By Neal R. Thomas
MILTON, Fl. OCT.3
Hea th H arrison a nd Bla ke Barr p u t th e fou l
weather of Hurricane Geo rges behind them and
hea d ed to West Flori da MX in Milton , w he re
they blew thro ugh the com petitio n to score class
wins in Pee Wee D an d 80cc D on an extensively
reworked track.
Ha rrison looked. st rong in the Pee Wee D
heat race, wh ere he ended. up seco nd to Frankie
Butler on a four-stroke Honda. Butler nabbed
the holeshot, with Tr ey Quinn a nd Harrison
close behind him. Harrison fell in two hairpin
turns and had trouble in the sandy turns as welt
bu t he stor med through the w hoop ~ectio n,
which hel ped him wo rk his way up to second at
the finish . He was sandwiched by ",,"inner Butler
an d third-placed Qu inn .
Dy lon Beesley absconded wit h the holesh ot
in the Pee Wee D main, but in the seco nd tu m
Harrison mad e a move aroun d the outside to
bum Beesley an d Butler at the same time . Harriso n look ed stro ng a gain, as he dom ina ted the
w hoo p section just as he ha d in the heat race.
Butler was riding smoothly an d running a good
pace, an d it looked like he mig ht catch Harrison,
but he was held up for a few secon ds as tire pa ir
came through lapped traf fic. This ga ve Harrison
breathing room for the rest of the long mo to. He
hammered. away and came home firs t, wi th But·
ler seco nd and Qui nn th ird. An thony Salas took
fourth, even though he had wha t looked like a
painful crash with Bt..'"t."5ley early in the mota.
Barr pulled away to cont rol the 80cc D heat
ra ce after pa ssing quick sta rt er Orner Hel ms
early in the race. Subsequently the action was all
behind him . Douglas McCoy , who is nephew to
local track legend Earl McCo y, ended up second
after a heated sid e-by-side battle with Helms,
wh o finished third.
