The sunshine shone all over the Canadian Speedway racing weekend!

CKPC Paris Speedway was played out on a hot and sunny afternoon for the last Sunday Afternoon race until August. A good crowd and good rider attendance gave us a recipe for success!

The field of Aaron Hesmer, Jeff Orosz, Terry Rideout, Doug Beaumont, Joe Heye and Aaron DeVeau, were joined by Graham Wale, Mike Hammond, David Hope, Bob Mosquera, Scott Collier and Tim Murray. Our Junior representation was from Matt Sehl and Braden Vallee.

From the first heat, John Franic the CMA referee was spot on in his delivery of the starts and this was enjoyed by all at the event!

The day opened with the return to Paris for Jeff Orosz, Aaron Hesmer, Doug Beaumont and Michigan based rider, Bob Mosquera. They were all great this day, and had a blast joining in the fun!

The afternoon was packed with action including lightening reflex starts from Tim Murray. Tim has really mastered the starts and with constant actions, he pulled out front in all his heats and the Division 2 Final. Mike Hammond in his second racing event turned up with former British and World Champion Gary Havelock's bike. Mike made the leap from the upright machine to the newer laydown and looked very good. He did however, show great sportsmanship in his quick reactions upon a couple of slide-outs in corner 1. Great Job!

Terry Rideout continues to show his maturity and led the first Division 1 heat from the two top Canadian riders for 2 laps, but was heaved away by Aaron Hesmer who took the easy win!

Jeff Orosz was finding his feet on the newly laid Paris track and he did suffer a few placements due to this. Pulling out of his last heat sadly with mechanical problems, his fellow GT Tuning associate Tim Murray, got his bike onto the track and saved Jeff within the 2 minute limit. Jeff jumped aboard and flew out to a great win leaving the other riders well behind. Aaron Hesmer also suffered a very rare and unusual lift coming out of turn 2 and held on tightly to keep himself in the race. Very impressive bike control!

Braden Vallee spent all afternoon chasing Matt Sehl. Matt the master of the inside line, kept a dodging and diving Braden behind him to take a very deserved checkered flag lap of honor in their final race. These guys really love to race and we thank them for doing just this every week!

The Division 2 final was dominated by the lightening starter Tim Murray! Tim flew out ahead of Graham Wale, Mike Hammond and Bob Mosquera. But Mike Hammond took it upon himself to give Tim some problems event to the point of passing Tim as he went wide coming out of corner 4 on lap 2, but Tim returned the favor and took a commanding win ahead of the pack!

The main Final took 3 starts to get a completed race. Firstly Aaron Hesmer was deemed to jumped at the start by referee John Franic. Sadly for Aaron, the reason for this was a clutch that just wouldn't work for him! The second attempt took place minus Aaron Hesmer due to his clutch seizure! So Joe Heye, Jeff Orosz and Terry Rideout took centre stage. Upon the second start, Jeff Orosz jumped too soon and was put back 10 yards. So with a third attempt, the race began. Joe Heye took a good lead ahead of Terry Rideout until Jeff Orosz flew by Terry on thr first bend. Jeff went in pursuit of Joe and was catching him well, until he sadly hit a rut on corner 2 and Joe pulled away! Congratulations to crowd favorite Joe Heye for a great job, and rounding off a great afternoon of racing at CKPC Paris Speedway!
