" Idio ts ran into me and pushed me
out (of the first tum)," sai d Sta nton.
Both Kiedrowsk i and Brad sh aw
passed T ichenor early on lap two and
set up their battle for the lead whi ch
carr ied them far ahea d of the pa ck.
Tichen or was al so soon passed by
La Rocco, Ma tiasevich and McG rath,
in th at o rder.
Bradshaw never fell more than a
second beh ind Kied ro wski , bu t
couldn't find a p lace to pass until lap
16.
"I was tryi ng to pass Kiedro wski the
whole time ," said Bradshaw . " I was
h oping to use lap pers to my advantage
and when he made a couple of mistakes
I had to ma ke my move ."
" I never reall y saw Bra dshaw beh in d
me, I was concentra ting o n ri ding ,"
said Kiedrowski. " We go t in to la ppers
and I was lookin g for a differen t line
to get arou nd them and that's wh en
he go t me."
Brad sh aw was ab le to get through
the lappers quicker than Kiedr owski,
and in th at time he built a small lead
that he held to the finish.
Throughout the race La Rocco was
far behi nd in third, although at o ne
point he fell when he hooked his front
brake lever o n a ha y bale. Bayle, wh o
had methodically worked h is wa y
throug h the pa ck, go t close to LaRocco
but the n backed off late in the race after
he almost cras hed and fin ished fo urth.
Ma tiasevich had McG rath in h is
tracks for mo st of the main bu t stayed
in front to take sixth , wh ile Stant on
got by T ichenor on lap 14 and finis hed
a distant seven th.
" O nce I got through th e slower
riders it was over, they were go ne ," said
Stanton.
T ichenor hung o n to eig hth , Emig
was ninth and Craig was clo se behind
to round out the to p 10.
In th e 125cc class, Swink and Lusk
won their respective heats, and at the
sta rt of the ma in Sw i n k got th e
ho leshot a n d qui ckl y left J u ni o r
Jackson beh ind in second. By th e tim e
Lusk passed J ackson o n lap three,
Swink had a four-s econd advantage.
Lusk quickly cu t tha t margi n in
ha lf, but it took h im severa l mor e laps
to reach Swink's rea r fender wh ile
J ackson began to slide bac k to 11th .
Lusk began challe nging Swink on lap
II , but it wasn 't until the 14th circu i t
tha t he fou nd hi s way to the front,
Swink co uld've p layed it safe and
settled for second and th e championship, but he quickly reta il iated.
" I had been riding hard , but not to
the point wh ere I was o ut of control ,"
said Swink.
Lusk mad e ano the r try on the last
lap bu t a mistake ga ve Swink the sma ll
cushion he needed to take the win.
"I planned a spot for a last-ditch
move, bu t I spu n o ut on th e last lap,"
said Lusk, wh o fin ished ri ght behind
Swi nk and rode a victory lap alongside
th e winner at Swink's su ggestion.
" H e rode a good race," said Swink.
" H e's young and needs the recogn ition, and it 's good for Suzuki. "
Button, who had to qualify for the
main by winning th e LC Q. didn 't
reach th ird until lap 10 and that's
where he stayed to the finish.
" I take my hat off to Swink, he rode
excellently all year," said Button on
the podium, although h e looked
disappoint ed th at he was eli mi na ted
fro m the title.
J eff Dement fin ish ed fourt h just
ahead of H en ry and Brown, both of
whom went down together on th e first
lap.
