The 17th annual White Brothers 4-stroke national had a great turn-out. There may have been more entrys if it hadnt been for a works race schedule the same weekend. There were 22 pro entries and 24 amatuer entrys. With that many amatuer entrys they had to have 2 divisions.

And their off. With 14 yamahas, 2 Kawasakis, and 4 Hondas on the line it looked like it would probably be yamaha out in front.

Sure enough it was Ricky Nickell #69, on his yamaha 450 taking the holeshot.

Unfortuntly Dough Eichner crashed coming around the big sweeper right after the start. Taking what looked like a pretty hard spill. Scott Wright, IMS, came out to assist Doug.

#6 Jeff Anderson and # 13 Craig Frisch came together right before the second turn and where there for awhile. This was good for Eichner who passed them.
