I saw
Dave walking up," said Abney, "but I didn'l
realize who it was until I saw the bike in the
sand wash later." Abney crossed the line a
minute and a half ahead of second-place rider
Jules Fa rmer.
The win, along with the misfortunes of Chris
Dennison, allowed Abney to clinch the season
points championship in the N.M.D.R.C. series
with only one race remaining. After years onryins, Abney will carry the number-one plate in
1996.
Back in the Fay camp the mood was more
somber. Perhaps Mike Arnold Sr., a member of
Fay's pit crew, said it best:
"To lead for so long and to know that you
have the win is grcut. But to lose it on the last lap
with such a bizarre incident is disheartening."
