With the regular four riders attending, to dedicate the night's event to the sad passing of Graham Wale on this Friday. The riders all showed great respect with a moment of silence to remember "Pirate" Graham at the riders meeting, and the speedway guys all wore back arm-bands in honor of this great guy.
Heat 1:
The riders took to the gate and as they flew away, Mike Hammond popped a huge wheelie with Tommy hensby right behind him, Aaron Deveau and Terry Rideout took of leaving Hammond and Hensby to chase them hard, but on lap 3 Tommy hensby went out too wide and over cooked the slide, leaving him to high-side hard and feel the effects of the hard hit. After regaining his awareness, he was declared unfit to continue on by the medical staff, and was withdrawn from the night's racing.
The restart saw Aaron Deveau take the lead, and hold off Rideout and Hammond, to take the win!
Heat 2:
This heat also saw a rider fall hard on turn 1, hitting the dip out of turn one, Aaron DeVeau was pushing hard when he went down stopping the race. After some quick mechanical work he was penalized and restarted on the 15-yard penalty line. Terry Rideout took advantage and won the heat as DeVeau pushed Mike Hammond all race.
Heat 3:
Terry Rideout gated well to leave Mike hammond and Aaron DeVeau to follow his dust, evenly spaced finishing by all riders.
Final:
Another restart was forced as Terry Rideout also became a casualty of the turn 2 scenario. He slid out stopping the race, and the restart saw Hammond pull away from Deveau, who had been showing amazing pace on the prior laps. Rideout could not gain the distance and finished in third place.
