So just remember when you wake up in
the morning and head for the medicine cabinet. a little sore after a long day of mowing the
lawn or repairing the gutters, that after a hard
night of race promoting and riding three classes, Arndt is up at the break of dawn, teeing up
an 18-hole round of golf.
Without a cart.

Rock River Hillclimb
Haas Fast at
Rock River Hillclimb
By BOD NORTHROP
POLO, IL, JULY 15
The Rock River Riders' 130-foot hill near Polo,
Illinois, is always rough and tough, but it was
especially so on July 15, as only 48 of the
141 riders on hand managed to stop the
clock. The hill was badly rutted, hard and dry
as the proverbial bone - offering little or no
trection. Veteran climber Uoyd Haas, however, was not intimidated by the hill and showed
his skills with a win, two seconds. and Fast
Time of the day.
Haas' Fast Time came on his 750cc
"Kawazuki" triple - a machine he has ridden to
several Nationai Championships. "Fast Andy"
Fortner set the fast time of the first round on
his "Hondasaki" triple with a 3.737 ·second
run, but Haas sailed his screaming triple over
the top in 3.643 seconds on his second ride to
take the class win and the Fast Time 8ward.
Josh Carrier ran his Triumph over in 4.553
seconds for third place, followed by Chris
Myer and Fronk Kopetko.
Haas almost grabbed a se<:ond win as he
posted the fastest time of the first round in the
250cc class with a 4.555-second run on his
YZ250. In the second round, however, his
brother-in-law Eric Wheelwright slipped under
Haas' time with a 4.482-second run on his
Yamaha. It was certainly no rell) surprise to
anyone, as Wheelwright is the defending
National Champion in that class, having won
the titie in both 1999 and 2000. Jon Creek ron
a good 4.714-second time on his Suzuki for
third place, with Mott Peters and Chris Halverson running fourth and fifth.
Haas aiso took the first-round lead in the
Open Stock class on his YZ426F, but he had
to settie for second when Tad Hubner tossed
his Honda over the top in 4.940 seconds.
The Hackbarth family, Roger ond Paul, had
a good day as they claimed two class wins, a
second and a fourth between them. Paul was
the only rider in the 400cc class to top the hill,
doing it in 4.608 seconds on his KTM 360 for
the win. He also fiew his CR500 Honda over
the top in an excellent 3.911 seconds in the
600cc class, but he had to settle for second
place when Ed Chapell sailed his 10<500 over
in 3.874 seconds for the win. Fortner, the current points leader, had set the time to beat at
3.954 seconds on his first ride, but he crashed
at 128 feet in a full-throttle assault while trying
to retake the lead on his second ride.
Roger got his win in the Super Senior class
with a fine 5.215-second run on his Honda.
the only one in the class to top the hill. Roger
also topped the hill in the Senior class, his
5.205-second time good for fourth, as the
high-flying class leader, Randy "Rocketman"
Trosper, stretched his points lead with a
3.671·second winning ride on his Honda. CN
