Inaugural BROS Vintage Hare
Scrambles a success
By Scott Ohlemeler
PINE MILLS, 1\ NOV. 12
Despite a modest turnout, the BROS VintageOnly Hare Scrambles, held on the 80 scenic aeres
of piny woods at Mike Smith's Quitman Go-Kart
Speedway, provided entrants some satisfy~.n.g
thrills, and spectators a bit of unexpected eXCIte-
ment.
Temperatures in the low 70s, sunshine and a
light Friday-night rain combined to ereate near
perfect race conditions. The tractIon was out-
standing in the soft, spongy East Texas loam and
helped propel riders through the tight tums of
the 75-minute-plus-one-lap event.
the entry of former Guinness world record holder and superbike ace Ollis Lance, who set the
mark for fastest motorcycle wheel.ie in the mid'80s. Lance diced with Solinger for 11 of 12 laps
before his tank ran dry on the final loop at the
checkpoint/pit area. The delay allowed Solinger
to win by a full three minutes.
Although racing in separate classes, the two
evenly-matched riders staged a 9D-minute battle.
Solinger led from the start despite feeling constant pressure from Lance, who arrive::I at ~early
every checkpoint on Solinger's rear tire. Fmally
on lap eight, Lance found a place to pass and
took the lead for one lap before he overshot a
sharp tum and careened into the thick timber.
"I got tangled up in a bunch of trees and had
to work my bike out of there with no handlebar
room," said Lance, who spent .the next two and
a half laps about 20-30 seconds behind
Solinger's blazing MX36O.
"(Solinger) knows what he's doing out there,
and how to hold a lead in this kind of race,"
Lance said. "Brake skidding. dragging feet in
du t, blocking out on turns.. .! knew it'd be hard
to get around him. I'm used to much more passing roolIl- "

Fay, Moran top Elrna 01
By Clay Ught
El.MA, WA, NOV. 25
The AMA District 27 and Northwest Championship Series came to an end at the Elma Pavilion
Arena, where 258 riders were on hand for one of
the best races of the season.
Topping Professional action were Mickey
Fay, winner of the Expert final, and Bob Moran,
who won the PrcrAm main event.
In the Expert main event, Fay jumped out
&ont and was never headed, while a battle for
second raged between Dan Stanley and Jeff Harsha. The two spent the second half of the race
fighting for the spot, which went to Harsha after
the national number-76 plate holder shoved Stanley out of the way.
Further back in the pack was Jeff Hiatt, followed by Jeff Annen and Chris Fitzhugh, both of
whom had to start in the penalty area after jumpIng the start. Hiatt controlled the battle for fourth,
while Annen barely edged Fitzhugh for fifth at
the finishIn the Pro-Am final, Moran jumped to the
head of the field and, much like Fay, ran away
with the race. This left Randy Patterson to chase
down Moran in a battle for first place in the
series, in which Moran had to win and Patterson
had to finish third or better. Patterson's secondplace ride netted him the Northwest Championship Series win, while third went to Mark Patterson, ahead of Steve Pmczinski and Willie
Halbert.
AMA ational 80cc Champion Jake Holden
ran away with the 80cc A main, much like he has
done all season. Holden edged out archrival
Chris Waite for the win. However, Waite will
wear the number-one plate for the District next
season in the class. The surprise, though, was
third-place finisher Brad Smith, who edged seasoned 80cc riders Matt McCoy aod Scott Houseman at the finish.

Ryan wins, loses at Oatfield MX
By Dick Archer
TURLOCK, CA, NOV. 19
Rick Ryan did all he possibly could to win th
two Pro-class series titles during the fifth and
final round of the AMP Racing/Oawson Motorsports Octoberfest '95 MX series at tJ:e O~tfi~ld,
but he fell just short of his goal despite wuuung
all four motos in the 250 and 12.5cc Pro classes.
Ryan holeshot moto one of the 250cc Pro
class with athan Woods and Jim Oay chasing
him in vain. Woods stayed close for a while but
Ryan was going strong and motored on for the
win. Woods held on for a solid second, and
series points leader Oay secured a dearly needed third-place finish.
In moto two, things looked quite a bit different as they rounded the crest of turn one. Dustin
Bloom£eld Jed the pack as they blistered onto
the track with Woods in second, Clay in third,
and Ryan stuck back in fourth. Bloomfield set
the pace as the four streaked around for many
laps just a few bike lengths apart. With two laps
to go, Ryan started to make his move closing in
on and passing Clay. All four nders were still
very close when Bloom£eld smelled victory and
started to pull away with the lead. Ryan saw he
was running out of time and quickly overtook
Woods for second.
On the la tlap, Ryan moved in for the kill on
Bloomfield, passing him on a downhill straight.
Ryan railed the last few corners and took the
win. Bloomfield hung on to second and Clay
managed to pass Woods for third which ga.ve
him enough points to win the 250cc Pro senes
title.
Ryan would repeat his 250cc performance in
the 125cc Pro class as well, but Jason Jenkins
amassed enough points to claim the series title.
Several other battles for se.ries wins came
down to the wire.
In the 250cc intermediate ranks, Donovan
Mitchell and Craig Humphrey had traded the
points lead on a weekly basis sin.ce this series
began. Humphrey won the overall toda)' with a
2-1 effort, but Mitchell's second-place finish (1-2)
was good enough to edge out Humphrey for the
series win.
The SOcc division title chases were all decided by only a few points and came down to the
last motos. In the SOcc Beginner class, J.J. Alcantar, Matthew George and Dustin Enoch clashed
in both motos. Enoch went 1-1 for the day, but
Alcantar and George finished second and third
to secure first and second for the series. Cory
Rick Ryan swept the 125 and 250Cc Pro
divisions during the final round of the
AMP RaclngIClawson Motorsports
Octoberfest MX series at the Oatfleld In
Turlock, California.
