After the Prayer, it was time for the National Anthem.
The 20 Riders on Pro Row rose for the National Anthem.
After Rick Towery gave the 10 second signal, the riders stared intently at the green flag held firmly at his side as he watched the clock.
In a flash, the flag was raised, and the 2005 Pro Season was underway with William Yokley getting the early lead by inches over Bill Ballance
#20 Kim Kuhnle had a late start and launched his Predator off the line in wheelie down the straight away.
Rounding the 1st turn, Bill Ballance was able to take the holeshot over William with his inside line with Matt Smiley and Bryan Cook right behind them.
#7 Chris Jenks, #9 Brandon Ballance, and #3 Chris Borich were the next riders to round the corner.
Meanwhile, Matt Smiley looks down at his Predator trying to figue out why it just stopped running with #7 Chris Jenks securing the fourth spot.
#23 Baker, #13 Todd Knippenberg, #18 Johnny Gallagher, and #11 Michael Houston all were wishing they had electric starts on there 450R as they chased after the leaders.
#8 Jeremy Rice couldn't get his 450R started on the line and was forced to push it off the line to clear the way for the Pro Am class.
