board his Stephen's Sports Center
.
Kawasaki, Blair Bersano took top
honors at round nine of the AMA
.Pirelli/Moose Off-Road Mid-South
Winter Hare Scrambles Series. The
Western Trail Riders in Cadiz hosted the
race on a phenomenal track and an even
better afternoon.
Mike' Sampson on his Great Daves
TM shot into the early lead and held
first at the end of the first of five laps on
the 8.5-mile course. Bersano was second,
foUowed by Chris Nesbitt on a Yamaha
and John Maschino on another Great
Daves TM; Tim Taber on his YZ held
fifth at the lap's end. Sampson continued out front until about halfway
tbrough the second lap, when he slid
out in a turn; Bersano was there to seize
the moment - and the lead.
Bersano continued out front at the
end'of the lap - a lead he never relinguished for the rest of the race. Things
didn't exactly go as planned, though.
"On the fourth lap, I was going a litfie too fast and endoed pretty bad:'
Bersano said. "I broke my hand-saver
and front-brake lever off. That kind of
took the wind out of my sails. I managed to stay in front of Sampson,
though just barely."
Sampson closed the gap from about a
minute behind in the middle of the race
to just 10 seconds by the end, but still
had to settle for second overall. Maschino came in a respectable third behind
Sampson to make it a two-three TM fipish. Taber took fourth, and Robert
Kirschner finished fifth on his Suzuki
after Nesbitt encountered problems and
retired on lap four.
The hotly contested 250cc A class saw
Steve Gordon on his Mid States Motorsports KX speed past KTM-mounted
Chris Hicks on the fourth .lap and never
let up. Hicks held on for second.
The Vet A class also saw a great battle as Mike Cornett once again came out
on top on his Yamaha over series rival
Wade Perry on his Perry's Honda/
Kawasaki-backed KX250.
, Robert Pa tterson led the charge in the
I1our-Stroke A class on his Sarges Cycles
YZ400F. Second was filled by John Roth
on another Yamaha.
In the B classes, KTM-mounted Jeremy Kitchen and KX rider Keith Lane

MY CYCLE NEWS IS BEING DELIVERED LATE!

you do abour If?
As America's only weekly motorcycle publication. we're the only thing you get that you even realize is late!
(When was the last time you knew your monthly magazine was a week later than usualr)
Most Cycle News subscriptions are delivered via 2nd Class mail. The blIlk of what you pay for on your ant1Wll subscription is posQge.
You are paying for better dellVel)' than what you have been receiving...whyt
me
Around the beginning of 1997. the US Postal Servke reclassified aU publio.tions into what they all "Periodkals" for
purposes of delivery speed.
That means they now lump your Cycle News in with aU the monthly publications and deliver them with the same urgency (or lack of ~rgency).
All Cycle News can do on our end is get the p;tper shipped immediately after each weekend's events, and into the mail system, which we do. every Tuesdar. morning, without fail (except on weeks with a
Monday holiday. then we print Tuesday and ship your paper on Wednesday moming). After that. it's out of our hands, and you need to register your delivery complaint with the US Postal Service,l'lOt U$.
We're as frustrated as you are. and until there's some better method (at a reasonable cost) to get your
Cycle News delivered quicker, we're all stuck with the same problem.
Here are your alternatives for better service:
If you are able to pay for faster service, first-class mail delivery within the United States
for Cycle News, annual subscription price: S111.00. (Outside the US, first-class denvery
is available for S 130.00; C:lnada & Mexico are $ I25.00).
Cycle! News' toll.free. subscription hodlne Is 1-800-831-2220.
"or Register your delivery complaints with the US Postal Service via e·mail at:
customer@email.usps.gov
or, call the US Postal Service toll-free consumer hotline - 24 hours a day, seven days a week - at
1-800·ASK-USPS (l-8oo·17S-8n7).
Please keep your message brief. to the point. descriptive of your deUvery problems,
and as polite as possible. If the USPS hears from enough custOmers.
they can only pay attention and Improve their servke.
