Unofficial Results of the 1999 "Mother's Day Mayhem"
Costa Mesa's "Mother's Day Mayhem" showcased some good racing and a good
crowd considering it's Mother's Day Weekend and that it was very cold
Saturday Night. The reported crowd in the L.A. Times was 5,508.
Bobby "Boogaloo" Schwartz
became the season's first two-time Scratch Main event winner with a
beautiful trap from gate 5 and was never challenged after turn 2. Second
place for the second straight week was
Scott Brant, followed by
Andy "the Enforcer" Northrup,
"Rad" Brad Oxley, and
Gary Hicks.
Hicks fought his way from the 60 yard line and passed Jim Estes on the final
corner to take the Handicap Main for the second time this year. Estes was
second, Shawn "mad dog" McConnell was third.
"The Banana Man" Kevin Rubio continued to look smoothe and took his second
Support Main Event win of the season. He was followed by last week's winner
Randy Skinner, and David Lynch.
Ryan Fisher looked very impressive on the scratch side of the program. He
was every bit as fast as the top guys in First Division. In his Scratch Heat
he was running second and pinched Charlie Venegas a couple of times against
the wall and held him back for four laps!!!! He did it very cleanly without
making any contact. Let it be said that the kid is starting to make some
serious noise.
Larry Huffman announced that former World #3 Lance King (who was spectating)
will be returning to action in a couple of weeks. Next week -- the annual 25
lapper.

Another interesting note, Andy "the Enforcer" Northrup, who is an Los Angeles
Police Officer, has his helmet painted exactly like a motorcycle officer's.
It looks really cool.
