The 125cc Pro class got off the line with Nelson pulling an early lead followed by Chip Chapman (Hon), Jim Keese (Hon) and Mike Langly (Hon). Nelson began to stretch his lead while Chapman worked hard to shorten it. By lap three; Langley was hot on Keese's tail and ready to pass. Langley made his move on the next lap and took over third spot. Chapman was now forced to contend with Langley as Nelson's lead grew larger. Mike Olmsted (Suz) came up from the pack and overtook Keese to drop him into fourth. These positions remained unchanged during the remainder of the race and Nelson finished first, Chapman second and Langley third. The second moto started with Langley taking the lead and Nelson riding in his shadow. Keese and Olmsted put the pressure on not too far behind. By lap two, Nelson had moved by Langley and started working on his lead for a second time. Langley and Keese were now running hard trying to keep Nelson's pace as Chapman, who started out seventh, was working his way up. Chapman managed to get hold of Olmsted and took away his fourth place spot. Nelson got first again with Langley second and Keese third. The 250cc Pros powered their way off the line with Worth (Hon) taking the lead. Following Worth were Jay Haroutunian (Suz) and David Manhire (Suz).
