temperatures up to 36 d egrees: all of the
sn ow was gone and a new course had been laid
out.
It wa s Gary Homonick getting away clean
w ith the holeshot in the Novice class, followed
by Greg Slezak. Bill McCarthy and Jim Kalman but Honda-mounted Kunte was providing mos t
of the excitement. At the end of the firs t lap,
Kunte went through the sco ring shed in ninth
place. But he was a man on a mission, passing
fou r riders on the second lap, which moved him
up to fifth place. Then, on the third lap, he
mane uvered himself around Dan Ell is and
Kalman, moving him into third place. Kunte
then set his sights on McCarthy, cutting him off
in a deep ru t. Kunte then wen t right after race
leader Homonick, who had found it smooth sailing out fron t all this time. By the end of the fifth
lap, Ku nte took over the lea d and jus t p u lled
away for a superb win.
The Senio r B class provided some very competitive action. Bill Mosher p ulled the holeshot,
w ith Eric Heinecke, Joe Arcesi and Dave Kanney
in tow . Kann ey was the man wh o made the first
move for the lead , but that was short-lived as
Arcesi found a bu rst of ene rgy and shot by up
the lon g straigh taway in to the woods. Arcesi
and Kan ney traded positions back and fort h
until Kanney fell, and an ever-consistent Arrest
won, with a steady Heinecke finishing second.
