Day Two A steady drizzle all Saturday night made trail conditions Sunday even tougher than the first day, but the time schedule was considerably slower.

Marchini was fastest 125. The motocross special , which was the final event of th e weekend, was a fairly short grass track course with mOlOS lasting for 10 laps; five riders to a race.
