in second p lace (Reed ) and inherited the lead,"
said Estes. "I knew that the guy that went do wn
was the one I needed to beat, and saw he wa s
back in third p lace. I hound ed the leader the

The first 125cc A moto began with Walk er
taking the holeshot, Walker led the first lap , but
Rand was righ t on him all the way and finally
slipped past on a d ownhill nea r the end of lap
two . Rand's luck didn't hold ou t and his bik e
we nt down a t the top of the track, letting Walker
resume th e lead . Ran d , Duff, Strunk a n d
Steinrock were all very close, fighting for second
p lace. The moto ende d with Walker, Rand and
Strunk ta king the top three positi ons.
In the second moto Rand got out of the ga te
first and moved out qu ickly. Walker held on to
second and Strunk was forced to settle for third.
The first 250cc A class mote was an exciting
one. Rand led the ent ire time, bu t Walker tripled
on the stair steps, a first at Dani el Boone. On the
nex t lap both Wa lker and Ra n d tripl ed the
obstacle a nd the crowd wen t wild .
The second mota was a carbon copy of the
