Bo th Mike Lupoid and Chris Smith were out to show up the usual winners. Smit h got a line start III the 3 6 0 1I1a in and relegated Manu el Cr ummett to an unusual se cond p lace fo r three laps. Crummet t hided his ti me righ : on S mitb 's rear w hee l and pushe d his way throu gh wi th an ins ide pass o n the th ird lap. C hris hel d on to finis h a strong second fo llo wed b y S ta n Searls.
