Helped by the presence of four riders from NYS, the rider turnout was the best for several years for a regular race night at Welland. However, cold weather kept the crowd down for the season opener and the combination of the cold and a long programme caused many to leave before the finals were run. For those who stayed to the end, Aaron Hesmer made it three Main event wins in three meetings to stake a claim as the early favourite for this year's Short-track National Championships. Details of the night's racing follow. Heat 1. New Yorkers Andy Crawford and Deana Holden, on her first visit to Welland, were much faster than the Canadians and quickly built up a huge lead. However Crawford slid off and into the bales at turn three on the third lap and Holden joined him there as she either slid off or laid her bike down. That left John Bennett to take the win from Bart Moskala, another making his Welland debut. Heat 2. John Kehoe took the lead from the gate and led from start to finish. Casey Donholt held second until Rob Dixon got through on the inside out of turn four and chased Kehoe home. Marc Gauthier inherited third place when Donholt dropped out with engine problems on lap three. Heat 3. This quickly settled into two races with Jeff Orosz leading Aaron Hesmer at the front while behind them Gary Hesmer and another rider making his Welland debut, 15-year-old Mike Buman contested third place. No changes until the last lap when Orosz's engine gave up the ghost around the final two turns and allowed Aaron Hesmer to get the win. Orosz was able to coast home in second ahead of Gary Hesmer and Buman. Heat 4. Once again Crawford and Holden ran away from their Canadian rivals. Crawford led until Holden slipped past him at the end of the third lap. He immediately retook the lead going into turn one but could not hold his line and went down again so it was Holden who got the win from Tim Murray and Alan Chisholm. As a result of his falls Crawford failed to pick up a point and despite being far quicker than the local riders didn't make it through to the final. Heat 5. This time it was Donholt who had bike problems that caused him to pull out before the race got underway. Once again Orosz grabbed the early lead and this time his bike kept going all the way to the checkered flag. Behind him Gary Hesmer dropped back from second to finish fourth behind Orosz, Dixon and Gauthier. Heat 6. John Kehoe was a fraction ahead as they went into the first turn but Aaron Hesmer used the outside line to power around him and grab the lead out of turn two with Buman in third ahead of Drew Kehoe. No position changes for the rest of the race. Heat 7. The four Canadians took to the track for the final D2 qualifying heat and it was Tim Murray who got the win with John Bennett passing Alan Chisholm for second on the last lap while Bart Moskala brought up the rear on a bike that was wobbling badly, perhaps due to a flat tire. D2 FINAL Moskala was a non starter and Holden proved her previous win was no fluke with a clean fast ride that left her far ahead of Murray, Bennett and Chisholm in that order and earned a good hand from the crowd for her efforts. D1 CONSI This turned into a two-man race when Gary Hesmer joined Donholt as a non starter when he couldn't get his bike going. Drew Kehoe, with his best effort of the night, took the win from Buman after four quick smooth laps. D1 FINAL Aaron Hesmer took the honours with a tapes to flag win. Behind him, John Kehoe held second for a couple of laps until he bobbled coming out of turn two. Orosz took his chance and moved past him down the back straight and closed the gap on Hesmer but wasn't able to catch him him. Kehoe finished third with Dixon fourth and Gauthier fifth.

