By the halfway point, Marty Smith held a five-second lead over Hannah with Ellis almost the same distance behind the "Hurricane." Following Smith, Hannah , Wise and Ellis at the start, Steve Stackable and Maico teammate Ga ylon Mosier had held down fifth and sixth places, and they were pursued by Tommy Croft, Tony DiStefano, Jim Pomeroy and Kenny Zahrt. J immy Weinert was in II th , just ahead of Gary Semics and Kent Howerton. While Ellis and Wise had been settling th eir dealings , Croft had closed on the Maico pair and started pushing Mosier hard . " I tried , man," Gaylon said afterward , holding his injured leg , "bu t it was just too much pain, I couldn't handle it. " Croft overtook Mosier, then set his sights on Stackable, passi ng t he tall Texan approximately nine minutes into th e race, Weinert was next to attack Sta cka ble, closing and starting his push at the halfway flags . Announcer Huffman immediately picked u p on "The Jammer's" ch arge and kept the crow d 's attention on the inevitable pass that came on the 11th lap of the 20 ·lap event. Once in front of Stackable, Weinert was in fifth , and Tommy Corft was next on his list , In sixth, Steve Stackable's paycheck took a sudden dive along with the Maico ace himself when he endoed over a fallen lapped rider. He would finish 14th, Smith was flying , and the crowd loved it. Only an error or mechanical failure could keep him from winning now, and neither happened . Both Hannah and Ellis circled ' the Superdome course neither ga ining nor losing more than a few feet. Tommy Croft, however, was feeling the heat. Jimmy Weinert, perhaps the cleverest rider on the track at worrying someone in front of him , had reeled in the distance and was putting some heavy pressure on the Team Honda rider, "He was knockin' on my doorl" Tommy said afterward, " But when you ho ld it (his position) that long, you just can't let it gol" We inert pestered Croft for the rest of the moto, but Tommy held firm and they crossed the line - Croft in fourth and Weinert fifth - nose to. tail. Sixth place went to J im Pomeroy with Kent Howert on, Fox Shox assisted privateer Mickey Boo ne, Tony D and Steve Wise rounding out the top ten. " La st week I was D-lighted ," DiStefano punned later, referring to his 250cc title victory, "bu t this week I was Dsfeared ." He'd hit Masuda's rear wheel as Koji , being lapped at the time, tried to get out of the way, Smith stood on the victory podium with promoter Rookie Leopold, trying to quench his thirst with victory champagne and thank everyone at once as an anxious herd of autograph seekers waited his descent. Marty admitted that the holes hot had made the job' a lot easier, posed with the Popeye's poster, then waded into the sea of admirers. • Results 52 FINAL: t . Mony S mith lHonI. 2.
