Oh, what a night of racing as the championship season started Saturday night at Fast Fridays Motorcycle Speedway in Auburn Ca. In a very exciting program Fast Fridays ran the 2023 Fast Fridays Track Championship, the 2023 Pee Wee Championship and the Team Challenge Championship. Twenty-one Division I races, three Division II races, three Division III races, eight Pee Wee races and two team challenge heats. A total of 37 fantastic championship caliber races.
Division I ran a championship format with 16 riders in 20 heats scoring points three for a win, two for a second place finish, three for third place and zero for fourth place. The track champion was the rider with the most points after all the heat races. When the dust settled Broc Nicol came out on top in Division I winning the Fast Fridays Track Championship. Nicol was nearly perfect, dropping just one point to Blake Borello in heat nine. Second was Dillon Ruml who just dropped two points and in a runoff for third place Billy Janniro beat Louie Mersaroli who finished fourth each finishing with 12 points.
Division II and Division II ran two heat races with the first and second place finishers advancing to a main event. Aidan McNutt was the Division II champion winning his heat race and the main event. Sammy Tetrault was second and Chase Kangas was third. In Division III Cody Aker was track champion, Catherine Moore was second and Brian Leventon was third.
Riley Rearick was the Pee Wee Division Track Champion, Logan Kerr was second and Liam Falcon was third. The Pee Wee's ran six heats then a last chance heat to transfer to the main and then main event, a total of eight races. In the final round of Team Challenge Championship Team M-45 scored nine points with the help of joker scoring but still came up short. The Law Tigers scored six in the final round and stayed ahead of team M-45 finished the challenge 39-36 over M-45. Very close season long challenge.
As the championship season continues at Fast Fridays all races will be on Saturday nights. The next races will be on Saturday September 2 when the AMA National Sidecar Championship and the Youth 250 and Youth 150 championships will happen. There will be no races on August 26.
