away, and he built a margin of nearly 30 seconds by the end of the first lap. Shenigo, on the other hand, trailed Lafferty at the time, but was unable to capitalize and move up. For the duration of the first lap and through the second, Lafferty simultaneously reeled in Ott while distancing himself from Shenigo. As the third lap rolled around, Lafferty got into a position to attempt a pass early on, before an untimely crash again slowed him down. However, persistence paid off, as finally he managed to get around Ott near the midway point of the third lap. Soon after the pass, Ott made a poor line choice while traversing a mud hole blocked by two stricken riders, and in the process stuck his biKe in a bad way. Unable to free his bike .on his own, a floodgate of front-runners, including Shenigo, XR250-mounted Mark Hummel, Rick Moyer, Jim Gunselman, et al, scooted by while Ott negotiated for help in freeing his inert Yahama. With Ott out of the way and Shenigo . unable to find the pace required to hunt down the Lafferty, the KTM rider built a comfortable lead in the final three laps, never really being challenged by anyone, completing six laps and winning by a comfortable three-minute margin. B&B Yahama-rnounted Shenigo pressed on to finish second overall and was the only other rider to complete six laps. Lafferty, who claimed his second overall victory of the series riding a nearly stock factory-sponsored KTM 250 EXC, commented, "My bike worked great and the WER-tuned suspension was up to the day's trials." Shenigo, on the other hand, expressed his disappointment with his second-place finish. "It was a mistake that I let them (Ott and Lafferty) get away early, planning to conserve energy," Shenigo said. "I was never able to regain the pace needed to reel in the leader." Ott, who ended up finishing ninth overall, offered this explanation of his troubles: "There were two stuck riders in this water hole and I tried to go between them; getting stuck badly, as a ,ton of bikes squeaked by. I ended up helping them (the other riders) free their bikes and they helped me with mine." Joe Cabot was the top B-class finisher for the event, piloting his CR250 to eighth overall, finishing just ahead of Ott.
