respectively. Faria was the fastest away at the
start and he moved up behind Bennett, who was
quickly deposited to the back of the pack. It took
Faria until the end of the fourth lap to reel in
Ferris, who was also passed by Sisemore and
Bast before the checkered flag came out. Once
Faria passed erris and the white flag, he rode
unchallenged to the win on his Phil
Roome/ Arai/Off Beat Productions-supported
GM. Kossuth, who was riding despite a nasty
spill with Matt Becker in their Handicap semi,
finished fifth, and Bennett took fourth.

Rassa and Orr storm
Antietam Motocross
By Jerry Athey
HAGERSTOWN, MD, MAY 17
Kemp's Racing's lay Rassa and )T Motorsports'
Ted Orr were the big winners at the )T Motorsports Top Gun Shootout, round five of the Dis-
trict 7 Expert Motocross Series, held at Antietam
Motorsport Park. The Honda-mounted Rassa
put togeU,er six perfect motos to take the overall
wins in the 250cc A, Open A and Over 25 A
classes, while Orr, who is the djstrict's reigning
Open A and Vet A champion, charged to the
overall win in the Vet A class with a convincing
,-, ride aboard his Suzuki.
The Open A-class action began with Rassa
blasting to the first-moto holeshot, chased by
Brian Sullivan on a big-bore-kitted ]T Motorsports Suzuki, Diamond Motorsports Yamaha
riders Joseph Schueler and Chris Brown, and
Chad Gouchenour, aboard a trick Honda XR.
Rassa used the clear track to his advantage and
immediately started to pull away from the balUe
for second that was developing between Sullivan, Schueler and Brown. With Rassa out front,
Schueler moved by Sullivan for the runner-up
position. Disaster struck Brown at the halfway
point when the YZ400F rider stalled and had
trouble restarting his bike, surrendering the
fourth spot to Gouchenour, who would also'
eventually pass Sullivan on the last lap to t:ake
an impressive third. Rassa sailed to the mota
win, followed by Schueler, Gouchenour, Sullivan, and Kawasaki rider Joseph Bartlett, who
made an aggressive charge into the top five late
in the mota.
Ra sa asserted his dominance in the second
moto as he again charged to the holeshot, thjs
time followed by Sullivan and Fredericktown
Yamaha's Ian Riley. Rassa went on to take the
uncontested moto victory and the overall win.
Sullivan was second overall with his strong and
consistent ride, followed by Joseph and Chris
Schueler. Riley, in his first race appearance o(
the season, rounded out the top five overall
As the title sponsor of the event, ]T Motorsports' owner, Orr, took it upon himself to carry
the torch (or his shop, as the former aMonal
MX pro and defending District 7 champion
blasted to a perfect 1-' score in the Vet A class.
Yamaha-mounted Todd Stith was solid in second, taking th.e runner-up position in each moto.
Third overall went to Suzuki speedster Pat
McCormick, followed by consistent rides from
David Bittner, also aboard a Suzuki, and Hondamounted Bryan Miner.
