Low e-sponsored 85 cc Suzuki failed . w hich let
the hard -charg ing Springsteen pass him by half a
whee l at the line in t he cl ose st rac e of th e

riders . Pickett put his head down , never looked
back and ea sily pulled a lead over Michigan
youn g guns Brian Smith, Nichole Cheza and
Corey McDennitt. Smith couldn't close the gap
on Pickett, and, with the front straight st ill to
