Jumpin' Jeff Orosz wins Welland season opener!!
Jeff Orosz went unbeaten Saturday night during the season opener at the Niagara motorcycle raceway. He was briefly pushed by Aaron Hesmer during one race but looked unstoppable all night. Aaron was second in the final with Chris, his older brother third. Rob Dixon and John Kehoe filled the rest of the field for the final and finished in that order.
Heat One:
Jeff Orosz flew away from the pack, followed by Aaron Hesmer, Joe Heye, John Kehoe and Drew Kehoe. The battle was between Joe Heye and John Kehoe all race until on lap 3 Joe Heye hooked up and slid out on corner 4, 1: Jeff - 2: Aaron - 3: John - 4: Drew - 5: Joe (DNF)
Heat Two:
Chris Hesmer and Rob Dixon went side by side into turn 1 with Chris pulling away by corner 2. Terry Rideout pulled a similar move on Gary Hesmer on lap 2 and left Gary Hesmer and Tim Murray to battle out their heat ending positions.
1: Chris - 2: Rob - 3: Terry - 4: Gary - 5: Tim
Heat Three:
Jeff Orosz again pulls a great start and leads the way, John Kehoe and Joe Heye are back at it close racing throughout the race, this adds the fun when John Kehoe also catches up to Jeff Orosz. Terry Rideout's bike seemed to be wobbling and this kept him back from the leading pack, leaving Tim Murray to bring up the rear.
1: Jeff- 2: John - 3: Joe - 4: Terry - 5: Tim
Heat 4:
Aaron Hesmer missed the gate, but pulled back a good recovery to fly past Chris Hesmer and Rob Dixon on lap 1. Rob looked in trouble on the backstretch and pulled back letting Gary Hesmer and Drew Kehoe through, but then sparked back into life and passed both on lap 3. Drew Kehoe also was out of shape on lap 3 leaving Gary Hesmer to go clearly into 4th place.
1: Aaron - 2: Chris - 3: Rob - 4: Gary - 5: Drew
Heat 5:
John Kehoe had a cracking start, pulled away strongly, he looked very smooth throughout the race! Chris Hesmer, Terry and Gary all rode close and hard, and on lap 3 Gary Hesmer`s chain came off coming out of turn 4 and he was sent wobbling along the home straight and crashed hard in turn 1 as the chain hit him between the legs!!! The race continued as John Kehoe took a good win and Tim Murray picked up his first points of the night. Gary was up and ok after a few minutes, but has a very beaten up looking engine case!
1: John - 2: Chris - 3: Terry - 4: Tim - 5: Gary (DNF)
Heat Six:
This race was all Jeff Orosz, from the gate. Drew Kehoe looks to have some mechanical problems as he is lacking power!
1: Jeff - 2: Aaron - 3: Joe - 4: Rob - 5: Drew
Final:
Aaron Hesmer had a terrible start, wheelie out of the gate nearly hitting the other riders, he got control and did a fantastic move to get from last to second in half a lap, full tilt- all action!!! Jeff pulled away but Aaron caught up to him on lap 3, last lap was a nail biter, as Jeff kept a battling Aaron behind to take a well deserved win! Chris Hesmer. Rob Dixon and John Kehoe all were battling their own challenges behind the leading two, but they could do nothing to get by!
1: Jeff - 2: Aaron - 3: Chris - 4: Rob - 5: John
