Did not get to the track championship on Aug 22. Heard that
Louis Kossuth won with a max 15 and
Bobby Heddon was second after a run off
with
Bart Bast...
From: Eris Carrillo
"Last Friday, Eric Carrillo won Auburn's Junior Division One Track Championship.
Being consistant was the key. His first heat he was only third, the second heat
2nd, and won the last one hands down. After watching the video, it looks like
Bryon Yarrow was trying to get by him on the last corner of the last lap
and he went down by himself, backing it in too hard. All Bryon needed was a 2nd
to clinch the title. "

Appologies for the
delay in posting, I was out of town.
Louis Kossuth rode flawlessly to five wins and looked like a winner from
the start. Bart Bast was somehow not up to his usual standard, losing
points to Sisemore and Kossuth, then losing the run-off for second place
to Bobby Hedden.
Bob Hicks was down on points from what was expected, losing 3 certain
points to a mechanical failure.
Also riding very fast was Billy Janniro, who also lost 3 points when his
rear chain snapped.
Most spectacular move of the evening went to Vance Felicio who reared
coming out of turn 2 and went through the crash wall, taking out an 8x4
section of plywood and framing. Fortunately nobody was on the other
side, and although shaken, Vance was OK. It could have been very nasty.
The top 8 point scorers from divisions 2 and 3 ran two qualifying heats,
with first 2 places going to finals.
