With the ant hill start most people seemed to be wheeling off the line.

Jeremy Schell didnt seem to be underpowered today with this start. He grabbed the holeshot with Kory Ellis and Doug Eichner right behind.

Jeremy Schell was still leading the pack with Doug Eichner running in second, Kory Ellis on his Alba Yamaha running in third, and Danny Ragon running in fourth.

Steve Beilman was running in the 5th position with Darrel Patton right behind him.

As the leaders came around for the second lap Jeremy was no longer in front. Infact he had dropped down to about 5th or 6th place. After talking to him after the race he said that he didnt know what happened the bike just lost all of its power. This wasnt a bad thing for Kory Ellis who was now in 1st place and Doug Eichner who was running in the second place position.

Jeremy Schell worked his way back up to the 4th spot but wasnt about to give up. HE wanted the win.
