Mark MoscTop (Luft Rcing) occupied the early second until he was downed with bike trouble. Whelchel was next to lose second to Schmitz as he succumbed to engine failure, opening third to Willy Simons. A tight battle ensued as Simons closed on Schmitz and made a successful pass into second.

Ken Zahrt held second as David Zahrt and Scott Curtis passed Jerry Martinez to fill the third and fourth spots. Bill Hagen was busy picking off riders as he worked his way from the back. When he moved in behind Curtis things got tight. Hagen used the high side of a berm for his pass and then proceeded to put Dave Zahrt behind him on the same lap.
