Although Smail set a blisterin g p ace and succeeded in closin g on Huffman near the end of the mota , Huffman cruised across the fin ish li ne to score the mo ta wi n. Smail foll owed with a comforta ble lead on Ray, Canoy, Ray Crumb an d Sha ne Trittler, who worked up from a 12thplace start. Bill y Joe Mercier timed the gate perfectly in mota two, and led H u ffman, R ay , Canoy and T ritt ler through turn one.

" Once 1 got out front , 1 felt pretty con fident ," said the 15-year -old H uffman. " I wanted to get int o the lead as soo n as possible, so 1 cou ld ride my own race. " Smail nab bed the hol eshot in the opening 250cc Pro mota , with Ryan Carlis le, Huffman , and Mike Cham ber la i n close beh in d. Sm a il took advan tage of the clear track ahead of him, and began to estab lish a lead that he wou ld ho ld throughou t the mota.
