Fredrik Stalmaele took lull advantage of the perfeet track conditions that resulted from midweek rains, as he topped the 125cc Junior division at Racing Enterprises Motosports' weekly Saturday Motocross, held at Glen Helen Raceway Park. When the first moto left the line under bright, sunny skies, Stalmade immediately served notice to the competition as he motored to a big holeshot. Behind:;talmaele, Steve Sailing positioned his YZ125 into the second slot, and Kaipo Chung maneuvered into third. When the pack went into the back canyon for the first time, the top five positions were filled out by Jeremy and Joel Murphy, whose yellow Suzuki RMl25s really stuck out among the sea of blue Yamahas that were running up front. Right away, Stalmaele and Sailing began to separate themselves from the pack, as the two racers diced hard for the lead. Chung held comfortably in the third spot, some three seconds back from the skirmish at the front. By ti,e third lap, Stalmacle had scratched out a five-bikelength lead on Sailing, while the lVIorphy brothers were engaged in a duel. The battle led them to the rear fender of Chung, who still held the third spot. By the midway point, St.lm.ele had opened up a two-second lead on Sailing. As the moto wore on, SaiJing appeared to settle down and find his lines as he started to close on talmacle. When the two-lap signal was given, Sailing was within two bike lengths of the leader, and he looked to be setting up a pass attempt. The three-way battle ror third was settled on the white-flag lap, as both of the Murphy brothers went around Chung. pushing the Yamaha pilot back to ruth.