It is not often that the fifth place finisher in the Final is the one that everyone was talking about after the meeting but that 's what happened at Welland on Saturday night. That's because the man concerned, Hot-Dog Freddy Legault, made his season debut having just returned home after spending more than a month with son Kyle in the UK. In doing so he reached a remarkable career milestone, the 30th consecutive season that he has ridden speedway here in Canada. Not only that but having had to borrow a set of leathers to ride, he promptly won both his qualifying heats in fine style beating all of the usual top contenders while doing so. The question on everyone's lips as the riders came out for the final was whether the popular veteran could turn the clock back and bring the house down by winning the final. Unfortunately that was not to be as he snapped his primary chain on the way to the tapes. He did make it to the line for the start courtesy of Mike Buman (Snr) who gave him his son's back-up bike to ride but had to settle for a fifth place finish in it. Heat 1. Young Deana Holden from NYS continued from where she left off last week with an easy tapes to flag win. Behind her John Bennett took second ahead of Tim Murray. After running last for most of the race, Bart Moskala began to make up ground using a very wide line and overtook Alan Chisholm for fourth before narrowing the gap to Tim Murray around the final two turns. Heat 2. Legault rocketed off the line and was never headed. Rob Dixon led the chase for four fast laps but was not able to get close enough to put the result in doubt. A good effort by Mike Buman saw him overtake Marc Gauthier and pull to within a length of Gary Hesmer for third as they crossed the line. Heat 3. With last week's top three in the final all in this heat the start was likely to be crucial and that proved to be the case. Jeff Orosz had the lead out of turn two with Aaron Hesmer and John Kehoe close behind him. After another four fast laps that is how they finished despite a strong challenge by Hesmer around the final two turns. Casey Donholt also showed a good turn of speed to stay close to Kehoe, never an easy task at Welland. Heat 4. Bennett was first into the turn but went wide out of turn two. Holden slipped inside to take the lead and opened up a comfortable gap for another win. Behind her Bennett and Moskala has a good scrap for second with Moskala again using the outside line to advantage and finally moving up to second on the last lap. Heat 5. Another fast start from Legault left Orosz and (Aaron) Hesmer in his wake and to the surprise of the fans neither of them could get close enough to really challenge him. On the thid lap Hesmer managed to power around Orosz for second place. Heat 6. Another good race. (John) Kehoe led from start to finish but was chased hard by Buman. Behind them Dixon made a mistake and drifted wide at turn two on the second lap and Donholt seized the chance to nip through and take over third place. A sign of just how competitive the racing is in D1 this season is that slip by Dixon cost him a place in the Main event. Heat 7. This time Moskala made a better gate and grabbed the early lead. Using his now familiar outside line he led from start to finish for his first win on a big track. The riders were well spread out behind him and the only pass was when Bennett caught Murray. Holden finished a comfortable second which gave her high points for the night and D2 honours for the second week in a row. D1 CONSI Dixon took this with a tapes to flag ride. Donholt was second with his best effort yet and there was only a single length separating them at the finish. Drew Kehoe came from behind to take third place away from Marc Gauthier with a nice effort while motor problems kept Gary Hesmer mired at the back. D1 FINAL Orosz on the outside powered around the first two turns to get the lead from (John) Kehoe and held on to it for his first Main event win of the season. Behind him there was plenty of action with (Aaron) Hesmer finally getting past Kehoe at the start of the third lap. Then 15-year-old Buman showed that is quickly coming to terms with the Welland track by taking over third when he slipped inside Kehoe out of turn two on the last lap. In a tight finish there were only a few lengths separating Buman, Kehoe and Legault as they crossed the finish line.

Saturday June 17th 2006
The crowd was down from last week, possibly due to competition from the big AMA race at Lima. With a dozen riders taking part all the heats were run with four riders and this may have been a factor in why there was plenty of fast paced action but not a lot of passing or excitement. John Kehoe was in good form early in the night when he won both his qualifying heats but had to settle for third place in the final behind Jeff Orosz and Fred Legault who had another good night. In D2 Bart Moskala continued to show dramatic improvement as he is getting accustomed to the track. Although it was only his third outing at Welland, he ran away from the opposition that included Chris Hathaway from Indiana. Not only was he much faster than his rivals, he showed a smooth controlled style, a far cry from his first outing two weeks ago. His only mistake was stalling his bike at the pit gate as he paused to pick up a passenger on his checkered flag lap. Unable to get his bike restarted, he had to pass the flag to one of the riders coming out for the next race to take it back to the referee. Heat 1. An easy win for Moskala. There wasn't much between John Bennett and Chris Hathaway for second but they were only going into turn three as Moskala crossed the finish line. Heat 2. (John) Kehoe got the early lead and although Orosz chased hard he couldn't get close enough to mount a serious challenge. Rob Dixon was third and Drew Kehoe fourth with a good effort. Heat 3. Hesmer and Legault were close going into the turn with Hesmer getting the advantage out of turn two and that's the way it stayed to the finish. Steve Glasgow pulled out with mechanical problems on the second lap and was waived over the line after the others finished by the referee to qualify as a finisher and earn a point, not that it mattered as he was done for the night. Heat 4. Moskala again won by the proverbial country mile and this time Hathaway was well ahead of Bennett for second. Heat 5. This developed into a two man race with (John) Kehoe chased by Legault. A last ditch effort by Legault around the final turn brought the gap between them down to a length as they crossed the line but Kehoe was always in control of the situation Heat 6. Orosz got the jump out of the gate and the result was never in doubt with Hesmer and Small finishing well back. Heat 7. Another easy tapes to flag win for Moskala who seemed to get faster each time out. If he continues to improve at this rate it may not be too long before he moves up to D1. D1 CONSI With Glasgow unable to start this was a two man race. (Drew) Kehoe showed good form in winning it comfortably from Phil Small who was a surprise starter on the night and did well considering he had trouble using his right hand after a workplace accident. D1 FINAL The best race of the night. (John) Kehoe had gate choice and took the outside but he missed the gate and was fourth going into the first turn. Orosz grabbed the lead with Legault giving chase. Legault pulled level going down the back straight on the second lap but Orosz regained the lead going into the turn and held it for the rest of the race with Legault hounding him throughout and finshing only a couple of lengths back. Kehoe got by Hesmer on the first lap to finish third while Dixon moved up to fourth on lap three.

