fum of the last lap to secure second. Altenhofel had already crossed the cbeckers for the win. Unforlunately, mota two became a crashfest, and bikes were scattered all over the track. YZ167-mounted Townley took the worst of the spills, endoing over a tabletop. Townley was fortunate to break only his wrist and thumb. Meanwhile, it was the same players racing it out up front. Altenhofel had again secured the lead and went w'lcontested for the wire-towire victory and overall honors. The fiercest battle on the track was for second, once again between Rodriguez and Jimenez. The rider to cross the checkers first would claim second overall on the day by virtue of the tie-breaking second mota. This time, the Pro Valve CR-mounted Rodriguez found himself under pressure from Jimenez. Jimenez made a gutsy pass in the whoop section to take second. Rodriguez was determined to reclaim second and hounded Jimenez the entire mota, waiting for Jimenez to make a mistake. Jiminez's all-out effort and mistake-free ride was rewarded with second overall on the day, and Rodriguez settled for the final podium position.

MAR. 1 Hoenshell owns Oak Hill GP DECATIJR, IX, JAN, 17 A beautiful 60-degree day greeted the riders who attended the Oak Hill Grand Prix. The warmer-than-normal winter weather was perfect for racing. Promoter Kevin HuH used almost every inch of land to squeeze in a loop that was just under four miles. The loop utilized the entire MX course, some light woods and a grass-track. Most riders enjoyed the good mix of terrain. Clay Hoenshell added another win to his record and a nice SWl'l of cash to his wallet for lking top honors in the Pro class. His margin victory was slim and not without trial. Brian cal, on a Suzuki, got the jump on the 13-rider ld and led for the first three laps. Hoenshell ~'l~placed Bacal on lap four, but his bad luck . . tar-ted two laps later. Hoenshell was using a new 3.4-gallon tank that wouJd normally handle just under 50 miles of racing. Hoenshell was forced to pit for gas twice because he was losing fuel through a loose float·bowl screw. The screw loosened up, but luckily it could not fall out because it was hitting the case. Hoenshell did not figure the problem out until his second pit stop. By then, Ardmore Kawasaki rider Eric Hillhouse had taken over first place. Bacal was not used to these long events and pulled off after lap eight because of blistered hands. It took HoensheU three laps to chase down Hillhouse after all of his pitting. Hillhouse never lost sight of HoenshelJ during those last five laps and finished a close second. Mike Abbott rode a methodical race on his Yamaha YZ400, taking third over 125cc-mounted Tod Myers. Adrian Jacobs overcame bike trouble at the starting line and came from dead last up to fifth to take the last money-paying position. 1999 - 7 : 3 0 PM Leathers 41lc. . .
