the lead at one time or another in both the
125cc and 250cc Pro races.
Hill, often the fastest rider on the track,
almost scored the overall victory in the 125cc
class, despite falling in moto one, and he
might have, had it not been for not another
"fastest guy on the track" . Browning. Wild
Willy had been charging all day on his Moto
Extremes Husky. Skaggs, who's always in the
mix, had problems with his YZI25 in moto two
and couldn't hold the pace of Hill and Browning. Hill won moto two, with Browning in close
pursuit, and Hilrs 3·1 finishes were good for
second overall, while Browning took the over·
all win with a 2-1 tally.
Skaggs was dynamite in the 250s, winning

ing's. though, and his 2·1 score was good for
the overall victory.
The move of the day belonged to "King"
Richard Robinson, in the Over 30 Pro class.
After placing an uncharacteristic fifth in moto
one, the King was charging in moto two, and
he wanted a win. On the last lap, he saw hjs

TROY, OH, MAY 4
The greenery is quite a sight to behold. Every
year, when Kenworthy's Motocross Park holds
its initial race, there's a lot of lawn mowing to
be accomplished. The entire circuit is a foot or
more deep in wheat grass, and those riders
who participate in the early morning practice
sessions really get to chew up the new growth.
This year, the Kenworthy family and their
club decided to add a twist: running the track
backward. A hefty crowd of more than 500
riders attempted to negotiate the newly con·
figured race circuit. With full gates and tons
of riders and more than 33 classes, the racing
was fast and furious . none more so than
in the Over 30 A class and in the talent-laden
Pro classes.
The Pro classes featured a fight of the fit
and daring, as Yamaha-mounted Nathan
Skaggs, F&S Suzuki's David Hill and David
Whitcraft, and Husqvarna·supported racer
"Wild" Willy Browning were all in the hunt for

opportunity. and he launched himself between
Kevin <;Remax" Hildebrand and Suzuki jockey
Mark Kiser, sneaking home for a win. The daring move was shocking, outrageous and brilliant; the King shrugged it off.
'" saw an opening, and I went for it,"
Robinson said simply. "Thanks to Classic
Cycles and my pit crew for working on my
bike. I'm hard on bikes - really hard."
Hildebrand wound up the victor with a
J -2 tally, with Kiser in second and the King
in third.
It was another amazing day for Prospect,
Ohio's Zach Ames. The 14-year-old Mini
superstar opted to challenge the big boys as
he tested out one of F&S Suzuki's RM250 race
bikes in the 250cc B class - a first for the
youngster. Tearing up the grassy course,
Ames jumped on three divisions of racers,
winning three classes: the 125cc B, 250cc B
and Schoolboy classes.
"I'm getting too big for my 85, and F&S
Suzuki's Ronnie Rehmert built us some fast

Over on the Pee Wee track, Jake Skinner
was cleaning up in one of the 50cc Oil·lnjecl~
ed classes, while Gunnar Flavell took the
other. Matthew Blum smoked the 50cc (7-8)
class aboard his KTM, and fast youngster Darren Walsh tackled the pack of wild youth in
the 50cc (4-6) category. Two Brothers Racing's Walker Brightwell snatched two class
victories on the short course, topping the first
65cc division and the 85cc Mini Junior class.
The other 65cc division was all about Larue,
Ohio's Austin Primavera, who won big on his
Suzuki.
