The battle for second heated up between Newhall and Barrick. Newhall made a clean pass, only to have Barrick blast right past him exiting a comer. The two were neck and neck over the stadium whoops, but Newhall got a little crazy and took himself and Barrick out on top of the finish-line jump. That put Uriah furtan and Valenson in second and third. Valenson passed Furton over the double-double. By now, Hilton was way too far ahead for anyone to catch him. Hilton took the win, followed by Valenson. Furton, Randy Fields and Michael Hilani. In the second moto, Hilton again earned the holeshot. Valenson, Furton and Newhall came around the first turn in a tight bunch behind him. Newhall slipped to the inside of Furtan on tum two. He tried to duplicate the move over the double-double but came up with nothing. Hilton was being kept in check by Valenson, who was able to gain ground until a bad run through the whoops brought his run to a temporary halt. At midway, the race was still up for grabs, with positions two through six all separated by one or two bike lengths. in third, Newhall was looking wild and ready to sample some fine red clay at any moment. yet he was gaining ground on Valenson. An intense battle for fourth between Furton and Fields was shaping up. Crossing the finish line with one lap to go, they were side by side, but Fields was edged out. Fields then attempted to force a move to the inside, creating a nice muffler scratch all the way down Furton's plastic, but Fields squirted past. Furton didn't have enough left to repay the favor. Newhall pinned it through the whoops after Valenson, but he dropped a tire on the last one and had to settle for third. The final running order was Hilton, Valenson, Newhall, Fields and Furton.

When the gate dropped, Hargrove took off. Heisler was relegated to fifth after a bad start. With Hargrove out front, Heisler put his head down and tried to overtake the leaders, but he could only manage to move up into third. Hargrove took the win and the overaU, followed by Davy Duprel, Heisler, Honda-mounted Marc Rudolf, and James Morrison. Duprel and Heisler met again in the Over 30 class, each taking a moto win.

In the 125cc B class, a knockdown, drag-out battle took place between Vamaha riders Eric Odom and Adam Rector. Odom bested Rector both times out in truly exciting race-long duels. In 85cc action, two more Alabama hotshoes, Chase Borders and James Ragsdale, met in both the Senior Mini and Supermini classes. Borders prevailed in the Senior Mini class. taking both moto wins; Ragsdale did likewise in the Supermini class.

Following the pair home in third was Suzuki-mounted Adam Bamett. Yet another bam-burner took place in the 125cc C class, as Vl-mounted Shane Mills faced off against archrival Dustin Gills.

TAVLORVILLE, IL, OCT. 7 With constant track changes and Dealer Dollars, the South Fork Dirt Riders venue is fast becoming one of the most popular tracks in Illinois. With a vast riffing area and a superfast track, this place truly has something for everyone, and some great weather set up a great day of racing. The 125cc C class was the biggest class of the day. In moto one, Rick Ivey took an easy win. Nathan Wall took his Kawasaki to second, followed by Robert Jones. When they lined up for mota two, first-moto winner Ivey was unable to make the call. Wall took advantage of Ivey's absence and took the moto win. Jones finished second for the mota and sec· ond overall. SoCal/Decal rider Justin Pinckard appeared to have third for the moto and third overall in the bag, but on the last lap his Suzu- (50,). 80 (12·13): 1. JltCob Monell (Yam): 2.

Close behind were Randy Valenson, Bucky Gerolamy and lack Barrick. As the leaders approached the first double, Gerolamy opted to not double it and was immedjately passed by three or four riders, Valenson challenged Hilton for the lead, showing Hilton a wheelan every corner and pulling up beside him as the two launched over the double-double. Valenson misjudged the jump and slightly cased it. taking a nasty get-off. Barrick took advantage of mistakes by Gerolamy and Valenson to take command of second. Clint Newhall was closing fast with an out-of-control riding style and wearing a T-shirt, jeans and work boots for riding gear. Hilton was beginning to check out at this point. but he almost threw it away by nosing in short on a double. Hilton managed to keep it rubber side down and roosted off. Valenson, who had remounted about 14th, was making a great comeback and was already up to sixth. South Fork Dirt Riders 50 OIL·INJ: I. Patrick Lumpkm (Yam); 2. Cody Holmes (Yam).
