Have 'Dinner in VEGAS with the BEST RIDERS on EARTH! KTM pilot John Maschino had the quickest reflexes as he shot into the early lead from the dead-engine start. Maschino continued to lead until about the six-mile marker on the eightmile Three Creek Station course. Mike Sampson then took over the lead. As they checked in at the end of the first of six laps, the order read Sampson, Robert Patterson, Morris, Maschino and Darryl Kuenzer - in his rookie year in AA competition. . The top five remained the same with the exception of Morris moving past Patterson on the third lap. Maschino's day went from bad to worse when he stopped to change a flat tire received on the first lap and then suffered another flat tire on the fourth lap. On the second to last lap, Sampson had worked himself into about a one-minute lead when he hit a log right before the' final check and went down. Sampson then remounted and started out on the final lap, surrendering about 30 seconds of his lead to Morris. As Sampson tried to refocus on the race, he feU again starting into the creek section, with the event now looking more like a Florida race after two hours of motorcycles churning up loose sand and gravel. That was all Morris needed to close the gap and shoot past a struggling Sampson to take the win. Sampson, now in second, took out after Morris and caught up to him about a mile down the trail in an open·field section. Morris and Sampson were passing a lapped rider at the same time when the lapped rider came over into Sampson and they both went down. Sampson showed Some determination as he again picked himself up and mounted a charge that brought him to within a wheel length of passing Morris at the finish. "It was just one of those things when we went to pass the slower rider,H Sampson said. "Morris went left, and I went right, and he just came over into me. ~at's racing." Results AA pRQ 1.
