Fan Appreciation Night
August 20, 2004 - Fast Fridays, Auburn
By Gary Roberts

Auburn is still enjoying hot weather, although the temperature last night seemed a bit cooler, probably around 80. The track was less dusty than last week, but a lot of riders complained about ruts. A hole going into turn 3 caught a number of them by surprise.

Unofficial results:

Scratch Main
1. Bart Bast
2. Bobby Hedden
3. Chad Felicio
4. Chris Kerr
Bart Bast and Chris Kerr took the gate but came together in turn one, with Chris falling. Bobby Hedden avoided him and Chad Felicio hit his bike, but Chris got up unscathed, expecting a restart. It did not happen. Bart kept the lead with Bobby close behind..

Scratch Consolation
1. Tommy Hedden
2. Greg Hooten Jr.
3. Matt Browne
4. Bryan Yarrow
Tommy Hedden and Bryan Yarrow had a good race, with Bryan on the outside. On the last corner Bryan made a final attempt to ride round the outside, went wide, letting Greg and Matt through.

Handicap Main
1. TJ Fowler (30)
2. Bart Bast (50)
3. Bobby Hedden (50)
4. Mark Carrillo (10)
5. Chris Kerr (40)
6. Chad Felicio (50)
A very well ridden race by TJ Fowler. For the last 3 laps he had Bart in his tail, waiting for him to make a mistake, which didn't happen. TJ has had an outstanding first season. Moving from the front of division 2 to the 40 yard line in one season must be a record. He is certainly the hottest new prospect in Northern California
