Throughout their first round, Yamaha-mounted Shaw fought tooth
and nail with Honda-racer Thetford.
Keith Vensel. aboard a Kawasaki for
Kal-Gard, led the pack up the start
hill only to see Shaw and Thetford
pass him on by for fir t and second.
With Vensel holding back the field,
Shaw and Thetford were handlebar

lead. Moment later, Shaw dove into
one of the dust bowls; redaiming his

This madness repeated itself over

in control, Thetford riding hotgun
and Vensel firm in third.
In their second round of action,
Vensel once more led the way only to
be edged out by Shaw. On a roll and
shaking the winning dice, Thetford

into second. Shaw, pulling one block
