Gavin
Havin' No Losses In Amish Country

Ohio County Fairs Motocross Championship Series - Round 17
Millersburg, OH
AUG 14
Team
Green's star racer - Gavin Gracyk, of nearby Blissfield, Ohio,
showed up with his very trick
neon-green Kawasakis and without the normal horse and buggy
transportation used by many locals, though he was never short on
horsepower here in Millersburg.
Returning from a recent strong performance at
the AMA National Amateur Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn's
Dude Ranch in Tennessee, Gracyk showed
no mercy on the riders back home. Now,
the highly talented young man looks ahead to a pro career and
leaves his rich amateur history
behind. Snatching all the big money with a pair of firsts in the
125 and 250 A classes, Gracyk would
send series regular Dickie Hoy into an unsual
position - second place, as Hoy would beat all the rest of the
stacked expert classes. Donning
an Amish hat on the podium, "Buffalo" Bill Reiss was
the big hero of the old guys classes
here in Millersburg - Reiss sailed his Honda to
wins in the 30 and 40 plus classes.
