UITatt trailed in third followed by Tallon Vohland, Matiasevich and Jef£ Stanton. Watts, a vi tim of the first turn, was running nearly last. Frank led the next few lap while Surratt moved by Davis and Mati· asevich looked for a way around Tallon Vohland. At the beginning of lap four, Frank lost his small advantage when he stalled his bike on the uphill. Surratt moved in and stole the lead later in the lap, making the order Surratt, Frank, and the tightly-grouped uio of Davis, Matiasevich and Tallon Vohland. By the end of the eighth lap, Tyson Vohland moved in on his brother Tallon and took over fifth when Tallon went wide in a turn. Stanton passed Tallon Vohland a short time later, then got by Tyson Vohland and Matiasevich to secure fourth. At the checkered flag it was Surratt with the win followed by Frank, Davis, Stanton, Matiasevich and Tyson Vohland. Tallon Vohland jammed to the front of the pack at the start of moto two, but Matiasevich quickly took over the lead. Surratt was near the front of the pack after the first tum but crashed when another rider fell in front of him, leaving Surratt dead last. Brian Manley trailed Tallon Vohland in third ahead of Davis, Tyson Vohland, Honda rider Brian Pryor and Stanton. Tyson Vohland went to work on Davis, trailed him for a lap, then snuck underneath to capture' fourth. Tyson was still on the move and on lap six he went to work on Manley and got by to take third.

Kawasaki-mounted Bader Manneb came up with the holeshot when the gate dropped for the first 125cc Pro moto with Matiasevich and Ryan following. But Ryan didn't foUow for long. He quickly stuffed his way past both Matiasevich and Manneh to lead the way. Manneh was stunned and let Matiasevich by also, while Chris Young held onto fourth ahead of Suzuki rider Paul Winn. By the third lap, Ryan and Matiasevich were slightly ahead of the rest of the field, and Davis had moved by both Winn and Young. Soon he was also by Manneh and into third. Up front, Matiasevich was pressing Ryan hard, moving alongside but unable to get by. At the end of the uphill straight, Ryan went wide into the tum and Matiasevich went to the inside and captured the lead. Two turns later Davis motored by Ryan to take second.
