advan tage. War d ma de no further mistakesl and
he rode in for the moto win . Fowler was a close
secon d, wh ile Musgrave was able to fend off the
late charge of Tow nsend , who had moved up to
take foorth. Sharp filled oo t the top five.
When the second moto left the line , Fowler
was again out front , ripp ing a nice holeshot. In
what must be considered an uncommon sight in
an y race, the rar e, Italian-built Vertemati S03cc
thumpers filled ou t two of the top three po sitions, as Sharp had his black mac hine in second l
while Ward ran in third . Musgrave agai n gated
well , as h e held down fo u rth, a head of
Tow nsend , a t the end of lap one .
On lap thr ee, Ward passed both Sharp and
Fow ler to ta ke over the lead . On ce ou t front,
Ward imm edi a tely es tablished a tw o -second
cushion . Fow ler still rod e in second, while Sharp
remained steady in third. During the S<.'COnd half
of the moto , it appeared that Fowler was begin ning to in ch ba ck up to Ward, which would
hav e se t u p an exciting battle for the overall.
This was not to be, however, as Fowler suffen.~
a late miscue and d ropped all the wa y back to
fou rt h. Sharp took adva ntage of the situ ation
and movt.>d up to second, while Musgrave now
rode in third . Ward pushed hard all the way to
the end, and he took the moto win comfo rtably.
Sharp finis hed his stro ng rid e in secon d . Mu s·
grave came acros s. the line in third . Fowler was
fourth, a nd Townsend finished fifth.
Ward 's d oubl e moto wins ensu red him the
overa ll victory on the day, and he took hom e the
top cash. Musgrave's 3-3 score was goo d enough
for second, whi le Fowler's 2-4 rides pla ced him
third. Sharp finished up in fourth after posting a
5-2 tally, a nd Townse nd filled ou t the top five
aft er goin g 4-5 on the day .
