Rob Pfetzing, took the other semi
over Jim Sisemore. Local Walt Farnum had the race won, but lost it on
the (i na I bend and destroyed thr e

The Handicap main rekindled
visions of last veal' a onlv one 30yard line rider n-iade the maIn -Scot t

down around turn two and bringing
out a red f1a,g-. TIll' second time, Ed
Castro passl'd everyOJl(' quickly and
built a uuge lead. He led Faria by '10
