Champion Speedway 344 East River Drive East Coast Speedway Series A good night of weather finally at Champion Speedway led to a well-run program that started on time and concluded by 10:15! The track has had rain most race nights this season that has either delayed or canceled the program! There was a nice turnout of speedway riders an ATV's and Trikes on hand. The speedway program used the Olympique format for the first time at the track, which is an earned handicapping format. Riders started with a scratch heat and then the winner would have to come from the 30 yard line the next time out, 2nd place would come from the 20, 3rd from the 10 and last from the zero. Three wounds of racing took place with the top 4 going to the scratch main and the next 4 to the last chance. The winner of the last chance would gain the last berth in the main. Those 5 riders, plus the 2nd place rider in the scratch last chance, would also take part in the evening's handicap main! Len McBride, Casey Donholt and Adam Mittl all tied for top scorer with 11 points each in the Olympique format. Donholt won the coin toss for first gate pick and chose gate 5 where there was a nice dirt line for traction. Donholt put his Sammy Tanner Arai Helmets sponsored Jawa out front off the start and held off several hard charges from Adam Mittl of Endicott, who was riding his Justice Bros./ Arai Helmets/ Scott's Headers/ Tanks Auto/ Oury Grips sponsored GM to take his 5th Main Event win of the season! McBride, who resides in Windsor, was having a great night, took a solid 3rd. Donholt, of Port Crane, would also take the Handicap main event win! Young Mason Higley from Towanda, PA was victorious in the D-2 feature! Lonni Whitmore of Nichols added to his collection of Quad Pro wins while Jimmer Ulrich won again in the Quad Am Final! The next event at Champion Speedway is August 11th, the Larry and Kathy McBride Memorial. The facility is also looking to possibly add an event August 18th in place of the race which was rained off July 14th. Keep a watch on the champion speedway page on www.speedwaybikes.com for information. The New York State Championship is planned for August 25th!
