NO SPEEDWAY RACING THIS SATURDAY (DEC 13) AT
CHOWCHILLA. |

Effective January 10th racing will begin
at 4:30p.m. Practice will begin at 3:00. The days at chowchilla had become
rather long running with both carts and flat track classes. The new
schedule will have NO CARTS. This will eliminate 20 races and considerably speed up the program. Anybody who hasn't had the chance to make it out you are missing out on some great racing. Many thanks to all of those who have came out to support this new track. If there are any riders wishing to race please give me a call. Come once and I know you will come back. We have know run 5 rounds and the racing just keeps getting better. This week we will welcome Chris "The Tiger" Kerr and his teammate Billy "Haybail" Hiles. Hopefully we can talk Rachelle into riding as well. We have had many great riders out and are expecting many more. Robert Mellor (916) 771 4629 |

Chowchilla, CA January 10, 2004 Chowchilla has been running Speedway since October, with a small number of Speedway riders, but last night was the first time there was a large turn out. Its a covered facility, so is unaffected by weather conditions. The price to pay for this is the noise. The program interleaved Speedway into what was primarily a flat track meeting, and the Speedway riders were quite an attraction. Compared to the flat track the races were much shorter, and in my opinion much more interesting. I hope this generated more interest for Northern California and Southern California riders to support this facility. Unofficial results Division 1 Bryan Yarrow Chris Kerr JT Mabry Greg Searle Vance Felicio Bryan and Chris had a good race out front, JT and Vance Felicio diced for third place until Vance fell, and the race was called. It was good to see Robbie Sauer and Billy Hiles riding earlier in the day, but neither competed in the main event. Robbie, who comes from Bakersfield made it up to Chowchilla in less than two hours. Division 2 Teddy Taylor Guy Jessop Brian Leland Kjell Lovlien Steve Rowett It was good to see Teddy Taylor back on a Speedway bike, thanks to the loan of Greg Howell’s bike. The reason was an early practice in preparation for competing in a couple of ice racing rounds. Teddy was a top flat track racer in the nineties, including a third place in the Sacramento mile in 1993, riding as a privateer, again America’s top factory riders.
Division 2 Consolation Division 3
2003 National Champion, Alex Marcucci, showed why he is National
Champion, with a good win, in the Youth Class. Paul Johnson took a tumble on
the first lap first time out and came back from the handicap line to quickly
capture second place. |

Chowchilla, CA - February 28, 2004 Matt Browne wins Main Event John Houston makes his speedway return at chowchilla finishing first in his first heat race beating myself and Steve Lewotsky. Finished second to Matt Brown in his second heat then took a spectacular fall in his third heat with multiple cartwheels down the front straight. Spent a while inside the ambulance but then left in his own car. I have not received an update on his condition but will post it as soon as I hear. Main Event (restarted) Matt Browne J.T. Mabry Robert Mellor( penalty line) Steve Lewotsky Mike Browne (dns) Brian Daland continues to dominate the support class and has nearly locked up the points title for Chowchilla Winter series. Clark Caravella is close but would need Brian to miss races in order to catch up. Kjell Lovlien is third. Support Class Brian Daland Kjell Lovlien Clark Caravella Greg Lovlien |

Chowchilla, CA - March 6, 2004 Greg Hooten Jr. Wins Main Chris Kerr was unbeatable in the heats and looked to be running away with the main when he missed the line going in to turn one on lap 4 and slid out. J.R. came from the back passing Brown, Bertolucci, and then Kerr to take his first main at Chowchilla. The race was restarted twice. First for Hooten who got taken wide and into a hay bail and experienced a nasty get off and once for Brown going down in turn four on the first lap of the restart. Track was tricky and looked to change with each heat. Lewotsky took the win in Div.-2 and the battle continued in div.-3 with Brian Daland taking the win over Clark Caravella. Big Vinnie rolled out his new short stroke and pulled double duty competing in both d-1 and d-2 winning 3 D-2 heats And taking second in the D-1 Main. Only 3 weeks left. Robert Mellor A slight adjustment in Chowchilla results the 2nd Div 2 Heat Gregg Hooten Sr. seemed to be a sure winner in the heat when suddenly his motor seized. Leaving the door open for Vince Bertolucci to steal a heat which for sure Gregg Hooten would have won. |
