Early leaders Frankie Garcia and Lonnie
Pauley were di splaced by the hard-charging
McBee, who led the last 10 laps of the 12lap feature. Garcia passed by Pauley, but he
patiently waited for just the right moment ~o
repass him for second. In th e lat e laps Garoa
broke away from Pauley by a few feet, but
he wasn't close enough to make: a serious
ch allenge on McBee. Extra effort by Andy
Tresser earned him a late pass over Pauley
and at the checkers the order was McBee,
Garcia , T resser and Pauley.
Another hard l2 -lap final for Open Expert
class riders drew nine entrants. The dash to
th e first turn resulted in a hol eshot for Garcia,
but-by the next tum Tresser was in th e lead .
The battle lor the lead saw several near passes
by Garcia. but Tresser held firm. On th e fifth lap Pat McDaniel fell with no o the r riders
getting involved. then on lap seven a tworider spill in vol ving David Freeze a!' d Da!'ny

be boxed in a nd Kirkpatrick went aro u nd
Mill er o n th e oUlside and. stayed in front to
