of Sailors . On th e last lap Sailors
, found a smoo th line close to th e edge

positions to tak e over first. The top
five con tinued to swa p positions
several times with Erb eventuall y
taking th e win over Sibell , Edwards,
J eff Fine and Strangio.
Second-mote acti on saw Erb again

and Sibell . Fine quickl y worked hi s
way past Strangio on a rough downhill, and shor tly after being passed
by Fine, Strangio fell back to sixth,
moving Sibell to fourth.
Up front Erb and Edwards started
to go at it with neither rider giving
