Aaron Hesmer completed his 100% run of wins at the Paris Speedway event on Friday night, as cousin Gary left it too late in the final event to just miss out on the win.
The feat for Aaron was also incredible due to two factors as well, one he ran out of gas as he went over the line and he was riding an older upright loaner bike which used to belong to fan favorite for years ago, "Tiger" Tom Marriott. Tom's bike had been purchased by GT Tuning Canada last year for use in the training schools, and Tom Murray owner of GT Tuning Canada, had bought two bikes to give a test for the up and coming schools. Aaron showed that he can make any bike a winner, and did a great job blasting around on this older Jawa!
Katalin Davis and Tommy Hensby both arrived at the track and found that the gremlins had been busy on their bikes. Both suffering with intermittent ignition problems which found them riding different bikes throughout the night. Katalin was a bit unsure of riding the 'Marriott' machine so she opted to ride Aaron Hesmer's bike for the night, and Tommy rode both the GT Tuning bikes, before getting aboard his own after some frantic work in the pits.
Katalin rode very well and made the final event, where she finished fourth, behind Mike Hammond who was very quick and smooth on a superbly prepared track by Mike Zelaska. The track was privy to a major overhaul this week, and Zelaska's dedication and hard work, was repaid in a superb night of racing for everyone!
Gary Moody came for his first outing of the year, and did a commendable job on the smaller track. Sadly though, he crashed out in the consi final while being chased hard by Tommy Hensby, his bike seemed to lose power going into turn 3 and it hooked and threw him into the path of the charging Hensby, who did well to avoid the fallen Moody, to take the race win.
