At the GNC Spring National at Lake Whitney Cycle Ranch in Texas, Kawasaki Team Green's Jeff Emig was the big winner in the Senior Minicycle classes, taking five of six moto wins in his three events. Only John Kitsch II kept Emig from making it a clean sweep. The big winner in the 125 and 250 Pro classes was Lowell Thompson, also a Kawasaki Team Green rider.

Howerton won the other two motos, but his middle moto doomed his chances to win with a 1-11-1 tally.
