The Welland event on Saturday night produced a great night of racing. With 8 Division 1 riders and 4 Division 2 riders, the program was set for a great spectacular event.

The night started with D2 racing, this was what the crowd wanted to see! John Bennett took a commanding lead in the first heat but was hunted down and passed on the front straight on lap 3, by the ever-improving Terry Rideout to take a good win.

The D1 first heat caused quite a stir, when Rob Dixon looped at the start, he just got too much grip and up she went! Recovering quickly, he re-started from the 15 yard line, but was unable to catch the pack of John Kehoe, Jeff Orosz and Aaron Hesmer. Jeff doing a strong job to keep these guys back!

The second D1 heat was also full of surprises, Gary Hesmer got a great start but lost grip on his back wheel on bend one and spun around, leaving him well behind! Chris Hesmer suffered mechanical failure while challenging Joe Heye who was pushing hard to catch a flying Marc Gauthier. Marc took a good win! The second round of heats drew more fun as the D2 guys went at it, with Tim Murray coming hard out of the gate to take a good lead with John Bennett and Terry Rideout fighting for places, John was firmly in 2nd place when Terry challenged hard and they both wobbled and John went down. He regained composure and finished behind Allan Chisholm.

Marc Gauthier went really hard in the next heat after leaving Aaron Hesmer behind him to battle it out with John Kehoe, Chris Hesmer once again suffered from a mechanical gremlin as he was forced to cruised around. The final D1 heat was all Jeff Orosz, he went hard and led the pack to win well. The D2 final was an amazing race by Tim Murray, he rode out of his skin to take a beautiful win! This was not easy though, John Bennett chased him hard with the crazy man Terry Rideout pulling off some rider splitting moves and hard in and outs, This race was fantastic and John and Terry gave all the guests their monies worth - Congratulations to Tim Murray for an outstanding ride!

The D1 B-Main was also a real eye-opener for all. The race was very close with Chris hesmer taking a good lead from Gary Hesmer and Rob Dixon, but Chris seemed to suffer more gremlins and Gary passed on lap 2, then as Chris was coming out of turn 4 on lap 3, his engine seized solid and he somehow saved a disaster with the bike buckling awkwardly under him, he came to an upright stop on the start line and the bike wouldn't move!!!

With great sportsman-like thoughts he threw the bike down and dragged the bike off the track allowing Gary Hesmer to take his win! - Good job Chris! The Main D1 final was all Jeff Orosz, having been forced to change his bike and use his back-up due to some mechanical problems, he sped away from the rest of the riders and took a commanding lead to win well!
