The third event of the Auburn season. The weather has been hot in Auburn for the past 3
weeks but the track was in good shape and held out for most of the evening. Although it
went a bit dry at the end, with little room for passing, most competitors seemed pleased
with it.
Scratch Main
1 Mike Faria
2 Bart Bast
3 Chris Manchester
4 Chad Felicio
Felicio’s motorcycle died as the tapes went up. The race was Faria from the gate. Manny tried to get around Bart, unsuccessfully.
Scratch Consi
1 Paul Orlandi
2 Eric Carrillo
3 Rich Marcucci
4 Ivan Sevart
Just as it looked like the youngsters were having a successful evening, 40+ers, Orlandi and Marcucci stormed from the gate, leaving teenagers Carrillo and Sevart in their dust. Rich went wide on the third lap letting Eric through, but Paul Orlandi made no mistakes.

He got around Scott, then did a great job to hold off Faria and Hedden for the rest of the race.
