Program notes by Kim Gregory
For the first time this season, Gary Hesmer wins the Main Event Final.
He has won the Handicap Final here on June 18
and had a string of second place finishes, keeping him tied for the
Points Championship with Freddy Legault. He started his first heats on
his cousin's (Aaron Hesmer) laydown GM, but could not get the power to the track.
He switched back to his 898 upright for the win.
The Main Event had a terrific start with Nick Fafard out in front and Freddy, Gary and Greg Comstock, side by side, tied for second, until turn three where Greg (outside) went down. The race was restarted with Greg on the penalty line. Nick was not prepared for the referee's quick start, and Gary Hesmer pulled off a good gate, and held it for the win. Nick got second, followed by Freddy and Greg. Greg won the first heat on his new backup laydown and looked smoother on it tonight, but didn't recover from his crash, and penalty line start.
The handicap race had Division Two rider Byron Ambro hold first for most of the race. He rode a very steady, close line, keeping far enough ahead not to be challenged until Joe Heye got past him near the end for the win.
Division two gave us the most passing and thrills of the night ending with a close battle in the Main Event between Joe Heye and Casey Franic, with Heye taking the win. Michel Lemay from Quebec (his second night on this track) took third, followed by Byron Ambro.
13 year old Jeremy Musson won the Division Three, second week in a row!
