Orosz takes D1 and Bennett D2!!

With another solid field of speedway riders from both Division 1 and Division 2 the night was poised to be a good one!
The evening began with Division 2 riders, Tim Murray, Mike Hammond, Gary Moody, Allan Chisholm and John Bennett taking to the track. Tim Murray took a commanding lead from the gate leaving John Bennett and Mike Hammond to battle it out for 2nd place. Gary Moody joined into the fun as the race progressed and kept Mike Hammond busy! Tim Murray, John Bennett, Mike Hammond, Gary Moody and Allan Chisholm finishing in this order.
The first Division 1 race with Aaron Hesmer, Chris Hesmer, Fred Legault and Terry Rideout positioned in this order at the gate. Chris Hesmer took a good lead ahead of Fred Legault with Aaron Hesmer and Terry Rideout off the pace. Coming into the 3 rd turn Terry Rideout slid off and the race was stopped. On the restart. Aaron pushed ahead of brother Chris Hesmer to take the win from the tapes.
The 2nd Division 1 race had the crowd on their feet as Jeff Orosz, Joe Heye, Rob Dixon and Gary Hesmer lined up for the start. Orosz gained the lead into the first corner but was being pressured by Joe Heye. The battle behind them with Rob Dixon and Gary Hesmer was as entertaining as the duel in front of them. The crowd enjoyed 2 races in one with Rob Dixon taking 3 laps to push his way past Gary Hesmer, grabbing 3rd place. In front of them, a battle of skill and track knowledge was being played out with Joe Heye all over Jeff Orosz for all 4 laps. The most exciting conclusion to the race was the final run to the line, with Joe Heye grabbing the win by less than half a wheel! Superb racing by all these riders!
Round 2 began with Division 2 riders Tim Murray, Mike Hammond, Gary Moody, Allan Chisholm and John Bennett. Mike Hammond in gate 4 took a commanding lead for the whole race, which left Tim Murray to push John Bennett for 2 laps, then passing him on lap 3, but with John Bennett pushing hard, Tim Murray went off the racing line and both John Bennett and Gary Moody raced past leaving Tim to take 4th spot ahead of Allan Chisholm.
Division 1, 2nd round saw Jeff Orosz, Chris Hesmer, Aaron Hesmer and Fred Legault finishing in this order from the tapes.
Joe Heye, Gary Hesmer, Terry Rideout and Rob Dixon began their final heat race with Joe Heye leading into turn one. With Terry Rideout pushing too hard he once again, slid out to stop the race. The restart allowed him to capitalize upon the 10-yard penalty, by charging after both Gary Hesmer and Rob Dixon and he managed to split them on lap 2 but was unable to get to the flying Joe Heye.
The Finals were sadly dampened by two bad crashes in the same race. The Division 2 final was poised to be a good one. Tim Murray took off from gate one like a rocket into turn 1 with Mike Hammond in hard pursuit. Sadly for Tim Murray, Mike Hammond's momentum and inexperience saw him hit Tim Murray's back wheel from the inside, throwing Tim Murray into the air in spectacular fashion leaving him crashing down on his right leg. The immediate diagnosis was that he may have broken his knee or leg, but ligament damage is the outcome with surgery set for Wednesday this week. Kyle Legault was first to assist in the care for Tim Murray trackside, himself recovering from a broken leg injury. The delay was long to allow the ambulance to care for Tim. The race, restarted with Mike Hammond 10 yards back, was going really well with Hammond getting into a good race with Gary Moody, but then disaster happened, Gary Moody came out of corner 4 hard and lost the race line at the start/finish line and smashed hard into the boards and safety fence, amazingly, Mike Hammond who was literally right behind him, raced between the fallen Moody and the fence to avoid another collision. Gary Moody proved that good safety equipment is essential, and after some medical treatment, stood up and waved to the crowd. His crash helmet however, didn't come off so well as it was spilt nearly in half! John Bennett was awarded the win as 3 laps had been completed.
The B-Main Division 1 final was between Fred Legault, Rob Dixon and Terry Rideout. From the tapes Fred Legault took the lead ahead of Rob Dixon, who pushed Fred Legault to the line, Terry Rideout sadly had mechanical problems and coasted home.
The A final saw Jeff Orosz, Joe Heye, Aaron Hesmer, Chris Hesmer and Gary Hesmer line up. Jeff Orosz took gate 1 and flew ahead of the pack being chased hard by Joe Heye. Chris Hesmer kept on the pace until Aaron Hesmer passed him on lap 2, Jeff Orosz going on to win for the second week in succession.
