Kevin Brown (Suz), AHRMAISpeed &Sport National Vintage Motocross Series Round 2: Hard Rock Cycle Park Andrews leads Rickman rampage By Matt Benson OCALA, FL, FEB. 27 ith legendary cha is-building brothers Don and Derek Rickman serving as grand marshals for AHRMA's Bike Week 1999 events, it was only appropriate that the best racing of the day involved some Rickman Metisse-badged machines. The second round of the Speed & Sport- and Progressive Suspension-supported AHRMA National Champion-. ship series drew 400 entries to compete on a track that Hard Rock's owners worked hard to transform into a vintage-friendly yet challenging circuit. A special Rickman moto drew 11 entries ranging from Zundapp 125cc machines to earth-shaking 750cc twins. As with most of AHRMA's other Bike Week events, entries at Ocala were up substantially over previous years_ W When the gate dropped on the Sportsman Open Twins moto, a tril) of Meti ses roared to the front of the pack. In the lead was veteran racer Barry Higgins on a BSA 750-powered machine, chased by former World Trials Champion Mick Andrews using BSA 650 power and Vintage Iron's Rid< Doughty on his gorgeous Triumph 750 Metisse. Higgins, still mending from a crash last summer at a classic MX in England, gave way on the second lap to Andrews and then Doughty. On the moto's nextto-last lap, Doughty found his way around the Brit and proceeded to inch away from Andrews to the finish line. Doughty nailed the holeshot to start the second Twins moto, with Andrews' British-racing-green machine firmly fastened to Doughty'S cream-white rear fender. Some distance back, Higgins was dicing with Alex Moroz on a Yamaha 650. At the tart of the third of five laps, Andrews jammed his way into the lead, significantly heating up the battle. Andrews managed to open a small gap on lap four, but on the final time around the circuit Doughty closed the distance again in an attempt to pressure Andrews into making an error. But it wasn't to be, and Andrews' 2-1 finishes took the overall Expert win over Doughty's 1-2, while Higgins was third with a pair of third-place finishes. In the rest of the all-twins moto, Bill Fillion took the Sportsman Intermediate win over Richie Baulch in an all-Yamaha affair. Gary Davis and his Tri-BSA 650 bested Norton Pll-mounted Beno Rodi in Premier Open Twins Expert, while Dan Beher and his '60 BSA 650 claimed the Intermediate win over Randall Chieca on a BSA exactly one year newer. Andrews made the most of his trip across the Atlantic to take a closely contested win in Over 50 Expert. While leading the first moto, he broke a foot- Overall Sportman Twins Expert winner Mick Andrews (12F) chases secondoverall Rick Doughty (2Z)_ The pair traded wins In the class_ - peg on the Rickman, slowing his progress enough to allow Higgins and CCM-mounted Phil Hanford to displace him back to third_ With all parts back in place for moto two, Andrews took over from Hanford on the second lap. ext time around, Higgins snatched the lead, but that lasted just a lap, and on lap four his machine decided to take a brief rest. Behind Andrews was a close race for second involving Maico 450-mounted jean Ramsay, Hanford on his CCM 608, and Claude McElvain on a BSA Victor. Hanford's 2-3 finishes earned him second overall to Andrews, while Ramsay was third with 5-2 placings and McElvain took fourth for the day with 4-4 finishes. In the very next race, Over 30 Expert, john Hanford hopped on his dad's 1974 CCM thumper to earn a pair of narrow wins over Allan Jaggard's Honda 250. Though the racing was tight in both motos, no one else was quite as consistent. Third went to Eamon Massett with 7-3 finishes, while Alex Krisher wa fourth with a 6-4 record. The Over 30 Intermediate win went to Rick Demetrovich, who traded moto wins with Mark Mackay. Jaggard got his overall win in the big Over 40 Expert class. In the first moto, the Canadian had to work his way into the lead past the likes of Colorado rider Morrill Griffith on a Yamaha 250, Maico rider Benny Durrough and David Ellis's Yamaha YZ360. Jaggard led moto two from tart to finish, followed by john Deemer on a Maico and Ellis. In the overall tally, it was Jaggard with 1-1 finishes over Ellis's 3-3 and Griffith's 2-4 placings.
