The 125cc Pro s and I n ter rned ia tes were once again com bi ned mak in g a IOta I field o f eigh t riders . When th e gate dropped in moto o ne, the Pro s got th e handl e o n the race .

Church bailed off in th e water-lined whoops letting Earle quickly waltz away from the pack. Earle, White and Harry hauled around the track making smooth moves. Church fell once again , putting the trio way out, but it took only o ne la p for Church to collect steam a nd move by Harry for third. Earle looked dazzling up front , but all good things must co me to a n end. and Earle kissed mother earth,letting White by, who in turn was spit off, putting Church back into th e lead. So u nd co nfusing? It was, believ e mel Church took th e win over White w ho remounted q uic kly eno ugh 10 land seco nd.

Church go t by Ea rle but fou nd things super ro ugh. goi ng over th e bars a n d putting th e Hon da rider back in front. Ea rle ope ned up a g ia nt -sized lead o n th e pack and soared off th e jumps giving th e fan s what th ey lik e to see (ba nzai tacti cs). Harry got by White an d Church to move within striking di stance, and th e two fought it ou t for nearly th e wh ol e race. White went down in the soup purring him down a lap while Church began 10 close the gap. Luckily for Earle and Harry, he cra shed but got up and was OK . Harry got by Earle for th e lead on the downhill slo pe. Earle worked back by and took it back until th e last lap when he went wid e. allowing Harry 10 inherit th e lead. It was barto-bar actio n a t its best going through th e fin al whoops. If Earle won the rnoto, th e overall co uld be hi s, but it d idn 't happen, and Harry, who got off dead la st, took the win over Earle, Church, White, Toedtemeier, Sayles.
