AHRMAIClassic Bike Magazine Dirt Track Series, Round 3 AHRMA's Bike Week finale By Matt Benson and Ron Winget Photo by Benson ยท A BARBERVILLE, FL, MAR. 3 HRMA's series-within-a-series Florida Triple Crown ended on the Volusia Speedway half mile under sunny skies with 147 entries and 'yet another day of tight, classic racing. As they had done at the Ocala and Daytona rounds earlier in the week, Harley-Davidson WR riders George Will and Booker Poirier continued to battle it out on their hand-shUters. But this time the outcome was dllferent. For one thing, class champ Wills finally defeated Poirier after some very close action. And for another, Craig Breckon happy to be on a "proper" flat track and not another short oval - brought his Triumph home ahead of the two Harleys. In the Oassic classes, Ken Lilly took the 250 win over Bill Berger, while in the 500/750 division, Triumph-mounted Wills ended John Plumb's two-race winning streak. Breckon crossed the line in third, ahead of Harley KR rider Rusty Lowry. Sportsman 250 belonged to the Yamaha of Plumb, start to finish, But the crowd's attention was focused on Poirier, who held down the second spot until washing out in turn three. He then embarked on a no-holds-barred power-sliding attempt to make up ground, corning up less than a wheel's length short of taking third place from Harley rider Dave Scheffer at the finish line. Brad Spencer got the Sportsman 600 win ahead of some close racing between second-place finisher David Allen and Hollywood stunt man Gary Davis. Sportsman 750 saw a pair of close contests: a battle for the lead between Mark Gibson and Plumb, decided by a wheel length in Gibson's favor, while bumping bars all race long in a dispute over third were Jack Wagner, Dennis Williams and Darrell Bryant, who eventually finished in that order. . Mike Gilkey avenged his Daytona breakdown by taking the '70s Singles win over California's Rod Lake. Former AMA Grand National contender Ronnie Rall"was on a BSA 850 in the Over 60 Super Senior class and put on a show as he ran high into the turns in full power-slide, then turned to look over his shoulder to see where everyone else was. Bill Snyder took the Over 50 Senior win. To be in the running for Florida Triple Crown Series awards, riders had to compete in all three of AHRMA's Florida Bike Week events: Ocala, Daytona and Barberville. Plumb came up the big winner, taking Classic 500/750 and Sportsman 250 honors, and second in Sportsman 750. Poirier got the Dinosaur title by defeating Wills in two out of three tries. Honda rider Brad Spencer made his trip .from California worthwhile by snagging Sportsman 600 honors, while Gibson came from Colorado to earn the 750 honors, Florida Yamaha racer Kenny Parker earned the title in '70s Singles. Bill Snyder topped the Senior standings, and William Burr' led the Super Senior field. CI/I Volusia County Speedway Barberville, Florida Results: March 3, 1999 (Round 3) DINO: 1. Craig Bredan; 2.
