The 2010 Norm Carr ½ mile Classic in Belleville, Ontario proved to be a controversial one, with the exclusion of the defending champion in the last final race despite his taking of the checkered flag!
Jeff Orosz lead a field of riders to defend his CMA #1 plate for 2010 at this ½ mile event, these included reigning 2010 Canadian Speedway Champion, Aaron Hesmer, Rob Dixon, C.J. Hesmer, Gary Moody, Glenn Brown, Terry Rideout and Mike Hammond.
The heat races were all fast and furious leaving the crowd to ponder on what will the final race of the day produce? Aaron Hesmer in his first ½ mile race, produced some great speed and kept the ½ mile specialists, Hammond, Orosz and Dixon on their toes during the heat races, in his quest to gain the crowning glory of the ultimate dream, of holding the #1 plate for Canada.
The final race was set with Orosz, Dixon, Hammond, Aaron Hesmer, C.J. Hesmer, Terry Rideout, Brown, and Moody taking to the line.
Rob Dixon dropped a cracker and flew into turn one ahead of the pack, he looked good and was disappointed when C.J. Hesmer crashed in turn 3 and the race was stopped. Up and OK, Hesmer joined his fellow riders for the restart. However, Orosz made the biggest error of his racing career, when he changed bikes following a mechanical problem, and under the ½ mile race ruling, Orosz was allowed to do this and has to start from the penalty line, Unfortunately for Orosz, he went to the line and took the race by storm, being chased hard by Aaron Hesmer but as he completed the race, he was disqualified for his error, leaving the win and the award of the CMA #1 plate to Aaron Hesmer in the total points accumulated for the season.
Behind Hesmer, a surprise second place was awarded to Mike Hammond, Third to Rob Dixon, Fourth to Glenn Brown, Fifth to Terry Rideout, Sixth to C.J. Hesmer, Seventh to Gary Moody and Eighth to Jeff Orosz.
Congratulations the Aaron Hesmer for his completion of both Canadian titles, in superb winning style throughout 2010. A very well deserving rider, who really has hit his peak at all the Canadian tracks!
