Paris speedway was rained off over the weekend however action still took
place at Welland where Aaron Hesmer put down a title marker.
With the Canadian Speedway Championship event just a week away, the anticipation of this event was evident in the pit conversations and the riders, in their preparations of their bikes.
The event saw a welcomed return to Terry Rideout was back from a short well-deserved vacation. He was joined by Mike Hammond, C.J. Hesmer, John Bennett, Jeff Orosz, Gary Hesmer, Glenn Brown, Aaron Hesmer and Rob Dixon to complete in a single class of Division 1 racing.
Round one, began with Brown, Rideout, Dixon, C.J. Hesmer and Hammond taking to the line. C.J. Hesmer took the line and held it to lead the way in front of a charging Hammond, sadly Hammond’s over zealous attempt led to a slide out on turn 2, but he was able to remount and complete the race. With Hesmer leading, Rob Dixon pushed hard but was unable to catch him, leaving Glenn Brown to finish in 3rd and Rideout in 4th.
Heat two had Jeff Orosz, Aaron Hesmer, John Bennett and Gary Hesmer to entertain the crowd. This they did with a from the tapes, with win for Orosz ahead of Aaron Hesmer, Gary Hesmer and John Bennett in that order.
Round two, saw Mike Hammond sensibly riding in front of a great battle between Terry Rideout and Glenn Brown. Brown was leading Rideout for 3 laps, but was unable to hold back a ‘Gollob’ style sweep by Rideout to gain the 4th spot. Aaron Hesmer comfortably held back Orosz the grab the win.
Heat 2 with Rob Dixon, C.J. Hesmer, Gary Hesmer and John Bennett took centre stage for a great race. Dixon charged hard to get to the corner first, but Hesmer was too much as they came onto the back straight, this gave Dixon a real push and they duelled all race, but Hesmer kept his head and took the win. Gary Hesmer well ahead of a well-paced Bennett suffered a last bend mechanical woe to coast over the line, but still grabbed the important 3rd place.
As in previous weeks, coin tosses in the pits were in place for gate positions in the finals, and they all worked out well for the winning riders.
The Consi-Final with Glenn Brown, Mike Hammond, Terry Rideout and John Bennett ensued to be a solid win for the returning Rideout, Hammond again having problems on the turn 3 into 4, slid out twice and was lapped by Bennett to end a miserable night for himself. Glenn Brown also showed that his 2nd outing of the season was a good one with a solid 2nd place finish.
The final was set, as a maybe final for the Championship next week. Jeff Orosz, Aaron Hesmer, Rob Dixon, Gary Hesmer and C.J. Hesmer. The crowd took a big breath as the tapes rose to see Aaron Hesmer shoot to the front ahead of Jeff Orosz, C.J Hesmer, Rob Dixon and Gary Hesmer. The evenly spaced race proved to be just that, and congratulations are in order to Aaron Hesmer for a second week of success at the Welland Speedway track!
