From Gary Roberts

Another pleasantly hot Auburn evening. A tractor pull last weekend made track conditions for some of the earlier heats a bit rough,
but by the end of the evening there was a good track, demonstrated by some very good races, due to several race lines in the main events.
Scratch Main
1 Mike Faria
2 Josh Larsen
3 Bart Bast
4 Billy Janniro

Mike Faria made the gate but for 3 laps the main race was between Josh Larsen on the inside and Billy Janniro on the outside for second place. Janniro even pulled up along side Mike at one stage, then on the last lap he went wide, ending up with last place. Mike had a busy evening, at one stage being forced to change an engine over.
