| By Gary Roberts USA - Auburn - August 3, 2001
Another pleasant summer evening at Auburn. As has
become the norm here now, the track was heavy early on, but turned into a great racing
surface by the end of the evening.
Scratch Main
1 Bobby Hedden
2 Bartlomiej Bartecki
3 Chris Manchester
4 Eric Carrillo
Bobby Hedden, riding a brand new out of the box GM, rode invincibly, to take "The
Double," the scratch main and the handicap main. Polish visitor Bartlomiej
Bartecki did incredibly well, by getting second. This was the first time he had
ridden on a less than quarter mile track.
Scratch Consi
1 Bart Bast
2 Dukie Ermolenko
3 Tommy Hedden
4 Mike Faria
Handicap Main
1 Bobby Hedden (50)
2 Jim Estes (30)
3 Eric Carrillo (30)
4 Josh Larsen
5 Chad Felicio (30)
6 Tommy Hedden (40)
Bobby Hedden won the admiration of everyone, by riding an outside line. He followed
the same line and got past the entire field. Another holiday-maker, enjoying a
relaxing vacation in nearby Reno, NV, Jim Estes stopped by to take second place.
Handicap Consi
1 Bart Bast (50)
2 Chris Manchester (50)
3 Tom Adams (0)
4 Bartlomiej Bartecki (30)
Mike Faria (50) and Paul Orlandi both qualified, but were non-starters. Mike had a
broken frame and Paul was not feeling well.
