A total of 265 riders from all over the state participated in the event, which was sponsored by the National Pedal Sports Association. It's the second largest number of riders who have participated in a supercross this year. The top team was Carl's Well Service of West Palm Beach with 128 points, while Bike Shop of St. Petersburg was second with 127. Among the top local finishers was Deanna Merrill of Umatilla, who was third in the girls 11-12-year-old division.

Jeff Campbell, 7, of Altoona, won in the beginners class, and Phillip Johnson of Umatilla was third.

The program wasn't without incidents. Several riders were injured during the event and were treated at Waterman Medical Center in Eustis. None were hospitalized.

Many of the injuries occurred during accidents on the Alligator Alley portion of the course a double jump on the back stretch. The only reason for the accidents is the kids haven't practiced it enough," saidAl Merrill, the track's designer. "You have some kids who feel they can clear it both bumps but can't. It's just a judgment thing."
