Saturday's schedule barely made it through the final second moto. the 51cc (7-8) Stock. before thunderstorms rolled through the area. resulting in a mad dash for cover as the winds swept canopies up, and thunder and lightning proved just how powerful Mother Nature can be. Less than two hours later. the storm had passed and the sun was shining bright. Dawson Draycott led the first 51 cc (4-6) moto off the gate on Saturday. chased by James Norris and DFW KTM's Bradley Willig. Norris fell in the first S turn before the finish line.

Lightfoot reeled in Willig for third, and a heated battle ensued on the final lap.

Maynard was on fire and began to put some real estate between himself and Davis. while Smith began to work his way up to the front-runners.
