half a lap later off four and held on for the win. 1:1I the race, Wood and McGrane rode side by side, and they crossed the line still side by side, with Wood leading by an inch or so. The Sportsman event was similar. McGrane took the lead off the restart from Wood and Bill Stillwell. Wood took the lead on the third lap but bobbled in the second turn on the next lap. He worked his way up to McGrane's rear, and he diamonded off the third turn to shoot into the lead in the first turn on the last lap and used a slide job to make McGrane check up slightly off two. This time, Wood crossed the line a length in front. Greg Simmers was the quickest off the line in the 250cc B final, followed by Cory Long, John Sassaman, Devin Jessop and Bryan Hazel. Long took the lead at the end of the lap, while Jessop and Hazel moved up to battled Simmers for second. With Long pulling away, Jessop and Hazel finally got by Simmers on the sixth lap and stayed side by side to the end, with Hazel getting the nod. After sitting out for a month and a half with an injured ankle, John Lewis returned to action in the 125cc class. He gated second, behind Long, with Hazel, Ben Ludlow and Jonathan Jordan behind him. With Long riding the inside line to perfection, Lewis moved up to the outside groove and gradually inched his ABBA Systems/Bromley's Suzuki KTM into the lead by the start of the final lap. Brett Pugh finally took a win in a class where he has to shift. After dominating the Oil-Injected class two years ago, he had a hard time with the manual shifters last season. At this event, he took the lead from Austin Greenland, with John Long following. Greenland hung tough and took the lead on the sixth lap off the second turn, but Pugh retook the lead ..,s, ,'••, ,"v_ilI ..... v.. s,rlrrt ....
