Then, changingtactics and developing his own spectaculargroove, he sailed by Roeder on the 11thlap and Bruce on the 14th to nail downsecond spot and take over the nationalpoint lead as well. Bruce held on forthird ahead of Schultz, Roeder and firstyear expert Mel Lacher.The amateur portion of the programwas a walkaway for Dan Haaby. He ledthe 7-miler from start to finish, afterposting fastest amateur time trial and win-ning his heat race. Much-improved FrankieSilva grabbed runnerup honors in front ofLarry Stockham and Swede Savage.A complete novice program was heldthe previous night, along with qualifyingruns for the National, and Jim Nicholsonwas the star of the evening.
