Janniro Notches another Scratch Main
By Michael Kirby (Story & Photos)
AUBURN, CALIFORNIA, JUNE 18, 2010

Billy Janniro continued his winning ways, claiming the fastest man of the night title for another week at the Fast Friday’s Motorcycle Speedway at Auburn’s Gold Country Fairgrounds track.   The confident Janniro, using his savvy racing skills and gutsy moves, raced to victory against a talented field in the Division I scratch main event, winning Friday night’s deciding race.  Drawing outside lane four, Janniro lined up at the tapes against Auburn’s Tommy Hedden in lane three, Scott Brant in lane two, and last year’s Fast Friday’s track champion Charlie Venegas in the inside lane one.

Venegas got a good gate and won the inside lane at turn one and did his best to keep Janniro outside for a couple of laps.  Janniro, just outside of Venegas in the thicker part of the track had the speed to pass Venegas outside and hold off a tenacious Venegas challenge, to win the night’s final contest.  Venegas held on for second, Brant was third and Hedden fourth.  Winning six of this seasons seven Division I scratch main events, Janniro is nearly unbeatable, as he continues to be the man to beat each week at Fast Friday’s.  “It’s one week at a time, that’s all you can do, get into the main and try to win,” said Janniro.

Bryan Yarrow got on the winner’s podium for the first time this season winning the Division I handicap main event.  Off the 40 yard line Yarrow was impressive against Hedden also racing off the 40 who finished second and Janniro on the 60 yard line finishing third.  Colfax’s Thomas Reich won the Division II main event and continues to race strongly from the 20-yard line.  Matt Drury was second and Danny Turner third.  Andy Gregg, racing at Fast Friday’s for the first time and taking his riders test just earlier in the evening, won the Division III main event.  Gregg, with a strong racing background gave speedway racing a try with success.  John O’Neill finished second and Billy Parino third.  Tyler Warren won the Youth Division I main event.
