Subject: Costa Mesa Results - August 12, 2000
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2000 02:51:10 EDT
Gary Hicks returned to his early-season form by winning a Handicap Main at
Costa Mesa that was full of controversy.
The race was full of back yardage riders with four on the 40 and four on the
50. Ryan Fisher jumped the first start and was sent back 20 yards to the 60
yard line. On the second attempt, Randy DiFrancesco took the lead as the
field entered turn one. Hicks was able to get into second place on the first
lap and went after the leader. Hicks was relentless with his pressure on
DiFrancesco and finally passed him on the fourth lap. Regular flagman Jerry
King was absent and his replacement displayed the checkered flag at the end
of the sixth lap obviously forgetting that the Handicap Main is eight laps.
Gary Hicks was the tentative winner and the riders assumed the race was over
and began exiting the track with the exception of DiFrancesco who argued
vehemently with the referee that the race had ended two laps early. The
referee agreed and the field was called to the track for a staggered restart
with two laps remaining. Hicks took his place at the tapes with the field
behind him and as would be expected Hicks was an easy winner with DiFrancesco
finishing second again and thereby gaining nothing for his arguing, Andy
Northrup was third, and Dukie Ermolenko was fourth.
Chris Manchester made it two weeks in a row by taking the Scratch Main event.
Manchester blasted into the lead at the start but there was some movement
just prior to the tapes going up and Shawn McConnell and Bobby Schwartz were
left behind because they were expecting a restart. Mancester was chased by
Fisher all four laps but the sixteen year old couldn't gain any ground on the
former National Champion. Manchester was an easy winner over Fisher with
Hicks finishing third, McConnell fourth, and Schwartz fifth. After the race,
Hicks took a minute to voice his displeasure to the referee about the
movement at the tapes.
David Lynch got a great start and never looked back as he took an easy
victory in the Support Main Event. Randy Skinner followed Lynch throughout
the race and finished second, Gerry Duttweiler was third, and Sean Larned was
fourth.
Northern California rider Jonathan Curry made a mockery of his obvious
misplacement in Support B to score an easy win in his first visit to Costa
Mesa. Curry was lined up on the 20 yard line but stormed through the field
to take the lead at the end of lap one. Curry then ran away from everyone to
take the victory. Howard Larson finished second, and Ed Martinez finished
third.
Next week is Harley Night which will feature fans racing their stree-legal
Harleys around the world-famous track and will no doubt attract a large
crowd.

Kevin Doolan HAS been allowed to drop to PL but I guess interest has =
cooled fom Newport as his average has been assessed at 9.00 rather than =
around 6.8 that it would have been had his EL average been doubled.
Swindon were rumoured to be interested in him - I'm not sure how =
accurate that was - as his average would still fit in under Frank =
Smart's - maybe they think guests are better.

Can anyone in the UK tell us whether Kevin Doolan has quit/ been
released / dropped/ rested from the Belle Vue team and whether there is
any word of a move to a Premier League Team.
