expansion chamber, feU back to eighth.
Halfway through the race, Turner
went to the inside of Kirker and took
over. With four laps to go Turner had
the situation under control and headed
for back-to-back wins. Kirker took
down the second overall and third
went to Westergaard with a 4-4 ride.
Taking third for the mota was Jordan.
The Open Pros held the gate for
Turner's return to the line. When the
gate dropped it was Turner once more
in charge, and working out a beautiful
lead. Peter Snorteland and Donald
Draskovich found their own duel as
they pitted their Yamahas against
each other until Snorteland went off
the track at the top of the hill. Working his way back out, Snortdand
fought Draskovich and once more, regained second. When the finish line
loomed ahead of them, Turner led the
way with Snorteland and Draskovich
respectively.
When the machines came to life the
second time around, Draskovich led
the charge with Snorteland tight in
second and Bill Keefe piloting his
Can-Am into third. Turner in fourth
and slyly passing at every chance, took
over second and seemed destined to
make history with a triple win. With
the lead less than a heartbeat away,
Turner crashed and was out of the
running. Draskovich, fumly in control,
picked up the checkered flag and the
overall win. Snorteland brought home
a solid second with third overall going
to Keefe.
When the gate dropped in the 250cc
Pros, Turner effortlessly piloted his
Suzuki out in front. He found Scott
Gillman riding shotgun and letting
Turner know it. Snorteland and Kirker
rounded out the top four and pulled
away from the rest of the pack. Gillman dosed ground on Turner on the
flats only to find Turner escaping on
the hills. By the end of the moto Turner
and Gillman were glued to each other,
then on the last lap Gillman took command and held Turner to second.
When the second mota kicked off
Turner was back on the line, recovered
from his crash in the Open Pro race.
Grabbing the holeshot, Turner led the
pack up the hill as a tight battle for
second was shaping up between Darrel
Anderson and Juan Benavidez. Gillman, fighting off racers in every direction, took over second and set out after
Turner. Snorteland took over third
and held Benavidez to fourth. Coming
in for the final race of the day Turner
grabbed the victory, Gillman ran into
problems and was forced out of second,
leaving it open to Snorteland and
Kirker settled into third.

Soft-spoken Sid's the kind of guy who
usually lets the ladies go first. Except
when the lady is KZlOOO-mounted
Vicki Farr, Sid's runoff rompetition at
the IDBA World Finals_ In an earlier
run, she had soundly defeated Terry
Vance. And now, it was Sid's tum.
But instead of minding his manners,
Sid gunned his Z1-R. When the smoke
cleared, it was Pogue first-for the win
and the 1980 Pro Stock No.1 plate.
Of rourse, Sid's victory doesn't mean
that men are any better than women.
It just means that if you're going to beat
a Kawasaki, you gotta ride a Kawasaki.
So don't let the good times pass you by.
