disappoint the crowd. Mike Devlin shot
for the inside and th e lead .p ast Tim
. Melancon but Tim McWhorter gassed it
and really had a drive going. It was no
go though and he 'couldn 't catch Devlin
but Eddie Lawsoncame up for second.
The Novice Main was Eddie Lawson
from the start, the bike perfonning
perfectly. Mike Devlin gave chase with
Dan Mullins righ t after. As lap s went
down Don Grigsby broke ou t of the
pack and started moving up. Devlin
unloaded in tum four in a classic
highside and then Mullins got o ff in tum
three. Tim McWhorter was having bike
problems and c;ouldn't kee p the pace.
Grigsby moved right along to second
and the Novice point lead, with Wyatt
Scroggins third and Dale Reed fourth.
The big bikes roared off the line and
it was Morrison leading, quickly passed
by Scott Pearson, then Davidson,
Eklund, Foster and Dorsch. A battle
developed between
Morrison and
Davidson while Pat Guthrie had to retire
around lap six with a single cylinder
Triumph. Davidson moved to third
while Jorgy fans were watching him and
th at magnificent Norton move right
along toward the front from his last
place starting position.
D avidson went low under. Morrison
and they were running side by side at
times. Pearson overdid it but hung on
somehow to third. And here came
J orgy! With five laps to go, he started
picking them off. Many times it was a
blanket race as neither Morrison an d
Davidson backed off. It was very busy
out there! .
On the fourteenth lap Jorgensen went
to the inside down the front chute and
calmly passed Davidson into first. Down
the back straight on that last lap Eklund
took a run at Foster but couldn't quite
do it for fourth. It was a race almost
three seconds faster than last week's
time.
