By Jim Anderson OAKHILL,TX, APR 14 WERA national champions Robert Marsh and 14-year-o ld Nicky Hayd en th rilled the stan dingroom-o nly cr ow d at Oak H ill Raceway with wheei-to-whee l road raci ng in t he CMRA's money race, Open Su perb ike. As the green flag flew so d id Team Tri-Star's Pete Martin s on hi s Texaco-H a vollne Su zuki, lead in g Marsh on his Sportbi kes of H ou st on powered Yamaha, wh o in turn was busy fendin g off th e adva nces of No rthwes t H onda 's Ronni e Lunsford . Behind Lunsford cam e Longh orn Moto rsports ' Hayd en on th e shrieki ng johnny Lander s /Red Line Oil TZ250 from his la st-row s tarting p os iti on . The leading fo ur qui ckly broke away from the pursui ng field . At the end of lap one the orde r remained the same wit h th e race rs ga u gi ng the ir co mpe titi on, search ing for an op po rtu n ity to pass. On lap three, Marsh found his way ar ound Martins as they went up the dog -leg hill lead ing in to the blin d tu m four. By th e fourth lap H a yd en fin all y go t by Lunsford on the bra kes going into tum two and immed iately began reeling in second-place Martin s. On e lap later Ha yd en had moved wi th in striking di stance, making the pass stick as they raced uphill to tum fou r a nd set hi s sig hts on For m u la One cha m pi on Marsh . By tu rn eig h t Hayd en was on Mar sh 's back tire and as they came across the start / finish line, Marsh powerwh eelied away from the wa iling TZ of Hayd en, only to have Hayd en close back up on the exit of tum one. This cat-and- mouse ga me ~onti nued w ith H ayd en trying e verything to sneak pa st Marsh bu t his every bid was de nied. Lapped ride rs then came into play, having a dra matic effect on the outco me. Hayd en d ived to the inside of two lapped riders as they we nt in to the stop-and-go tum tw o. Unfortunately for Mar sh, the obvious ly surprised lappers balked him as he attem pted get pa st and Hayd en was able to put ab out five second s on Ma rsh . Th e second·p lace rid er qu ickly mad e up the d eficit but once again tan gled with lappers while Hayden sna ked d eanl y throu gh and rode off wit h the win. Marsh held on for second with Martins and Lunsford beh ind . Wh ile Marsh was n o d oubt unhappy w ith h is se co n d- p lace fini sh th e Ya m a ha rid e r redeemed him self in oth er classes with wins in Vintag e Five, Vintag e Six and 1100 Superstock, as well as defeatin g the Form u la Th ree, Fonnula .
