wa y soft. Fortuna tely, I'm a big gu y 210 pounds, six-foo t-th ree - so I can mu scle my way out. I'm reall y too big for a 125, maybe too big for the spo rt!" Racing around in third was new pro Dennis Kritzer, but Scott Myers found h is way a round when Kritzer bogged in a berm. Rick Ryan gassed up to cha llenge Kritzer next, taking over fourth after a br ief battle.

In the second 250cc moto, Ryan took the ea rly lead fo ll o w ed close ly b y M yer s and Wal ters . Pa t Gomm was running fourth before he cra shed hard in a deep rnudhole, and came up sporting a head-to-toe mud coat. The spill dropped Gomm back to 10th place, but a determined ride brought him up to finish a respectable seventh.
