Shaun Trabert tangled with Gilliam in the first tum and ended up on the ground and in last place. Durrer ran out front for a lap and a half before Gilliam found some room to make the pass. The two front-runners were inseparable for the next few laps as they stayed just out of the reach of Bagge, in third. Durrer backed off slighUy on the final lap, allowing Gilliam the win. Bagge was third, still a safe distance ahead of Trabert. Round two was a duplicate of the first. with Durrer leading Gilliam and the others through the sweeping right-hand first turn. Durrer put a couple of seconds on Gilliam and was looking flawless on a track that was being perfectly watered by Mother Nature. At one point, Durrer landed off the side of a tabletop jump and ended up in the infield, but fortunately he had enough of a cushion over Gilliam to maintain his leader status. At the checkers, it was Our· rer and his Troy Lee Designs/Sunstar/Bellbacked CR 125 with five seconds to spare over Gilliam. Trabert kept Gilliam in his sights up until the white-flag lap, when his bike broke, handing third to Bagge. All was not lost for Trabert, though, as he returned on his new Honda to share moto wins with Bagge for the 250cc Intermediate-class overall honors. Robbie Dunham went 3-3 to top Jimmy Chamberlin for third. Keith Robinson showed the rest of the 7 - to g-year-old Super Pee Wee class just why he's sporting the CRC number-one plate on his Works Shocks-sponsored Cobra. as he easily walked away from the competition in both motos. Eric Kahler's 3-2 rides edged out the 2-3 of Polini-mounted Matthew Popp for second overall, with Kyle Prince and Taylor Kellstrom rounding out the top five. (Sw). M H/W S/SPT: I.
