Match 2 - Vikings 58 - Orange County Eagles 32
The Victorville Schlaman's Services Vikings rolled to a 58-32 victory over the Orange County BBB Seamless Raingutters Eagles in each team's first match in the West Coast Speedway League at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, California.
The Vikings were led by Neil Facchini's paid 14 points and 13 more from Billy Hiles. Dale Facchini, Ricky Wells, and Tim Gomez each pitched in with three paid wins apiece.
Neil Facchini and Wells got things started with a 4-2 over Nate Perkins and Rich Brock in heat one. Billy Lyons and Rohn Zellner kept the ball rolling in race two with another 4-2. After a restart, race three saw the opening of the floodgates as Gomez and Dale Facchini scored a 5-1 to push the score to 13-5 in favor of the Vikings. Hiles and Zellner combined for a 4-2 score over Brian Starr and Greg Vandemore to open up a ten point lead.
Perkins and Brock were able to temporarily stop the bleeding when they were awarded a 4-2 heat win after Gomez went down hard and brought out the red flag. The Vikings quickly turned the tables with another 5-1, this time it was Wells following teammate Neil Facchini across the line. After a 3-3 drawn heat in race seven, the avalanche of Viking points began again as Wells, the 14 year old Youth Naitonal Champion, led a 4-2 result in race eight. That was followed by consecutive 5-1's by Dale Facchini and Gomez in race nine and Neil Facchini and Wells in race 10 after Wells made an awesome outside pass to get into second. The score at this point was 41-19 in favor of the Vikings.
Perkins and Brock combined for another 4-2 before Victorville earned another 4-2 themselves followed by Hiles and Neil Facchini scoring a 5-1 in heat thirteen to bring the score to 52-26. Gomez won race fourteen, the final race before the nominated heat fifteen.
For the final race, Vikings manager Shawn McConnell sent out Neil Facchini and Hiles. Eagles manager Charlie Venegas nominated Perkins and Rick Valdez. Perkins was away first and won easily while Hiles and Facchini were able to keep Valdez at the back.
The next WCSL event will again be at Wheel2Wheel Raceway and is scheduled for Saturday, October 22.
