sao OPEN, 1. Spence>- PIn!ly a second· or third-place Expert when he was
on a 250cc, Spurlock has found the extra speed
to win after stepping up to the big-bore.
Heavy rains three days before the race left
the course almost perfect. The moist sand gave
way to deep whoops in the woods, while some
nasty creek crossings kept the riders guessing
whfch line was safe.
A creek crossing less than a mile from the
end of the loop would prove to be a nightmare
for some who took the wrong rut and ended up
stuck in tank-deep mud. Four laps around this
course was enough for anybody.
Spurlock and Chris Tucker quickly found
their way to the front of the large Expert class.
While Spurlock raged around the track, Tucker
kept pace in his effortless ridjng style that has
earned him multiple wins this seasort..Spurlock
feU on lap three, allowing Tucker to pass. Shortly thereafter, Tucker tangled with a Iapper and
crashed, handing the lead back to Spurlock. who
rode a mistake-free final lap to win a short distance ahead of Tucker.
Eric Hillhouse and Bobby Southard were
waging their own battle behind the leaders, with
Hillhouse stealing third just seconds before the
checkered flag.
The Over 30 Expert class was led off the line
by Louis Blackwell and Mike Sullivan, with John
Davis hot on their heels. The three remained in
that order for most of the race as Sullivan looked
for places to pass Blackwell, and Davis rode
hard to stay with the leaders.
Sullivan, known for his mastery of this track,
blasted around the outside of a turn to take the
lead on the final lap. At the finish, he and Blackwell rode wheel-to-wheel while Davis finished a
distant third.
