Rettke repeats at
Zars Ranch Hare Scramble
By Chris Bailey
FLORESVlLLE, TX, JAN. 31
Australian Peter Rettke reeled in a second consecutive Overall A-elass win at round two of the
1999 AMA Texas Championship Hare Scramble
Series. Following the monster AA-class turnout
at the series opene,. 19 AA competitors showed
up to do battle on another picture-perfect 75degree Texas winter day.
Rettke shook things up right off the deadengine start by pulling the holeshot over Texas
legend Dean Lane. While the rest of the AA class
fought through the blinding dust, Rettke and
KTM pilot Lane pulled out to a comfortable lead
by the end of the first lap on the tight and technical 7-mile course. Rettke then put the hammer
down and set s.:,i1 to a two-minute victory over
Lane.
Clifford Goertz showed why he has owned
the AA-dass championship for the last two
years. Less than five minutes before the start of
the two-hour afternoon race, Goertz's YZ250
suffered a major motor problem at the starting
line. Without any time to consider an alternative, Over 50-class champion Bobby Reynolds
stepped forward and offered Goertz his new
CR250 to race. Goertz was given one minute to
ride his new motorcycle up and down the start
straight to get ready for the start. Not only did
Goertz prevail, he finished a solid fifth overall
and one position ahead of Bert Reynolds. Lynn
Bailey rounded out the podium, with Cody
Potts hot on his tail for fourth overall.
Overall B-class winner Michael Carlton
enjoyed his first b;g victory in just his second
race out of the Junio' Boys class. The young and
talented rider from southeastern Texas railed to
a hard-earned victory, putting the competition
away early and winning with a three-minute
margin over an equalJy talented Andrew Trousdale.
The overall C-clasS victory went to Andrew
Davis, who took the checkered flag over David
Turnage by one minute.
The most impressive story of the day came
out of the 44-rider-strong Open C class, as Lacy
Thompson emerged from a four-kick start to finish in fifth place after an hour of racing. Lorie
Whitmire pushed her way through the boys to
settle on a 12th-place finish. Kawasaki rider
.Chris Jesperson roosted away with the 60cc win,
and Chad Goertz showed the rest of the 50cc
class nothing but the tamights, claiming firstplace honors.
