which allowed Redmond to open
up a gap again. Haaker, how-

worked his way past Redmond
for the lead on lap six and pulled
a small lead. But his problems in

At this point, Haaker looked
set to walk away with an easy
win, but then got stuck in the
firewood pit at the start of the
second lap and lost a couple of
positions. Redmond took over
the lead and held it for five laps,

(Left) This was one of Webb's two big
crashes in the main. Somehow, he got
up and still managed to pressure winner
Haaker at the end.
