Schnell and the res t of the 125cc Interm ed iate class wou ld be combined with the Pro class and would have to contend with riding two long, 10lap motos. When the gate dropped for the start of the comb ined 125cc Intermediate /Pro race, the Orange County Suzukis of Don Upt on and EricSchneU led the way. Behind the leaders, a four-way battle erupted between pro rid ers Marlo Painter, E.] . Wright, Heath Voss and Intermediate rider Jeny Aleman. As the race progressed, Upt on pulled away while Schnell slowed. "I have not been training to ride long motos like this," Schnell said . "The am ateur Nationals that I ha ve been racin g are much sho rter ." Pain ter was the first to pick off Schnell. Then two laps later the 14-year -old Aleman threaded his way through the Pros and took the Intermediat e class lead from Schnell. At the finish line, Upton and Painter finished 1-2 follo we d by Int erm ed iat e winne r Alema n an d Schnell in third an d fourth. Pro rid er E.J. Wrigh t com pleted the top five. The seco nd mot o saw Upton again in control with Schnell second and challengi ng for the lead . Schnell made a mistake just after the third lap by falling over in a techn ical sectio n of the track. Schnell rem ou n ted in sixth jus t behind Aleman,. who led the Intermed iate class. At this point the Pros took over the top four spots on the track, but the real action took place betw een Aleman and Schnell as the two future Pros duked it out for the rest of the race.

MAR. 25 Ty son Taylor sh o we d some gri t to to p the Novice ranks at a changed track when the Starwest Racing facility opened up with its Saturday Nigh t MX Series. The first moto of the new season featured the 125 and 250cc Novice classes with the 1155 ge tting the first gate. When the gate fell, Bullfrog Newcomer grabbed the holeshot. but then Taylor screa me d into co n tention fro m an outs ide starti ng position an d powered his way around the o utside li ne in th e " Ho rsesh oe " to lead ~fore the field entered the main track. Taylor beg an to work his Hond a, pushi ng it hard through the turns and launching ove r the big tabl et op jum p in the back section. Beh ind Newcomer wa s Shane Bailey who ha d Mike Gibson looking for a way aro u nd Bailey. Gibson wa ited u ntil the pai r en tered the infield triple before making his move and jump ing over and past Bai ley , w ho h ad electe d to d ouble th e jump. Tyson contin ued to stretch his lead , obliviou s to the po sition cha nges go ing on behin d him . Brian Barker caug h t an d passed Bailey a lap later and then Shawn Haywood closed in on the Suzuki rider. Gibson had closed to within a couple of bike le ng ths of Ne wcome r before Newcome r picked up the pace to secure second pla ce approximate ly ID-seconds behind the winner Taylo r, who execu ted a clean one- bande r ove r the big grandstand jump for the crowd as took the checkered flag. Mot a tw o saw Ta y lor grab th e h ol esh ot with Bailey hot on his heels ahead of a pa ir of Hon das belonging to Newcome r and Gibso n. The pa ck flew in close formation over the big tabletop ju m p in the back and mad e its w ay b ack a rou nd to the fro n t. Taylo r d o u bl etripl ed the infie ld rocker section, an d Gibson followed sui t wi th most of the pack imi tating the stunt. Barker carried too much speed into the followi ng comer and was unable to ma ke it th rou gh. Up fro nt, Taylor was enjoying a comfortab le lead ove r Gibson while-Bailey and Newcome r we re d icing fo r th i rd . Haywood wasn ' t fa r beh ind the pair, a nd on the next lap mad e the battle for third a three-way scuffle. Newco me r mad e his move on Bailey on the fourth lap and powered by in the back section of the tra ck. Turning the wi ck up, he we nt in search of Gibso n, bu t th is time it was too litt le too late, and Newcomer was forced to se ttle for th ird as Tayl or took the checke red fla g fo llowed by Gibson, Ne wco me r, Haywood and 4'l'" Bailey.
