ally able to put a small dent in the leader's cushion. "I got a bad start off the gate and started picking them off one by one," said Kiedrowski. "When I got in second, I was trying my hardest to catch him (McGrath). I wasn't holding back at all." Kiedrowski's deficit was still substantial, though, and McGrath was riding like a well-oiled-machine, hitting the exact same lines lap after lap. With the race winding down, it appeared that Kiedrowski's only hope of catching McGrath would be if the Honda rider were to be held up by lapped traffic. McGrath actually did get held up a bit by Noleen teammates Brooks and Kalos, and Kiedrowski started to reel the leader in, but McGrath soon got by. Kiedrowski was also delayed by lappers just enough to all but end his chance of scoring his first-ever Camel Supercross win. McGrath cruised to the win, performing clickers over the triples on his final lap and then began taking his victory lap, as Kiedrowski crossed the finish line in second place. Stanton, who appeared to back off after falling, came home a distant third. Craig placed fourth after riding most of the race in that position, followed by Swink and Bradshaw. Like Craig, Lamson had an uneventful race, riding all but five laps in seventh position to tie his season-best performance. Ward was eighth, with Palmer also equalling his best finish of the season in ninth, and Stephenson rounded out the top 10. "It's not too bad when you get the holeshot," said McGrath. "Two years ago I couldn't get a start to save my life, and now I'm up there all the time." "I'm still pretty happy," said Kiedrowski. "There's still a lot of races left and I can get those points back. I didn't like the track last week, but I came here with a better attitude:' "I didn't feel the greatest, but I've been sick twice before at Houston, and still won there, so I can't say it was that," said Bradshaw. "The track was kind of one-lined and hard to pass on, but it looks like they're all going to be like that this year. I don't have any excuses; I've just got to speed it up a little." With Swink finishing fifth, the Coors Ught Silver Bullet remained unclaimed for another week, and will total $6000 next week in Tampa. This crash in the 125cc race effectively ended Gaddis' chances at the win. Mike Kiedrowski (3) suffered a mediocre start in the main. Damon Bradshaw (8) gated better, but mistakes on the first lap moved him back in the pack. Ta""hama (Hon); 8. Erik K.hoe (Hon); 9. R.ly Sommo (Yam); 10. Todd DoHoop (Hon); 11.
