Professionals competed in either the five-hundred-cc or two-hundred-fifty-cc classifications with a pair of twenty-minute races in each class each night. Weinert -- a heavy favourite to win the five-hundred-cc took the first moto Friday night, but Austin Texas native, Steve Stackables captured two of the final three heats to edge Weinert for that title. Nineteen-year-old Jimmy Ellis turned the two-fifty-cc competition into a laugher, taking the first three motos and finishing second in that classification final race. The Dallas event was the first of a three-part series which moves to Daytona, Florida, next weekend and then on to Houston--leaving behind dozens of bumps and lumps, a Dallas record for motorcross attendance and all that dirt in a Texas stadium."
