SATURDAY Henry couldn't get out of baby-sitting duties back at home and could not attend Saturday night's racing, but the racing was still good and just as exciting as Friday night's show. The 125cc main got off to a hectic start. A huge first-turn pile-up left many riders behind. Bradshaw and Smith were a few of the riders who came through unscathed and were rewarded with a 1-2 finish. Holland slipped his way into third at the finish, while Hofmaster and Demuth rounded out the top five. The large crowd could not have asked for a better start to the 250cc main event, as the top three riders in the series points standings got away 1-2-3. Smith nailed the holeshot, but Lange, Bradshaw and Demuth quickly moved into the top three positions. Lange pushed hard and held the lead for most of the race until both Brad· shaw and Demuth got him. Demuth tried to reel in the new leader but time ran out, as Bradshaw went on to win his fourth main event of the season. Demuth took second, followed by Lange, Gonzalez and Isaiah Johnson. Bradshaw was obviously very pleased with his win, as he took a victory lap, tossing his goggles, gloves and even his jersey into the stands. The perfect evening for Bradshaw catapulted him into third in the series, behind leader Demuth and Upcoming Rounds: Round 4 - Geneva, Switzerland, December 14-15 Round 5 - Ft.
