Undstrom had equal gaps between them for
the next three positions. Throughout lap two,
Gillett made Zambon push to hold his second
position. Undstrom fell further behind but kept
an easy fourth spot through the end of the
mota. On the third lap, Zambon and Gillett
were tight in the berms. Zambon pulled ahead
on the straight stretches to keep his lead and
finish second.
The second 125cc B mota resulted in Maki
finishing first, Zambon in second and Undstrom in third.
Zambon and Maki fought again later, in the
125cc (Under 15) class. This time, Zambon
snagged the holeshot, with Maki rubbing
knobbies right behind him. Holding the lead
until the last lap, Zambon was passed by Maki
under the American-flag corner. With Maki
and Zambon's fans tense and clutching the
track fencing, Maki lost it in the next corner,
allowing Zambon to take the lead back. Hav-
ing no time to attempt to catch up again on
the last lap, Maki took his time getting up
from his fall and still took an easy but disappointing second place.
The second moto was Maki's chance to
redeem himself. He beat Zambon for first
place overall.
The 80cc Supermini (Open) class ran
three laps in the first mota. John Vandezande
of Marquette, Michigan, took the holeshot and
effortlessly held the lead throughout the entire
mota. The future looks bright for Vandezande,
as he just turned 12 and easily won the 80cc
Senior (12-15) class earlier in the day. With
Vandezande far out front in the 80cc Supermini mota, Johnny Kroupa started gaining a bigger second spot during his first lap. Daniel
Avery found a line in an outside berm to pass
Kroupa before the first lap was over. Trailing
Kroupa and Avery out of the gates were
Christopher Hughey and L.J. Quick.
On lap two, Vandezande soared around the
track flawlessly in first, while Avery held second and Quick kept third. Fighting for fourth
across the tabletop finish-line jump on lap two
were Kroupa and Justin Halberstadt. Vandezande finished first and was able to watch
the rest of the race. Avery finished second and
Quick third. Halberstadt pulled ahead
of Kroupa for fourth, leaving Kroupa in
fifth place.
The top four in the first 80cc Supermini
moto returned for a repeat performance in the
second mota, though Kroupa dropped to
sixth, behind Chad St. Amour.
