At th e sta rt o f the 'second mot a, Kiedrowski edged out Swink en teri ng the seco nd turn to lead th e pack. McG rath had alrea dy gon e down in th e first turn wh ile Buehl and Vohland also crash ed in lUrn two. Kiedrowski led until th e second lap when he started to slow with a flat rear tire . Swink was th e only rid er to pa ss him on lap two, but both LaRocco a nd Co oper got by one lap lat er. Kiedro wski struggled on for several laps, slowly slipping back until he sto pped in th e mechanics area to cha nge rear wheels. " .I stopped and gas was pouring out everywhere," said Kiedrow ski . " I think a rock hit th e pipe, wh ich br ok e a nd (the hot exhaus t gasses) blew a hol e in the tank. " Swi nk was having troubles of hi s ow n up front as he bega n to tire. " I was go ing fas t and felt good, but since 1 haven 't been practicing during th e week m y endurance is down and 1 felI off th e pa ce," Swi n k said. That gave LaRocco th e opportu n ity to seize th e lead , and a t th e 20-m in u te mark he was six seco nds ahead of Cooper. The defendin g champ was con tent to let LaRocco go u nc ha llen ged to th e finish. " I co uld see five or six bikes beh ind me," said Cooper. "T he re wasn 't a Kawasaki, so 1 kn ew 1 co uld finish second, get th e overall a nd sti ll gain some points o n Kied rowski. 1 didn ' t want to throw it do wn.
