lap had pushed him back to third place. Two
tums later, Cason was ba ck on Hansen's rear
wheel. By the next straigh ta way , Cason motored
by Hansen to take back secon d place. Hunter
took the w in followed by Cason, but Hansen
ended up with a DNF due to mechanical problems.
The seco nd- mo te start was a repe a t of the
first moto with Cason pulling a large holeshot.
By the end of the second lap, Cas on had put
considera ble lime between him self and the seco n d place ri d er, Hunter. On the third lap ,
Hunter's pit board read. " You' re s lacki n g ."
Hunter p icked up th e pace immediately and
pa ssed Cason through the whoops on lap five to
tak e the win.
The firs t moto of the 250cc Pro class was also
dominated by Ch ris H unter. who led from the
first tum to the chec kered flag. Hansen narrowly

second pla ce, wh en Hunter sudd enly kicked in
the afterburne rs and in two laps caught Hansen
by double-jumping two huge singles that were
never intended to be d oubled. Hansen caught on
to the time-saving maneuver, and he. too, d oubled it. But it was not enough to hold off the
har d-chargin g Hunter, w ho ou t-ju mped h im

until the checkered lIag to w in. with plenty of
time over Hansen in second pla ce.
