The first 125c c Pro moto came to th~ line with a veritable who's who of Oregon and Southwest Washington riders. Jim Anderson (Suz), riding for D & M, got the holeshot and was never passed , but the racing going on behind him ,was something else . Kevin Lane (Suz) and David Va n Epps (Suz) provided enough action to fill th e who le day's b ill, but more was yet to come. Chris Sein es (SUI), comin g from 14th on t he sta rt, was a ble to work to a fift h by th e end of the moto . J im And erson pu lled to a n easy win as Lane bagged second a nd Va n Ep ps got third.
