Fast Fridays Speedway, Auburn, CA - June 30, 2000

A very large crowd were well entertained at Fast Fridays at Auburn,
with more great racing. I was surprised to see a larger field of first
division riders than last week, on this the July 4 weekend. Josh
Larsen, Charlie Venegas and Ryan Fisher made the journey up from LA. 

The evening also included sidecar races, peewees and the annual
clockwise Speedway race, won by Robert Curry with a speed slower than
most third division races .

Scratch Main
1. Bart Bast
2. Charlie Venegas
3. Josh Larsen
4. Bobby Hedden

The first scratch semi final was as good as any main event. Josh
Larsen and Bobby Hedden took the qualifying places from Mike Faria and
Billy Janniro. Josh made the gate, with Billy Janniro close behind,
followed by Faria and Hedden. Billy tried to get around Josh on the
outside, overslid and went down. The battle then became for the second
qualifying place, which Hedden took from Faria by a wheel length.
After a semi final such as that, the main even could only be an
anticlimax. 

But the scratch main was another great race. Josh Larsen appeared to
have the gate, then Charlie Venegas came up on the outside, and
somehow Bart Bast appeared in front. Top Northern California points
scorer so far this season, Bobby Hedden was left with fourth place.
Charlie and Josh battled it out for four laps, behind Bart, with
Charlie eventually taking the second place.

Scratch Consi
1. Mike Faria
2. Billy Janniro
3. Chad Felicio
4. Bob Hicks

Handicap Main
1. Bobby Hedden 
2. Mike Faria
3. Ryan Fisher
4. Josh Larsen
5. Billy Janniro
6. Robert Curry
Early leader Robert Curry lost his place first to Bobby Hedden, then
Mike Faria and the rest of the freight train went past him. 

Handicap Consi
1. Bart Bast
2. Ivan Sevart
3. Paul Orlandi
4. Matt King
5. Don Webster
Charlie Venegas also qualified, but was a non-starter. Ivan Sevart
looked quite at home in his second evening in first division. 

Div 2 Main
1. Eric Carillo 
2. Ivan Sevart
3. Tom Adams
4. Vince Bertolucci
5. Jon Curry
6. Mike Browne
This evening marked the transfer from Junior Speedway bikes to 500s,
for Eric Carillo and Chris Kerr. Eric rode junior Speedway for about 5
years, won the US Junior National last year and was second to Ryan
Fisher the year before. His first evening on a 500 showed how easy it
was for him, winning the main by half a lap. Chris's first night was
not as easy. He lead his heat until the exit of turn 4, where he did a
quick 360 before going into the wall. I will be surprised if Eric is
not in Division one within a month. Chris, like Jon Curry still makes
small mistakes, but has many years of experience from riding Junior
Speedway, more than many of their Division two competitors. 

The main message I see from all of this is understanding the
importance of the Junior Speedway program. Fisher, Janniro, Bast, the
Heddens, Larsen, the list goes on. With Eric Carillo heading the list
this year, Bryan Yarrow coming along next year, American Speedway has
a lot to look forward to.

Div 2 Consi
1. Matt Browne
2. Marvin Sonnier
3. Craig Boone
4. George Snodgrass
5. Harlan Bast Snr.
6. Shawn Eldridge
Craig Boone lead this race until hitting the wall 40 yards before the end.

Div 3 Main
1. Robert Mellor
2. Billy Hiles
3. Kelly McBain
4. Ron Woodsford
5. Greg Hooten
Also in this race were Dave and Bruce Baker and Dave Quick. 

Div 3 Consi
1. Gary Hubbert
2. Chris Orlandi
3. Eric Ryan
4. Geno Bellino
5. Mike Hooten
6. Dino Blankenbiller
7. Devon Devreece
8. Kevin Ferreira

Junior Div 1 
1. Bryan Yarrow
2. JJ Martynse
3. Greg Hooten Jnr.
4. JT Mabry

Junior Div 2. 
1. Mark Carillo
2. TJ Fowler
3. Brenton Bast
4. Danny Easley
5. Alex Marcucci
6. Chris Olney

Junior Div 3
1. Bruce Bast
2. Tom Fehrman
3. Jeff Butler
4. Jay Ricketts
5. Pete King
6. Tori Hubbert

Next week sees the return of 97 World Champion and 98 AMA National
Champion, Greg Hancock.

Hi All,

Speedway Meeting Version 4.9 is now available for download. This is 
basically an update for the 2000 European season.

There is a new team database which includes line-ups for the BEL, BPL, 
Swedish Elite League, Swedish Allsvenskan, Swedish Division 1, Danish 
Superleague, and all the countries in the World Team Cup. The new Swedish 
Elite League match format is also supported.

The full program is available as a zip archive (1864K) from:

	http://www.terena.nl/personal/spwy/spwymtg/SpwyMtg49.zip

Speedway Meeting is a text-based speedway racing game. This program 
simulates a wide variety of meetings from the rider names and averages 
entered by the user. A number of popular meeting formats (e.g. British 
Elite League matches) are included, but a scripting language allows the 
creation of new meetings and the customisation of existing ones. Meetings 
may be run automatically; or interactively with up to nine players 
competing against each other or the computer. An editor is also included 
that allows team line-ups to be loaded directly from a file.
