Tim Gomez turned in an impressive performance and was victorious in the main event on Quaid Harley Davidson Night at Inland Motorcycle Speedway in San Bernardino.
Gomez, starting in gate two, made the best start in the main event and led the field into turn one. Gomez stretched his lead the first two laps before Steve Russell began to cut into his lead. Russell closed in on the leader and was within striking distance on the final lap. Gomez kept his composure, though, and held on for the victory. Russell settled for second, Josh Abbott was third, Michael Raines finished fourth, and Shawn “Mad Dog” McConnell was fifth.
Gomez opened the evening by passing Dale Facchini for the lead and the victory in the first heat. McConnell defeated Russell in the second heat. Abbott ended the first round by capitalizing on a Mike Faria mistake for a well-deserved win.
The second round started with Gomez using the outside to take the lead and then romped to his second win. Russell defeated Faria in the next heat. Raines beat Tyson Talkington to end round two.
Abbott began the final round of heats with a victory over Doug Nicol. Russell beat McConnell in the next heat for his second win in a row. Faria handed Gomez his only defeat in the final heat.
Abbott impressively held off an onslaught from McConnell in a runoff for the third and final direct spot in the main.
The first attempt to run the Last Chance ended when Faria went down and brought out the red flag. An injured knee prevented the former National Champion for taking part of the restart. The second try concluded with Facchini and Raines getting together and falling in turn two. McConnell led the third attempt with Raines in second when Facchini fell on the third lap and caused another stoppage. The win was awarded to McConnell with second, and the final main-event transfer, going to Raines.
Geoff Herkner made the best start and led all four laps ahead of a hard-charging Aaron Fox to win the Second Division Main Event. Kevin Wybenga finished third and Dylan Black was fourth.
Chris Jones led the first two laps of the Third Division Main Event and was awarded the victory when Steve Brown fell and brought out the red flag. Mike Fuson was second, Jim Gardner was third, and Kip McClain was fourth.
Brian Motis and Brandi McElroy led the Sidecar Main Event into the first corner, but their lead only lasted into turn three when Kevin Brown and Matt Davis took over. National Champions Joe Jones and Jimmy Olsen went up the inside of Brown and Davis entering turn one the second time and took the lead.
Jones and Olsen extended opened a comfortable lead and led to the checkered flag. Gerard Jackson and Dave German finished second, Motis and McElroy were third, Edwin Soto and Daniel Strickland finished fourth, and Brown and Davis were fifth.
