#2 Jeremiah Jones & his Dad prepare his starting Gate!
Before the start of each moto, the pros were given one lap to check out the track and practice the start from their gate position.
Johnny Hale made the switch from a TRX to a YFZ because he felt the TRX just wasn't working for him on the MX track.

Once the practice lap was over, the racers lined up on the gate!

With the Gate about ready to drop, Dana Creech, Harold Goodman, and Nate Frees rev their engines as they focus on the Gate.
the Gate Dropped and 19 of the Pro Riders headed for the first turn down a long straight away. the 20th Pro rider Keith Little's Clutch faded on the line waiting for the gate to drop and he stalled his yfz, and was working on restarting it in the background on the left.

#4 Tim Farr grabbed the Holeshot with #55 Doug all over his rear tires. #13 John Natalie Jr and #2 Jeremiah Jones followed them into the first turn.
#12 Keith Little didn't get going until they were already heading into the 2nd turn, but he was on the gas! I think he just didn't want to deal with all the dust on the start, lol:eek:
By the 2nd Lap, Tim Farr was still in the lead with "Digger" Doug only a few feet behind him.
