Farley ended up blowing the crew away this time. and captured the first place trophy. In the first moto the leader soared out ahead on his new Honda CR250R with his Honda colored racing outfit. This machine did the track in this class and also for Todd Peterson, who won the 250cc Pro class tonight with his first attempt. Farley proved his bike by not only getting the better starts, but also by zooming through the finish flag man in first place in both motos , beating Jeff Ortberg of Moto Meister, Larry Marino, Dwayne Brothers. and .
