This week I was promoted (?) to referee, which made it much easier keeping a program. Results are as follows:
Rick Pearce 15 Randy DiFrancesco 14 Kenny Hansen 12 Brian Burth 11 Kon Baur 11 Brian Thompson 9 Bobby Campbell 9 Bill Green 8 Rudi Maresca 8 Tim Appel 5 Bill Lyons 4 Gerry Duttweiler 4 Marvin Sonnier 3 John VanderMuelen 2 2 rides Jeff Smith 1 Allan Wright 1 4 rides Scott Scarborogh 2 reserve 3 rides John Edwards 1 reserve 1 ride A final: DiFrancesco, Baur, Hansen, Burch, Pearce B final: Baur, Green, Campbell, Thompson, Lyons C final: Lyons, Appel, Duttweiler, Maresca, Edwards (non-starter) D: final: Edwards, Sonnier, Scarboro, Smith
Lots of good races, plenty of overtaking. The track was in good shape and apart from a couple of unpopular referee's decisions and the subsequent fist-fight in the crowd, everything went pretty much to plan.
John VanderMuelen took an awkward tumble and a trip to hospital for an XRay. His diagnosed separated shoulder did not stop him showing up in the pub later.
This was the penultimate in the Photo-Ad Easy-Ad sponsored series. Final round is next Saturday, which is the last race night in the 1996 season.
