The final speedway event at the Welland County Motorcycle Club event was a huge success!
The addition of two new riders allowed Mike Hammond to join Aaron Hesmer, C.J. Hesmer, Terry Rideout, Fred Legault, Rob Dixon, Joe Heye and Jeff Orosz in the Division 1 class. Allan Chisholm was joined in Division 2 by Jim Carver a top moto-x rider and flat track specialist Scott Thompson to try their skills in speedway racing!
The night began with Jim Carver unable to get the borrowed bike started. Despite having it running pre-race, it just wouldn't go! This left both Allan Chisholm and Scott Thompson to battle it with Thompson getting his first win!
Round 1 of the Division 1 heats saw Fred Legault dominated from the tapes. Behind him Terry Rideout and Joe Heye battled for 3 laps until Heye passed on turn 2 to take second place. Mike Hammond was on the pace well until he slid out on lap 3, remounted and finished well!
The next heat saw the season long battle continue between Jeff Orosz and Aaron Hesmer. C.J. Hesmer and Rob Dixon joined in the fun as Orosz took a good solid lead ahead of the two Hesmer boys who fought for all 4 laps in a race of their own! Dixon followed very closely behind to complete the field.
Round 2 in Division 2 saw all three riders start the race. Scott Thompson took the lead as Allan Chisholm followed. Jim Carver's inexperience of speedway clutch starts, led to him trail for the heat.
The Division 1 heat was won from the gate. Jeff Orosz took the first turn and never looked back! Joe heye pushed C.J. Hesmer but was unsuccessful in his attempts to grab second place. Terry Rideout also pushed Heye, but all too late to make an impact!
Round two for Aaron Hesmer brought good fortune, he dominated the field of Rob Dixon, Fred Legault and Mike Hammond.
The final races of the night bought some excitement for the fans! The Division 2 final, again saw Chisholm, Thompson and Carver at the line. Scott Thompson again flew to grab the lead, with Allan Chisholm chewing at his heels, Jim carver was having some bike troubles and fell awkwardly in turn 4 on lap 2 but was able to get up and with sportsman like class, allow the race to continue. Thompson looked to have control of the race until turn 3 of lap 3, when he got his leg caught in the wheel and began a high speed wheel wobble, amazingly he maintained control but this allowed Allan Chisholm to take his first Divisional win for 2009!
The Division 1 consi was run with Rob Dixon, Mike Hammond and Terry Rideout. Rideout took the lead from the tapes and Dixon paced himself well to grab a good solid pass on lap 3 on the back straight, Ron Dixon maintained his pace to take a well =deserved checkered flag! Also a worthy note must be mentioned of Mike Hammond's attempt to assist the cause and race with the ‘top guns', he really showed that his riding level has risen to the level required to continue his racing in 2010 against these guys!
The main ‘A' Final was set with a five man race. Aaron Hesmer, C.J. Hesmer, Fred Legault, Jeff Orosz and Terry Rideout all took their place at the tapes to fly into turn 1 with Jeff Orosz pulling away from the pack and he never looked back to see the Hesmer boys at it again! This time Aaron proved too much and took the second place away from C.J. Joe Heye tried to gain pace on C.J. but to no avail settling for a fourth place with Fred Legault disappointing finishing in fourth place.
A great night and the class of riding was fitting of the standards that have been set for 2009! Good job done by all!
