the mota, but managed to recover and held on
for the win. Honda of Flemingsburg's Jason
Edmond finished second, with Adams third.

was bearable, the second round brought out the
riders' desire as only the diehards survived.
The Over 30 class was one of the largest
classes of the day as a very competitive group of
riders took on the mostly natural-terrain track.
Holland put his big CR500 out front early, as the
SVR circuit is one of his persona] favorites and
he is a contender any time he races here.
Veterans Jon Schmitz and George FanelH
battled Holland throughout the day, with
Schmitz eatning the moto--one win while Holland took second over Rich Sweat# leaving
Fanelli in fourth.
In moto two, Holland moved to the front
quickly. Fanelli put in a steady ride to take second, while Schmitz wound up third and second
overall in the deteriorating conditions.
Schmitz had a busy day as he prevailed over
Holland in the Over 25 class and later battled in
the combined Pro class to take third behind the
Davis brother>.
In other Vet action, Barry Mayo duked it out
with Ken Frankenberry in the Over 35 division,
with Mayo picking up the second-mota win and
the overall. Mayo also took the Over 45 win,
while Frankenberry took the Over 40 win in
preparation for heading ta California for the Vet
Nationals.

SACRA..\1EmO, CA, OCT. 13
Audrey Drachman scored a double win at the
11th round of the NCMRRA Championship at
Prairie City SVRA in the highly competitive
ovice Supen;port dass and the Women's class.
Her Novice Supersport victory earned her
enough transfer points to move into the
Ad vanced classes.
The NCMRRA events use a tw()-hea~ one-main
format The combined heat-race results detemtine
starting positions for the U-Iap main event
The main saw Drachman lead the charge
into the first corner. Rob White and David
Helmick broke loose from the field to chase the
leader. Directly &ehind the front trio, David Muffett, David Potts and Chris Siebenhaar battled
. with Tim Clayton. On lap four, the race was redflagged when Oayton high-sided and became
entangled in his bike. After some disassembly,
the bike released Oayton and he retired to the
pits witr ice packs and a new appreciation of
track worker> who work quickly with hand tools.
Drachman again got'" strong start off the
grid and led into the sweeping first tum, but this
time hite and Helmick were within striking
distance. White used Drachman's lines to draw a
bead on the leader. With a strong drive off the
final chicane, he was able to tay in Drachman's
draft down the straightaway and locked onto
the leader throughout the stadium chicane:
On lap eight, White made his move to the
outside. His drive was deva tated by a near
high-side. While bulldogging his out-of-control
bike, he relinquished his position to Hellmick,
who slipped below him.
Helmick was on the attack now, cutting away
at Drachman's lead. Drachman won by a bike
length with Helmick second and White third.
The Women's main event had Drachman
starting at the pole position and taking the
holeshot Kathy Reilly, Barb Landry, Laura Douglas and EI White scrambled for positions.
Landry made her bid for second on lap seven,
drafting Reilly down the front straight, taking
the outside line and passing on tum one. Drachman stretched her lead over the field and took
the checkeced flag for the win.

Tiearney tops Fernley MX
By Bob Fabel
FERl'ILEY, NY, OCT 20
Nathan Tierney outraced the rest of the 125cc
Junior class in round two of the six-round Sandmaster n series, which drew over 200 riders to
Fernley lnternational Raceway.
"This is the biggest tumoul.of rider> that we
have had in many years," said Jeff McCollum,
president of the Reno Over the Hill Gang.
The course was basically the same as the
week before. in rou.nd one, but was run in the
opposite direction. A special $20 rebate was
offered to first-time riders again, and nine new
riders were welcomed.
When the 12Scc Junior class blasted to the
first tum, it was rookie Drake McElroy in the
lead, followed by Tieamey, Freddy Wiechers
and Sedanna 5tillmock. Casey Smith, in his first
Junior race after being bumped from the 125cc
Beginner class, was rudely welcomed as he had
to pick himself up in the first tum to try and
catch up with the rest of the class.
McElroy led for the first few laps and Tiearney stayed close. Travis Vizino and Ryan Leyba
battled ove.r third. AJl the riders were on the gas
and clearing the big tabletop. Tiearney tried
McElroy on the outside before the Mount McElroy jump, but was not allowed.
Tiearney tried again at the finish-line jump
at the start of lap three, but McElroy held off the
charge until Tieamey got inside on the sweeper
turn after the big tabletop. Tieamey began
pulling away and it was Wiechers' tum to wack
over McElroy. Wiechers snaked by on the inside
line of a turn in the back half of the track.
Tieamey had established a big lead and was
styling for the crowd while Wiecher> rode in a
secure second. Leyba caught up to McElroy in
the next-to-last lap, but McElroy held. him off
until the white flag. Leyba worked past McElroy
for third, but two turns later his front wheel
washed out in the sand and he went down.
McElroy went around him to finish third and
Leyba remounted to finish fourth.
The rider> jammed into the fir>t tum in mota
two. Tiearney came out leading with Wiechers
in second and Vizino third. McElroy was behind
at the first tum and sUd out in tum two, trying
to make up for the bad start.
Wiecher> passed Tieamey.and began to pull
a lead. Vizino held off Leyba for the first two
laps, but Leyba passed him on lap three. Wiechers and Tieamey had set a very fast pace and
were beginning to catch the 125cc Intermediates
who had left on the first gate.
Tieamey pulled back up to Wiechers, and
the two aggressive Junior> caught up to Intermediate rider Jason McNeil. who low-sided in front
of Wiechers, and both riders were down. Tiear·
ney moved by the pile of riders and bikes and
stretched his lead to the finish.·
Leybe also got past Wiechers before he got
going again. Wiechers started to catch back up
to Leyba and got close, but the checkered £Jag
waved and he finished in third.
