RESULTS "1 just kind of pulled away from everyone when all that stuff was going on at the beginning," said Summers. "There was some time left to ride, but I just didn't really have to race with anybody_ I just rode relaxed and had fun on the track. It was a perfect track and I was just having a great time riding my motorcycle. " "1 feel like I had a good day," said West Virginia's Doug Blackwell, the fourth-place finisher. "I got a decent start and was staying with everybody. Summers started to pull away from us after Plessinger fell. I ran third for a littie bit when Plessinger fell, but after he went back around me I never passed him again. I was hoping we would hook up to catch Freddy Andrews but he was just a little faster. He caught Fred but I didn't." "I got a fourth- or fifth-place start and really didn't move up or drop back the whole day," said Pennsylvania's Duane Conner. "There really wasn't anybody around me to race with, so nothing really exciting happened. 1 just ended up fifth place, which was right where 1 started." The AMA allows rider to drop their two lowest finishes in the National Hare Scrambles Series. Plessinger and Smith are both out of "throwaway" races, which means that neither can afford a bad finish in either of the last two rounds, set for Linville, Indiana,_ and Kent, Washington. On net points, Summers is ahead of Plessinger by three points, though his gross total is much greater. "This is going to be a great battle," said Summers in anticipation of the remaining races. "Rodney is still in even though he DNFed today, and Scott's right there, too. They don't have any throwaways left, but 1 do, but 1 would still like to better some scores in these last two rounds." If Summers can win the title it would mark fourth career AMA National Hare'Scrambles Championship. (~ his r Sunday Creek Raceway Millfield,·Ohio Results: October 8, 1995 O/A: 1.
