3:34 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 82 degrees, relative humidity 51 percent, barometer 29.57 inches, adjusted altitude 2,619 feet, track temperature 121 degrees.
Turner has prior eight wins. Three of them this year. Boyer has four prior runner-up and one was against Turner.
Turner is away first by a bunch, but the engine goes silent right after that and he is coasting.

Boyer seemed to initially be on another strong pass, but the engine went sour early and he would have been a sitting duck against a competitive bike. Luck is Good!
