th ird and fourth.
Mason rema ined coo l in the Expert
lead wi th total composure as he held
0(( hi s Kawasaki teammate.
Parker passed H ilton o n th e th ird
lap and started to reel in Sch riner. but
he got a littl e wild in a ru t, and not
even a Safety Ceet can help th at
much. By lap four , he hooked Schriner
and jammed on. Shortl y after, the
Honda rider dropped it over a jum p ,
and Hil ton slid by on the fina l lap.

j ust as th e pa ck slid by. " Wild Willie" th en took over first and left
