Casey Donholt had a good night winning the scratch main after two restarts. The first time Donholt was away first but the outside slider did not go up which brought about a restart. On the second try Tuff McBride was leading but a pile up brought out another restart. The third time it was Donholt again as he made a solid gate and won with McBride second.

Jeff Garlinghouse rode very well making his first Handicap Main in Div 1. Corey Brookes was very impressive coming from the 30 yard line in his first Handicap Main on a 500 to take the victory. Jerry Harman also stepped up his game for a good night.

The support A racing was excellent. All the riders rode great. Dwight Basa led for most of the final before falling but he is showing signs of becoming quite the racer. Ray Barondick is also enjoying a great comeback. Cole Farwell did not get the results he wanted last night but puts on a very exciting show.
Garlinghouse was very consistent and controlled. Stefan Laessig was awesome in his handicap heat race taking the win.

The much anticipated return of "Dangerous" Dan Harbst brought entertainment and fortunately no crashes. Don Wheel and won his first two heats and took a second in the feature. A well deserved win went to Brian Bailey. New rider Bill Papula was third with Dangerous in fourth and another brand new rider, 14 year old Alex Mann, in fifth.
