Thank you John Saddlemire for the results.

**Update** Poor track conditions, so the event doesn't count toward the championship.

Message from referee Steve Lucero: Not a official round, we will try tomorrow. Track conditions not safe, all 16 riders agreed.

From our trackside observer: "Honestly I am not an expert in track preparation so not sure what could have been done differently, but from what I understood some riders felt that they could not ride on the track to their full abilities. There were several crashes and injuries - Mark Fillebrown what looks like a broken wrist, Dave Clark I think broke his collarbone, Billy fell I think twice the 2nd time on top of Lenny McBride in a nasty looking crash, luckily they both walked away from it. Again I am not an expert here, the guys coming back will give probably give you a better account."

U.S. AMA Speedway National Championship First round at Action Park East left some scratching their heads.

Riders that made the trip to the first round in New York at Bonsignore's "Action Park East" track questioned the track safety. Rider's indicated the track condition was not conducive to a National Championship. As result the riders gathered and agreed to race because fans were already in the grandstands. To have outright canceled the event would have been a blemish on all involved. However, it was determined by the riders and the AMA Referee onsite to abolish the race as a National round. Apparently the track was rough and showed no indication that it would do anything but continue to deteriorate throughout the evening. Naturally, some agreed and some disagreed. However, the decision was made and finalized. Therefore Action Park East results were disregarded and round two was set to move on to the following night at Bonsignore's other track Champion Speedway.
