Steve Jensen got things rolling with the Novice class holeshot on his Team Junk and Bob's Used Cyclessponsored Kawasaki lOOOR Ninja. Scott Cusack took over the lead from a tiring Jensen on lap four, but crashed hard enough to bring out the red flag on lap eight. Cusack took the win with Jensen losing second to teammate Alan Lee on the last lap. No one knew what to expect when Smith took the Middleweight Su persport cl!lss holeshot on his Kawasaki 600 Ninja, but it didn't take long to see that Smith was here to win. Using some very unusual lines ·and riding right on the edge of crashing, Smith led the first four laps while being hotly pursued by another newcomer, Andrew Leisner. Leisner rode a Wood-RolaX 600cc single which Ron Wood is currently developing for sale. On lap four, John Knox got into turn 12 a little too deep and lowsided spilling some oil. Corner workers yellow flagged the corner while cleaning up the oil, but Smith maintained his pace and passed several racers. On the next lap Smith saw the black flag come out, but ignored it and raced on. After the race a heated debate between track officials resulted in Smith's disqualification. First place would have gone to Leisner, but a protest over his RolaX prototype stood, so James Cox of Nevada was awarded first place. The next race saw Smith grid his stock appearing 750 Ninja next to Kelly Byrd's Yamaha FZ750. When the green flag dropped, Smith pulled a spectacular wheelstand and led the Heavyweight Superbike class into turn one. Byrd pushed Smith hard for the next three laps as the leading pair turned very quick 1;10 second laps. Byrd led lap four, but was out of the race on lap five. With Byrd out, Smith backed off tbe pace which allowed Scott Thomas to catch and pass Smith. Smith ended up with a hard fought second place ahead of Willie Adams and Nevadan Henry Tecza. The Unlimited Superbike race saw Bob Utley lead the first two laps with his breathed on Suzuki GSXRllOO. Kelly Byrd soon forced his way past Utley as Kye Gunn, on another 1I00cc Suzuki, moved in to challenge. Gunn dispatched Utley on the next lap and closed on Byrd. The two leaders battled intensely and nearly crashed on the last lap trying to outbrake each other mto the final comer. Byrd recovered first to nip Gunn at the checkered flag. John Scott had his 750 Triumph up to· speed and led Yamaha K_VIIIS CYCI_ ~ 0".
