Keep your eyes on 44 in the 125cc Nationals. In the first 125cc Pro moto. the starting gate had a minor mechanical problem so a flag stan was used. It was Stacy Thornton and Bill Joyce out in front setting the pace, but before the lap ended. Larson had his 44 in front. Rob Manning, another brilliant prospect. was in hot pursuit. As the moto progressed, so did Fast Phil's lead over Manning. clear to the checkered. Joyce and Jack McGill went three and four respectively.
