A very hot and sticky afternoon welcomed a large crowd to the Paris Fair race. A 2:00pm start enabled Mike Zelaska to prepare the track with loads of water, as the effect of the dust was a concern for the Fair and the afternoon managed to hold it back to a reasonable level for all! Sadly though, the level of racing was reduced due to the excess water needed to retract the dust, but all the riders produced the best show possible!
The day began with our quad riders taking to the track, Jeremy Zelaska, Travis Carpenter, Jason Law and Clark Viol all produced some close side by side racing, and Jeremy Zelaska did a super job in holding back the 450cc units behind his 350cc machine! Travis produced some close racing with Jason, thus producing a well-deserved round of applause from the large audience every race! They all produced a high level of skill and did a great job!
Our P85 flat track riders returned to also put on a superb selection of races! Matt Sehl joined Braden Vallee and Nathan Hammond and raced hard every race. Nathan Hammond suffered some mechanical gremlins but managed to rejoin some races! Matt Sehl again showed the crowd why he is the current Canadian points leader, he rode hard and fast to win the day's final event well!
Our Division 2 riders, Mike Hammond and Tommy Hensby were joined by Katalin Davis to round the class. All the races produced some very close and contact riding between Hammond and Davis with Hensby sensibly staying behind them. Mike Hammond slid out in round 2 and Katalin Davis laid the bike down superbly to avoid any further problems. The restart was dominated by Katalin to take a good win. Round 4 saw two crashes, Hammond and Davis again were side by side in turn 4 when they clashed and Hammond went down tumbling into the boards. Up and on, the restart saw the trailing Hensby hit the dirt with his foot peg on the last lap coming into turn 3, his bike twisted beneath him awkwardly and he high sided with his foot becoming entangled in his front wheel. After some assistance he was up and ok and his bike needed some TLC, which Jeff Orosz jumped in to get it straight for Tommy to continue. The final race of the day for them all, saw Katalin Davis produced a fine display ahead of Mike Hammond and Tommy Hensby.
The Division 1 riders, Aaron Hesmer, Rob Dixon, Jeff Orosz, Terry Rideout and Joe Heye all produced some good riding. Terry Rideout was having an off day with a few slide-outs on the wet surface as he battled hard to gain position from the tapes in turn 2. Jeff Orosz spent the afternoon trying to gain momentum of the ever-changing track surface and lost a really good lead to Aaron Hesmer in their second round race. Joe Heye and Rob Dixon also pushed hard and gave the other a run for their money! Aaron Hesmer put his best foot forward and kept a firm hold on all the heat races. He was very smooth and composed which really paid off as he took a very well deserved checkered flag every race!
The final race was an absolute cracker! Aaron Hesmer took gate one and Joe Heye took gate 3, Heye pushed himself hard under Hesmer to take the lead out of turn 2, they then spent the next two laps ducking and diving under and around each other until, Heye slid out on turn 3 and Hesmer took off the grab the win! Jeff Orosz and Rob Dixon battled behind and finished in second and third respectively as Heye remounted and competed the race!
