From Gary Roberts

The third event of the Auburn season. The weather has been hot in Auburn for the past 3 weeks but the track was in good shape and held out for most of the evening. Although it went a bit dry at the end, with little room for passing, most competitors seemed pleased with it.

Scratch Main

1 Mike Faria

2 Bart Bast

3 Chris Manchester

4 Chad Felicio

Felicio's motorcycle died as the tapes went up. The race was Faria from the gate. Manny tried to get around Bart, unsuccessfully.

Scratch Consi

1 Paul Orlandi

2 Eric Carrillo

3 Rich Marcucci

4 Ivan Sevart

Just as it looked like the youngsters were having a successful evening, 40+ers, Orlandi and Marcucci stormed from the gate, leaving teenagers Carrillo and Sevart in their dust. Rich went wide on the third lap letting Eric through, but Paul Orlandi made no mistakes.

2000 Junior National Champion Bryan Yarrow did a perfect Laydown, when Rick Shafer fell in front of him, so did Paul Orlandi. In the restart Bryan started in second place, behind Scott McNeil, but with Faria and Hedden behind him. He got around Scott, then did a great job to hold off Faria and Hedden for the rest of the race.
