A good win for Brad Oxley in the gruelling 25 lapper, a real test of endurance. Eddie Castro lead for the first 23 laps, on a machine that sounded unlikely to survive a 4 lap race. (I am told he put a rod through the case the following night on the same machine). Oxley started from the 60 yard line with Gary Hicks and Steve Lucero and strategically worked his way through. Unlike most previous attempts in former years, this time the race did not stop, due to accidents, a credit to all riders. They all looked pretty knackered by the end! - Gary Roberts - dpteck.ix@netcom.com
