H o nda righ t behind as they bo th
pulled away from th e field. The
Screamers grad ually o u tdista nced
Bob Lunsford 's North west H o nda ,
and by la p 28 they were one lap
ahead. No rt hwest soon managed to

la p s, Scream had again p u t them a
lap down.
Du ri ng the seco nd hour, Scream
put a second lap on Northwest while
they pitted, but Northwest passed
Scream back to unlap th emselves by
o ne. Northwest continued to hang
tough until the fifth hour when they
took the lead wh ile Scream pitted
with tire trouble.

Even was bein g caught by Gleason
a t abo u t six to eight seconds a la p
