Brit Kurt Nicoll took the over-50 win. In the over-60 class, Pete Murray won from Andy Jefferson who was the first black pro motocrosser in the USA. He used to race for Pro Circuit Husqvarna in the early 1980s.

Former AMA champion Gary Jones dominated the over-70 class while Chuck Koistra won the over 80s in a race that included former GP rider Lars Larsson and Jim O’Neal, founder of O’Neal clothing. The racing continues on Sunday.
