The Hock easily won the 360 Expert, and was deep in the pack in the 250 Expert with a not-so-hot running Ossa that was led around by usual winner Don Bailey. Hocking didn 't getthe lead until the halfway mark of the 360 Expert 15 lapper, as Rick Delacy led the first seven laps over Steve Eklund and Bailey. Oh yes. whenever Eklund is around he ' usu ally works out this track as do a dozen others when the timeis r igh t.
