By Matt Benson
LEXINGTON, OHIO, JULY11
ot only ha s Dav id Boyd stun of
AMS Racing in Tempe, Arizona,
ridden every round of the 1999
AHRMA/Speed & Sport National Vin-
1£
tage MX Series, bu t he's also wo n each
a nd every moto in th e tou gh Classic
500cc Expert class. The 1967 Hu sqvarn a
rider' s record in the Clas sic 250cc divisio n is much less impress ive - he's won
"only" 14 of 16 motos.
The Boydstun jug gern aut rolled on at
Mid -Ohio , where th e more th an 400
entries were gr eeted by a fast but technical course designed by Dick Mann and
laid out in the rolling infield area. Despi te
judicio us wa tering , d us t was a bit of a
problem . Then again, any temporary race
course used by so man y motor cycles is
likely to get dusty under a July sun.
In both Classic 500cc mot os , Boyds tun h a d hi s 360cc Husky o u t front
quic kly, leaving the handlebar-banging
to eve ryo ne else. The opening moto saw
Steve Tucker ge t the best of fellow BSA
rid er Paul Havir, but trouble in the second moto d ropped Tucker to fifth overa ll, as H a vir ' s co nsis te nt 3-2 fi nishes
earned h im second for th e d ay . Mi ke
Z im me rman was th ir d overall o n h is
BSA 441. Craig Campbell man handled
his '65 Triu m p h 500 twin to a p air of
In t er m ed ia te- d i v is ion w ins, w hile
Husky fana tic Craig Como ntofski tu rn ed
in 2-1 finishes to take the Novice hon ors.
Classic 250cc Expert featu red much
the same cas t of characters, with Boydst un agai n running off fro m the field .
The closely matched Havir and Tucker,
again on BSAs, took tu rns finishi ng seco n d, and it was Havi r ta kin g h ome
anot her seco nd-place plaque.
Ha d the cylinder on his 73 Honda
250cc Elsinore not loosened in the first
Over 30 Expert rno to, Larry Witmer of
Elkhart, Ind ia n a, mig h t ha ve bested
Boydstun's day by wi nni ng three class es . As it was, WitfCler hamme red h is
wa y to victory in the Expert div ision of
Sportsman 250cc and Over 40 and third
in Over 30. In the Sportsman and Ov er
40 classes, Maico 450- mou n ted John
Deemer played runner-u p to Witmer's
keep-it-pinned ridin g sty le. Witmer's 7-1
fini shes in Over 30 put him in third
everall behind Don Lewis's 1-2 and Tom
Bellarnv's 2-3.
Als~ doubling on the day was Vintage Iron 's Rick Doughty, who wa s
undefeated in Premier 500cc and Sportsman Open Twins Expert on a pair of
gorgeous machines. The only pressure
Doughty felt was in the second Premier
moto, as Brad Kennard 's ' 64 BSA B40
hounded the BSA Gold Star-mounted
Californian. Corky Root, riding another
840, earned second overall to Dou ghty
with 2-3 finishes to Kennard's 4-2.
Bob Frederick (Spo rtsman 50Dec and
Over 30 Novice) and Wayne Rantz (Premier Lightweight and Sportsma n Open
Tw ins Novice) were the d a y ' s o ther
tw o-class win ners. .
There was some excellen t racmg - and
a good bit of racing's unpredictability in th e Ov er 50 In term ed iat e class. The
first moto op ened With a battle for the
lead between Mai co 450-mounted Gig
Hamilton , Karl Papenhagen on a Pent on
400, and Kim Armstrong aboard a 440cc
Maico. But then Chuck De Ran charged
up to the lead with his Yamaha 360 and
hung on to win over Hamilton, Papenhagen, and Lou Snedden on a BSA 850.
De Ran didn't make mo to two. This
tim e it was CZ 380 rider Don Mathys,

who wres tled th e w in a way fro m
Ha mi lton, wit h Sne d den crossing the
line in third after holding second for a
tim e . Hamilton 's consis te ncy earned
him the overa ll, ahead of Ma thys' 5-1
p la ci n gs, Sned d en's 4- 3 and Papen hagen' s fourth overall after 3-5 finis hes .
Elmar Kruza and his Ossa Pha n tom
emerged victo rious after close racing in .
the "A" spli t of th e h uge Sp ortsman
250cc Inte rmedia te class . Ma rk Mackay
rode his Hond a to the o peni ng-moto
win, pursued by Ossa rid er Wesley
Miller and Kruza. The seco nd race was a
three-way, lead -swa p ping b a t tl e
between Mill er, Kr u za a nd CZ racer
Chris Richar d son . When the checkered
flag waved, it was Kruza h old ing the
coveted position ahead of Miller and
Richardson - and tha t's how they ended
up in the overall results as well.
