Lewis wins at
Action Spdwy.
By Todd Kroh
GREENE, NY, MAY 31
John 'Boggie' Lewis has been
waiting a long time to circle
the Action Park East track with
the Division One Scratch main
event flag. He finally did it this week
at the expense of Bruce Nelson, Dale
Wakefield and George Lazor. With
clouds rolling in and thunder and
lightning in the sky, Lewis received
his wish.
Earlier in the evening Lewis went
down in his Handicap semi final race
and appeared to be injured, but that
has never stopped 'The Boggieman'
before. He returned just two races
later and won his Scratch semi transferring to the main.
Lewis fired out of the pole position
and led Nelson, Wakefield and Lazor
into tum one. Nelson pressured Lewis
waiting for any mistake but Lewis
held a tight line, not allowing Nelson to stick a wheel underneath. Each
successive turn Nelson would inch
closer and closer, letting Lewis hear
the high revs of his Godden, which
was glued to his rear wheel. Sometimes just the sound of a competitor's
engine will cause split second
lapse in cocentration, just enough to
gain an advantllge. But Lewis kept
his eyes forward watching for the
checkered flag. Wakefield and Lazor
waged their own war for third with
Lazor trying the outside and Wakefield riding the blue groove. Wakefield
won the fight taking third place.
The rains came momentarily as the
Handicap main got underway. Jim
Nabinger became the fourth different
winner in as many weeks as the Handicap main continued its tradition of
exciting close competition. Nabinger
has displayed consistency, making
every Handicap main this season but
has never come away with the victory. You could sense he wason a roll
as he dominated his Handicap heat
and semi, holding off the likes of Ted
Fey and Lazor before appearing in
the main. When it came showtime,
Nabinger proved he would not be
denied leading the entire race wire to
wire. Len McBride, starting with
Nabinger on the 10-yard line was his
closest competitor finishing in second
place. Steve' Watson, .the previous
week's winner, was in third followed
by Bruce Nelson, Dale Wakefield and
George Lazor.
Damien Cornwell, might just be
putting together a -string of division
two main event wins. He has now
won two in a row and his confidence
level looks to be high. When you see
his smooth style and riding technique you forget he's 14-years-old
and has a ton of speedway ahead.
Cornwell finished second to Marshall
Shunk in his heat ace but in the
main, he bested Chris Rudy, Shunk
and Damon Lengle.
