stufl" Kanney said,
"Once
he
got
in front
of me, I was staying behind him and riding
his
pace,
but I hit another rider and my
chain came off, so I was never able to
get
back up with him after that."
With
Jenks
out
front
and
Kanney
com-
fonably in second, KTM rider Patrick
Garrahan
was the man on the move.
''l
got
a top- l0 start
people
were bang-
ing bars and there was a lot ofgrass-track
where
people
were
goinS
fast, so I
backed off to save my
goggles,"
Garrahan
said.
'A
few
Suys
made some mistakes, so
I was in about fifth after the first lap. I
could see some
guys in front
of me, so I
tried to
pick it
up, but
it
was diflicult to
go
faster, so I tried to
iust
keep it smooth.
The last couple laps, I caught back up to
Wats and a Yamaha rider
and still
had
some
fight in
me, so I was able to make
the
passes."
