Fast Fridays, Auburn, California USA - May 11, 2007
By Gary Roberts

The Fast Fridays of Auburn season opened in front of a good crowd, with ideal weather conditions. Southern California resident Charlie Venegas made his trip up to Auburn worth while by winning the Scratch main event, ahead of local men Bast, Yarrow and Faria. Fast gating and a flawless 4 laps gave him the top award.

Auburn’s Josh West got closer every week last season to winning a Handicap Main event, but never quite made it. This week his persistence paid off, with a fine win over local riders Bart Bast and JJ Martynse.

Last year’s Youth National Champion, Ricky Felicio won the Division 2 main with very fast newcomer Beau Judge taking the Division 3 main.
