down in the back section of the track, leaving
Weat herly and Handelin to fight it out. As the
two came to a hairpin tum, it was Weatherly
who came ou t ahead of Handclin and wen t on
to take the checkered flag. Handelin cru ised in
wit h second, followed by Garcia, Ric ha rd
Adams and Burr .
The second mo ta saw McCa ndless o nce
again pu ll the holcshot, with Garcia right behin d
him. However, Garcia we nt down on the nex t
left-hander, leaving the rest of the pack frantically look ing for a way around him . As the dust
se tt led, the runnin g o rde r was McCandl ess,
Ada ms, Weatherly and Hande lin. And just as in
the first mo ta, McCandless once again opened
up a sizable lead ove r the rest of the field. And
a lso ju st as in the firs t mot o, Hand elin wa s
determined to hunt down the leader.
Weatherl y mad e his way past Adams and
bega n ga in ing g ro u nd on McCand less. But
behind Weatherl y were Hand elin and her Yamaha in hot p u rs uit. After passin g Ad am s on a
tigh t left -hander, Handelin set her s ig hts on
Weatherly and made a clean pa ss over the finish-line d oub le to take over second posit ion. By
the third lap, Hand elin was tailing McCandl ess,
and the two staye d tight throughout the back
se ctio n o f th e t rack. As th e two en te red th e
" horses hoe" tum, McCandless wen t wide and
Ha nde lin d ucked to the inside to take the lead..
Ha nde lin stea dily in crea sed he r lead as
McCandless slow ly fad ed , possibly du e to the

of the fading McCandless and, as the checkered
flag waved, it was Handelin w ith the win and
the overa ll for the day. Weatherly held on for
seco nd, follo wed by Garcia, with McCand less
and Burr rounding ou t the top five.
