all-Scratch program - three rounds, with the top 10 moving on to the semis, and from there the top two moving to the main event, with the final rider coming from the lastchance qualifier. Shawn "Mad Dog" McConnell came off the pole and was never seriously challenged. "Fast" Ed Castro was second, with Greg Hancock, trying to get used to the much smaller track, third. Eric Carrillo was fourth, and Poland's Bartek Bardecki was fifth. Scott Brant handily won the second heat. Dukie Ermolenko was second, with Poland's Darius Sledz third. John Stunkard and Mark Adams were fourth and fifth. John Cook had a very short night; he got very up close and personal with the crash wall in turn two, and if the broken boards were any indication, he should have some broken ribs, as he went through the wall at full speed. Hamill had no problems with the small track or the pack that was trying to catch him and the third heat was his. Ryan Fisher was a solid second, with Kit Nay, Brad Sauer and Randy DiFrancesco rounding out the field. The last heat was won by Bobby "Boogaloo" Schwartz. Englishman David Meldrum was second, with Jim Estes third. Bryan Yarrow was fourth. Billy Janniro looped it on the starting line and would have to really get on track to make it up in the next two 12I04I01 12104/01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12I04I01 12104/ll1 12I04I01 12I04I01 12104/ll1 12I05I01 12I05I01 12I05I01 12I05I01 12/051-01 12/05101 12106/01 12106/01 12106/01 12/Oll101 12109/01 12/09/ll1 12/11/ll1 12111/ll1 12111/01 12111/ll1 12111/01 12111/ll1 12111/ll1 12111/01 12111/01 12111/ll1 12/11/01 12/11/01 12/11/ll1 12/11/ll1 12/11/ll1 12:00 AM 1:00AM 2:00AM 3:30AM 12:00 PM 1:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 5:30 PM 6:00 PM 7:00 PM 7:30 PM 8:00 PM 9:00 PM 10:00 PM 11:30 PM 6:30AM 7:00AM 7:30 AM 6:00AM 5:00 PM 5:30 PM 1:00AM 9:00AM 9:30AM 7:00PM 5:00AM 7:00AM 12:00 AM 1:00AM 2:00AM 3:30AM 12:00 PM 1:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 6.00 PM 7:00 PM 7:30 PM 8'00 PM 9:00PM 10:00 PM 11:ooPM KawasaJd Dream Rides FIM World Superbike - Philip Island· Race 1 FIM World Superbike • PhI" Island· Race 2 High Octane .
