Western hotline Round two saw Saxton grab the holeshot with Simons, Moscrop, Darel Francis and Whelchel in tow. Lee got out in eighth on the first lap, and had to work his way inside the top five. Sax· -ton held off Simons for the first half of the moto, but the B&G Lubricants rider soon slipped past and into the lead. Although Saxton tried to hang on in second, Simons was too much for him to handle. At that point, Saxton still had the overall win if he finished sec.ond, but Whelchel moved in from behind, and had other plans.
