Team Motoworld of EI Cajon's Andy
Harrington settled into third, followed
by Kelly Smith, Danny Smith, Tyler
Evans, Sellards, Demuth, Thomas and
Gibson.
.
Fonseca immediately established a
comfortable lead, while Danny Smith
and Sellards began their charge to the
front, which was helped considerably
when Evans momentarily dumped his
machine in a turn. Smith and Sellards
kept coming and had control of second
and third by the fifth lap, but by that
time Fonseca had already built up an
eight-second lead.
Meanwhile, the other Smith - Kelly clipped a couple of "hay" bales and
went down, dropping back to 19th
place.
By the halfway point, Fonseca was in
command, while Danny Smith started
inching away from Sellards. Dostal still
held fourth but would soon lose tha t
spot to Evans, who was back on the
move. Demuth would also get Dostal.
As the race wore on, the top riders
began to spread out, with Fonseca seemingly content to hold seven to eight seconds on Smith. Then, just when things
looked set, Sellards bobbled, hit the
deck, and di-opped back to ninth. With
just two laps left, Sellards had no time to
make up for his mistake.
At the finish, it was Fonseca breezing
to victory with nine seconds to spare
over Danny Smith, who in turn had a
13-second cushion over Evans.
"It was a good race," Fonseca said
afterward. "But you had to keep thinking ou t there, because the track kept
changing_"
"I waited too long to get into the
pace," Smi th said. "1 guess tha t'show
you live and learn."
