Adam Henrichs, however, started quickly and soon opened up a seemingly comfortable margin ahead of Gardner, johnson and Bobby LePage. As the laps ticked away, however, Gardner's cornering" speed was steadily improving, and much to the delight of the crowd he reeled in Henrichs. A bobble from the leader in turn three was all Gardner needed to make the pass, and with two laps to go the Kawasaki rider went on to score the win. johnson and .LePage raced to third and fourth place, respectively. Henrichs was the first to congratulate Gardner while they coasted into the pits. Buzz Arndt's season-long dominance in the 40+ class finally came to an end at the hands of Dave Koch. Koch pulled the all-important holeshot and was never challenged during his dash to the checkers. The top five racers that followed Koch to the checkers were Daryl Pangerl, Arndt, joel Gulbranson and John Sutherlin. Koch kept his hot streak going in the Stock Frame class when race leader Brad Frey fell on the last lap, effectively handing Koch the win. Results OPEN PRO: 1. DavC}' Ourelle; 2.

Kohner jumped out front at the restart, but the race was stopped again when Boehlke crashed in the first turn, collecting Randy Triplett and Norb Gregory in the process. No one was hurt, but a despongent Boehlke was sent 10 the back of the line. Once again Kohner grabbed the lead at the restart and was followed closely by Hoffmiester, who in turn held a slight margin ahead of the rest of the field. Kohner and Hoffmiester were engaged in some heavy grinding until Hoffmiester muscled his. way past with three lap~ to go, and went on to score the win ahead of Kohner.