With a huge full crowd, the event looked to be a funfilled night. The weather was perfect with the clouds clearing a few hours prior to the start of the night, which gave the track time to dry out. A great turnout once again to the Welland track by all riders classes, gave the night that extra special Fall Classic feel. With Katalin Davis up from the States, George Lavender on Doug Beaumonts bike and Trevor Farrington making his Welland debut, good things were to come. Heat 1. G eorge Lavender, John Bennett and Trevor Farrington came out first. John Bennett took a huge lead and won well. Heat 2. Katalin Davis, Terry Rideou t, Tim Murray and Alan Chisholm took to the track. Katalin Davis took an early lead and was not challenged. She did however have a scary moment coming over the line in a bad front wheel wobble! Heat 3. John Kehoe, Rob Dixon, Drew Kehoe and Philip Small - Drew Kehoe went down while in second place on the first bend, got back up and continued but was looking as if he damaged his machine. Rob Dixon had a ride of his life, fast cool and composed to beat John Kehoe well. Heat 4. Aaron Hesmer, Fred Legault, Jeff Orosz and Chris Hesmer . Back to the big track for Chris Hesmer, but not a winning one. Aaron Hesmer took the lead and on turn 2 Jeff Orosz powered his way under Aaron to take the lead. Aaron took a final lap run at Jeff and the crossed the line with Jeff winning by a wheel!!! Brilliant racing! Heat 5. Tim Murray, Katalin Davis, George Lavender - Katalin had a bad start, she missed the launch, but made up for it by chasing both the boys down hard. Tim Murray wasn't going to let this lady through as he battled to hold track position. But on the 3rd lap she got by him and away she went to win well. Heat 6. Terry Rideout, John Bennett, Trevor Farrington and Alan Chisholm - Terry Rideout took a good lead to keep John Bennett back behind him, but John's knowledge and speed was a factor that helped him pass Terry and win well. Heat 7. John Kehoe, Chris Hesmer, Rob Dixon and Fred Legault - Chris Hesmer and Rob Dixon left both Fred Legault and John Kehoe at the line, they powered away from these two guys and had a good race. Chris won well. Heat 8. Jeff Orosz, Aaron Hesmer, Drew Kehoe and Philip Small - The start was held by the referee a long time? Once they were away, Drew took no time passing Philip Small, but was unable to catch the hard charging Jeff Orosz and Aaron Hesmer. Jeff took a good lead to the end. D1 Consi. Philip Small, Fred Legault and Drew Kehoe - Fred had a cracking start and pulled away from Drew Kehoe, Drew chased him hard and passed Fred on turn 3, lap 2. Philip Small smelling that Fred was not going as fast later in the race shot at him on the last bend only to lose by a bike length. D2 Consi. John Bennett, Alan Chisholm, Katalin Davis, Terry Rideout, Tim Murray and George Lavender - They all lined up at the tapes in pea thick fog! from the stands we could only see the main straight!!! Tim Murray decided that it was unsafe for him and withdrew. The race began and appearing out of the fog came John Bennett in the lead in front of Terry Rideout, on the second lap Katalin Davis had passed them when they reappeared to take the lead. This she kept unchallenged to the end! D1 Final. Aaron Hesmer, John Kehoe, Rod Dixon, Jeff Orosz and Chris Hesmer - All lined up on a fog free track??? The fog had come and gone just as quick! Aaron Hesmer got a bad start and was last leaving the gate, the bunch went into turn one all together, but coming out of turn 2, John Kehoe grabbed traction and veered violently upward and careered into the hay bales and fence. He was down for a few minutes and got up to find his bike beaten and bent. His Father got Drew Kehoe's bike for John to take another go at it. Unfortunately John had to start 15 yards back on a bike that is not set-up for him, so his win was looking in jeopardy. They restarted and Jeff Orosz and Aaron Hesmer took the front, Aaron's Brother Chris was having none of this and passed him on lap 2, he was chasing a flying Jeff Orosz hard. On the last corner he was close enough to have a last gasp run, but his engine blew and cost him this come back win!
