Yamamoto was the lucky recipient of the $1000 payoff for winning the Open Pro main event, while Wick became the winningest rider in Kootenai Fairground's history with his fifth-in-arow 500cc win. 'Strong (Seattle Hon/Simpson/ Han) took the lead on the start of the 250cc Pro main event and led the 12rider final down the power-robbing straight, which is infamous for taking its toll on 250s. Strong had to fend off Rusty Yamamoto (Yam), Novice Clint Baskett (Han) and Idaho Juniors Kelly Perkins (Hon)and Rodney Reynolds (Kaw). Strong pulled away at a starting pace toward the later stages with Yamamoto holding steady second. Strong took the $200 to win with Yamamoto, Perkins, Reynolds and Washington's Todd Haggman in pursuit. Wick had the track wired. Randy Green drove all night and was pumped about the possibility of upsetting Wick, but instead found himself chasing Wick at the start of the 500cc Pro
