While the first set of motos were run under
near-id eal cond itions, th e Kenworthy's track
crew hold their work cut out for them when the
skies open t"d up d uring intermission. Many race rs o p te d not to continue with th eir secon d
motos due to the muddy track conditions, with
man y first-moto full ga~ being relq;at~ to a
handful of rid ers in th eir second matos.
In mota oo r of thr Over 30 c1a~ , it was thr
F&:S Su zuki of Schmitz ou t front eolrly, with
Suzuki -mounted Curtis and Ron Rehm ert giving ch olse . Schmitz woul d u se hi s fam iliarity
