By PAM CARR
MAYFLOWER, AR, SEPT. 12
th no rain at all in September, round eight
of the Arkansas Hare Scrambles Cham pionship Series promised to be a dust bowl. Nevertheless , the promoter had laid ou t a wonderful
8-mile tl"ack cons isting of everyt hing fro m tight
woods to grasstracks . A few hills w ith ro cks
gave some riders fits, bu t nothing could stop
Tonyjoiner kom taking the eve nt overall.
More than a doze n M riders headed into
the d usty first tu rn to see who wou ld have a
clear pat h ahead . Yama ha/ Marshall's
Racing/Moose ride r joiner took the ho leshot
an d le d the way fro m t here . Beh ind him ,
second-placed Hayden Moore had to battle the
dust. Kawasak i Sports Ce nt er's Brian Sander
was third into the woods.
At the end of the first lap, jo iner had pu lled
a 30-se co nd lead on Honda jockey Moore.
Sanders was fighting his way thro ugh the d ust
to stay as close as possible , but he was o ne
minute down behind joiner.
"I tried to go as fast as I cou ld, but the dust
was just too bad to see anything," Sanders said.

Air -sponsored Chad Echols came fr o m a
midpack start up to fourth.
"When the pack started to sprea d out, th e
dust wasn 't as bad , and I was ab le to make a
couple of moves rorward ," Echols said.

Echols company.
After the second lap , jo ine r had pulled a
minute lead over Moore. With lappers stMting
to become a facto r, joiner now had to tackle
some dust of his own.
"I didn't have any dust at all until I got into
the lappers," joiner noted , "but even then , I
found a way around pretty fast."
Sande rs had turned in the seco nd-fastest lap
of lap two and was starting to come on strong.
The batt le for fourt h place was st ill tight , but
Echols was still holding o n to the positio n.
O n lap three , jo ine r had on ly a 50 -second
le ad o n Moo re . San de rs was in third and
catching up q uickly. Echo ls had finally gotten a
litt le breathing roo m, settling into fourth all by
himself. Bieschke and Snoo k continued to battle
for fifth; the two were passing eac h other back
and forth with o nly a second between them.
Jo ine r put some mo re distance between
himself and Moore. The real show was Sanders,
as he was making his way through the lappers,
ga ining more t ime as the lap went on . The
Fly/Koci nsk i Ra c ing/ Sco ll/ Michelin/Decal
Works-backed Sanders had turned in the fastest
lap on lap fo ur. Echols conti nued to distance
himself from Bie sc hke and Snook. With the
white flag out , the riders knew they better turn
it up if they wanted to keep the ir poSitions.
At the end, it was Joiner taking the overall
win by a little over a minute . Moore finished an
impressNe second. Sanders came from behind
to finish just right behind Moore for th ird .
