This was a pretty even match, but Stu proved out the old axiom that there -Is no substitute for experience as he took the lead off the l1ne and kept the distance ahead of Mike for the checkered flag. With the sport of speedway racing growing by leaps and bounds, the evening was spiced with the addition of a Division 3 heat race to give some of the new riders some experience.
