!l!/Jl1le 1Illl. . cn:l C;;gG)~(;;g Cam Rafferty, New York's most promising young speedway talent, was right in the thick of things all night. Despite crashing heavily in a later Handicap heat, Rafferty was perfect through his first four heats of the evening, setting him up for what tumed out to be one of this season' 5 most memorable main events. The biggest player over the course of the evening was the (lidog surface itself. About 30 minutes into the program, an odd patch of moisture developed at the apex of turn two and began wreaking havoc with anyone who came near it. The fans began to sense something was up when Craig Estelle faced off with Tom Burge, David Oakden and Joe Greene in an early heal. As the field headed into turn two immediately after the start, the usually sure-footed Estelle was suddenly launched into the weeds on the outside of the back straightaway. He saved it, re-entered the track at full speed, and stayed in the hunt by passing Greene to salvage third. If the top guys were having trouble with the track, it was a sure bet that the Support riders would be in way over their heads. Sure enough, one of the most spectacular races of the night was a Support heat featuring Dave Clark, Heber Belles, Tony Manx and Duane Smith.

Clark struggled with the unfamiliar machinery, but the Jawa finally got the better of him, hooked up uncontrollably and sent Clark convulsing into a hideous tank-slapper. The Division One main event featured Oakden in post one, Rafferty next to him in two, Tom Sephton in three and Burge - who has been taking everyone to school this season - on the outside in four. Rafferty cut a clean gate, and it looked like a main-event win would be wrapped up and delivered. But coming out of tum three, with two laps in the books, all hell broke loose. Rafferty parked it and Sephton, running in second. never had a chance; he swerved slightly to miss Rafferty and, in the absence of an outside crash wall, he launched off the outer lip of tum four. Completely airbome, Sephton sailed at least 20 feet down the embankment on the back side of the turn and crash-landed in the weeds, escaping with only a broken wrist and a seriously bruised arm and ribs. A single-file restart was ordered, from which Rafferty emerged victorious, foliowed by Oakden in second and Burge in third.

The Over 30 final was led early on by local racer Darn Peterson until he crashed in tum four of the five-tum, half-mile circuit and relinquished the lead to Chicoine, who then fended off the advances of wild-cord entrant and Over 40 event winner Mark Deal for the win. Class favorites Randy Thistle, Brian Jenson and Marty Mataya rounded out the top five. Chicoine headed the Open Pro main event from start to finish, but a hard-charging Troy Johnson kept him honest.
