Neese appeared to be in control of Saturday's 250cc A main from the start, cruising along in front while most of the action took place behind him. Swaney got off to a bad start and then compounded his misfortune by spinning out at the end of lap one, dropping temporarily to last.

Stiles appeared to have command of Saturday's 125cc A main event, but with three laps left, a lapper took him out. After his sudden exit, Monk took over the lead, with Bennick and William Wilson of Hickory, North Carolina, close behind. Stiles scrambled to recover in midpack and rode like stunt man Bud Ekins in "The Great Escape" (go rent it sometime). By the time the checkered flag was unfurled, Monk had won, followed by Bennick, Stiles, Wilson and Stancil. In Saturday's 250cc A class, Bennick grabbed the holeshot, but Stiles was deadly in the whoops. Not a rider in the whole place could match his pace in that section.
