Kim Kuhnle was in 14th and Andy Lagzdins was only a few seconds behind in 15th.

Tragically, Dirk DeCesare wrecked early in the 1st lap when he lost control in a rutted section of the course. He suffered four broken vertebras in his back and is in the Texas Hospital waiting to be able to return to an Ohio Hospital to continue his recovery.

It was his first Pro Race, and it is awful that this is how it turned out for him, so please keep him in your prayers.

William Yokley moved up to 2nd and was several seconds behind Ballance on the third lap. Bill Ballance attempted to pass a lapper, and they became tangled which caused him to wreck. William Yokley quickly moved into the lead while Ballance remounted his YFZ450.

William Yokley here is being assisted by Martin from Elka to get off the Main track on a alternative line to avoid stuck racers at the top of the hill.
