Carson City Clash
May 21, 2005 - Carson City Raceway @ Fuji Park Speedway
By Gary Roberts

The weather was much kinder to the second speedway event at Carson City than the first. More local rider support was accompanied by a better crowd.

The track started out a bit wet and slippery but was significantly better than the last time and by the end had a good consistent surface, which enabled a number of very good races.

Results:

Scratch Main
1. Bart Bast
2. Jim Estes
3. Tommy Hedden
4. JT Mabry
Bobby Hedden had engine failure in the semifinal.

Scratch Consi
1. Bobby Hedden
2. Matt Browne
3. JJ Martynse
4. Devin DeFreece

Handicap Main
1. Bart Bast (50)
2. Jim Estes (30)
3. Matt Browne (30)
4. Tommy Hedden (50)
5. JT Mabry (20)
6. Bobby Hedden (50)
Again, Bobby Hedden retired with engine problems. Double winner Bart Bast acknowledged that the track was "1000% better" than last time.

Div 2 Main
1. Greg Searle
2. Kenny Ingalls
3. Shawn Eldridge
4. Kell Kerrigan
5. Guy Jesup
6. Tyler Hansen

Div 3 Main
1. Tom Fehrman
2. Kevin Fereira
3. Kjell Lovlien
4. Tori Hubbert
5. Cory Barringer

Div 3 Consi
1. Clark Caravella
2. Tor Lovlien
3. Rich Mignano
4. Greg Lovlien

It is hoped that by July 2 the word of the improved track surface will get around and a better rider turn out will materialize.
This in turn, plus the fact that by July there will be tourists in the Lake Tahoe area, will hopefully supplement the crowd.
