Breckon returning the favor a lap late r. Breckon was then able to open a gap, which Hirko eventually closed up agaln. Meanwhile, Silva was creeping up on the lead pair. As they got into lapped traffic toward the end of the race, Silva pounced on Hirko to take second, and Breckon built a lead that carried him to the checkered flag first. F-500 featu red a battle of the 19s, as Satu rday winner Karsten IIIg ( 19X) opened up a lead over Ch ristopher Spargo ( 19), both riding Yamaha twostroke twins. Class ch ampion Dave Crussell soon bro ught his Kawasaki H I up and got past Spargo. The latter then got back into second spot, and their battle pushed the m up to IlIg as the race wore on. On the last lap, Spargo jumped out into the lead and was followed across the line by Ilig and then Crussell. On the track at the same time were the Sportsm an 5005, and, in similar fashion, BSA rider s Don Jagger and David Rutherford caught up with leader Todd Narduzzi (Honda). This time, however, the leader didn't relinquish the lead, and Jagger ended up second and Rutherford third. Springsteen and Nixon we re back for Sunday's F-7S0 action, and for the first time Tim Joyce was part of the mix, too. Mounted on another Hourglass Harley, Joyce went back and forth for the lead with Springe r, wh ile Nixon held dow n a solid th ird. Altho ugh Springste en had opened a fair-sized gap at one point late in the race, he took o nlya narrow win at the checkered flag. When the Formula Vintage race came aro und, Springstee n deci ded to make things interesting and started at the rear of the second wave , beh ind all the SOS Two -Strokes . By the first tum , he had passed all the SOS bikes, and before two laps were do ne, he was first overall on the tra ck, ahead of the first -wave Formula Vintage field and still charging. Spargo und id a pass that Carter had made on him to ta ke second in F-Vintage, while Smallwood collected his second SOS Two-Stroke w in of the weekend. In other mod ern -bike action , BOT F-I wa s something of a replay of Saturday 's race, as Hatten grabbed the holeshot but couldn't hold off Stranahan. But as Stranahan pulled away, there was an exce llent battle over second place. Both David Podolsky and Brenne r got around Hatten, on ly to have the Ducati rider first get back around Bre nne r and then Podolsky to reclaim his runner-up position by race's end . Hatten also earned third, behind Paul Vitale and Podolsky, for th e day in Sound of Thunder and too k the win on his BBM , ahead of Kevin Keys, in Super Mono 2. The Super Mono race was a thriller, as the Honda-mounted Keys and AI Charles, on his Ducati Supermono went back and forth for the lead in the early laps before Charles managed to get in front and continue to narrowly hold off Keys. But while all eyes were focused on that battle , the trio of Bob Robbins, Podolsky and Steve Heilman was closing in. On the last lap, Podolsky and his Tigcraft vaulted into the lead, chased across the line by Charles, Keys, Heilman and the n Robbins.
