Kerr chief of Village Creek MX By Deb Hershman FORT WORTH, TX, FEB, 6 Village Creek Motocross hosted its annual Super Saturday race and gave local racers a sneak preview of their new track layout. In the SOcc Open Amateur contest, Jonathan Kerr tore around the new track, claiming victory in all four of his 80cc Open motos. After a fourth-place start in mota one, Kerr's fellow minibike rider Brandon Fulton rebounded in mota two wjth a solid start that had him riding shotgun to finish second overall, Riley Kurosky rode hard in mota one and repeated his perforrna.nce in mota two for fhird overall. Fourth overall came, down to a hard-fought battle between Brian Starnes and Cody Drewek. Drewek claimed fourth in mota one after getting around Starnes on lap two, almost overtaking third_placed Kurosky, However, Starnes shot off the gate and held fourth to the checkers in moto two, ahead of Drewek. . Marshall Smith won the 60cc (7-9) event when he grabbed the holeshot in both motos and held the lead by covering the inside tines, In mota one of the Over 40 event, Craig Cordes won, but he had to work hard for the overall win in moto two when Jeff Haney and Lester Knight' stepped up their performances. Knight took the early lead on laps one and two, Both Cordes and Haney passed Knight on lap three, and a battle ensued for first place, with Cordes grabbing the checkered flag by guarding his lines and blocking Haney's attempts at passing on laps three and four, Brandon Seidler ,had the winning edge in the 60cc (10-11) dass, Seidler fought his way to dual moto wins by fending off Taylor Knight, who pursued Seidler in both motos. Howev.er, in mota two, Matthew Cqrnelia jumped out to an early lead and Seidler shadowed Cornelia's trail until lap three, when Seidler passed Cornelia at the triple before the finish line and squeaked across the line half a bike length in front of Cornelia, The hottest race of the day was mota one of the 12Scc Open dass, which started with Geoff Mayfield and Scott Hershman battling for the lead. Mayfield ran three laps with Hershman breathing down his back, The lead then continued to switch several times while the two increased their distance from the rest of the field, Hershman flew over the top of Mayfield in the infield triple and then Mayfield regained the lead, leading back to the Supercross turn before the new giant tabletop, Hershman grabbed tI,e ' lead and made it stick, A hard but brief shower before mota two changed track conditions, and Hershman jumped out~mto the lead witl, a slingshot-style holeshot. He continued to increase his lead to 30 seconds by the end of the race. Results 5Q (4-6): 1. Tyler Cummings (Cob); 2. Rt'id Miller (Cob); 3. Trey Phillips (KTM); 4. Tyler Heemsbergen (KTM); 5.

Hoenshell wins TCCRA opener By Gayle Culpepper BRIDGEPORT, TX, FEB, 21 The 1999 Texas Cross Country Racing Association season opener w.as. held at Pecan Flats, located near Bridgeport, Texas, The track layout was fast and conditi.ons were great. Last year's Pro-class state champion, Team Green's Clay Hoenshell, led the Pro class, which saw 20 riders line up on the starting Une, all gunning for a piece of the $1200 purse, Normally the purse money is $800, but race promoter Scott Stidd convinced outside sponsors to kick m some more money to make the Pro race a little more interesting, Hoenshell nailed another holeshot and led the class around the first turn, where bar-to~bar action saw a few Pro riders hit the dirt. Runnerup honors went to Australian newcomer Pete Rettke, and third went to Dean Lane. Rounding out the top five were Donnie McMillon and David Culpepper, The Expert-class overall went to Danny Oznick, who graduated from the Mini Expert class just a year ago. Oznick made the switch from a CR80 to a KX50 and convincingly won tI,e 250cc Expert class. Oznick started the race in tlUrd place and quickly passed Nathan Bads and Jeremy Cox to move into first. By the time Oznick took the checkered flag, he had stretched out ~ three-minute lead over second-place finisher Eads, Finish times indicated Oznick would have placed seventh in the Serni...P ro class. In the ~-Pro class, top honors went to Brent Shaw, who came from fifth place on lap two all the way to the front to score his first victory in this class. The Amateur overaJl we~t to Jimmy Terry, who won the 250cc Amateur class aboard a YZ250, Alan McJ unkins scored the first win of bis rating career in the Four-Stroke lnter.mediate dass, McJunkins took the lead from the start and was never d1allenged on his way tet victory. Last year's Women's Expert state champion, Shannon McKamy, successfully defended her title by ~inning her race by a sizable margin. The Women's Expert class included a newcomer from California, Christine Ogren, who entered the race aboard a YZ400. McKamy took the holeshot. Ogren went down, taking Tracy Kisor down with her. Both riders remounted and Ogren found her way to second place by the end of the first lap, but by this time McKamy was already out of sight. Kisor worked her way up through the pack and took over· second place on the final lap and held it to the checkered flag, Results AM BEG: I. justin Byers (Hon); 2. Kevin Arnold (Hon); 3.
