Champion - Owego, New York, USA - June 14, 2008
By Jason Bonsignore

Another great night at Champion. It was our best crowd in 4 years. It just keeps getting better each week. We also had a great back gate turnout...70 competitors to be exact! They all did a great job also.

Tom Burge, Cam Rafferty and Craig Estelle all rode very well for taking long layoffs. Congrats to Casey Donholt for winning the scratch and especially to Tuff McBride who won the handicap main for his Dad!

The large crowd sat there in the pouring rain to watch the whole thing. I couldn't believe it. In the past when the weather was bad we couldn't even get people to show up at the track but this time the all sat there in the puring rain, many with umbrellas as we soldiered on. It looked like a British League meeting! What great fans! The only glaring problem was the program was quite long which we intend to fix but it was tough with the weather and having to make track adjustments and such.

I can't thank everyone enough that helped and great job to the riders who made riding a very heavy and wet track early on look so easy! SPEEDWAY IS REALLY COMING BACK IN NY. Lets keep this going good next Friday at Action Park! Looks like we have another strong turnout of riders for June 28, the Omar Lightner NYS Championship Round.
