Skating along the hard packed, rough surface, Halbert had well over half a lap lead at the end of the twenty lap main event. “I knew I needed a good start and I got one,” said Halbert. “Jared was riding a real tight line and I thought about elbowing my way by, but I used a little patience and waited for an opening.”

Jeffrey Carver (Ben Evans Racing / Carver’s BBQ Harley-Davidson XR750) had also passed Mees and was a solid second until the next to last lap when his front tire went flat. Both Mees and Brad Baker (Indian Motorcycle / Allstate Insurance Indian Scout FTR750) were able to get by dropping Carver to a fourth place finish as he limped in.
