In one of the most spectacular crashes in recent memory, reigning Canadian Speedway Champion Jeff Orosz, was caught up in a frightening accident in the final speedway race of the night.
After Aaron Hesmer's jump in the first attempt, he was put back 15 yards to chase hard C.J. Hesmer, Jeff Orosz and Gary Hesmer in the final race.
Jeff Orosz was charging after a cool calm C.J. Hesmer when coming out of turn 4 on lap 2, he clipped Hesmer's back wheel and lost control of the bike, face-planting himself through the safety fence just in front of Roger Stevens, the event referee. After seeking medical treatment on the track, Orosz was up and walking back to pits behind his totally destroyed bike! C.J. Hesmer's bike was beaten hard and the chain had come off leaving him to actually being forced to lay the bike done in the first corner. At the pit gate riders including the bruised and beaten Orosz, worked frantically to get Hesmer's bike workable for the rerun. The all Hesmer final was a cracker with Aaron still starting 15 yards back, but catching cousin Gary in 3 laps to pass in him in Tomas Gollab fashion around the boards in the dirt! Then disaster again for C.J. Hesmer, while leading well, his chain came off due to the twisted frame of the bike and both cousins were forced to take evasive actions to miss the C.J.! So the night belonged to the hard charging Aaron Hesmer once again!
Mike Hammond, Terry Rideout and Tommy Hensby also starred in their consi-final. Hensby was privy to the best seat in the house, as he followed the fast and close racing between Rideout and Hammond. Rideout dodging in and out to gain the magic pass on lap 3 to take a good win from a great looking Hammond!
Simon Bennington was also at the track with his 1000cc speedway sidecar unit. With Father Gordon, back in the UK, Simon was poised to drive this beast with pillion passenger Todd Vallee holding on for grim death! Simon and Todd worked really well together and had some very fast controlled laps to the delight of riders and fans alike!
Superb night of racing which complimented a huge field of ATV's and flat track bikes!
Come out next week and see another weekly treat at Paris Speedway!
