For the first time in 3 years, The New Humberstone Speedway hosted a
Mother Day Madness event, giving the fans, crew and drivers the night
off to
honour their mothers. Racing activities started at 2pm. This event
being a
prelude to The New Humberstone Speedway's biggest non racing event
during
the season, The Eve of Destruction.
The enduro was won by Jason Coutu, who started up front in the 100
lap event, and managed to remain there through out the race.
The flag pole race, an event where the competitors have to do a full
lap around the track, than do a full circle around a flag pole in the
middle
of the front stretch. Beales took over the lead from Steve "Smoky"
Robison
on the second the last lap. Robison had an advantage because of having
a
smaller car he could manoeuvre around the flag pole in a tighter
circle, But
Rick Beales had the power to make up the distance while going around
the
track. But having some contact while going around the flag pole Robison
rear
wheels seized up, allowing Beales to take the win.
In the last event of the afternoon we played a game called Red
Rover. But played it Humberstone Speedway style. with race cars. Rick
Beales
captured the first place victory in this event. This race has two
finish
lines one at each end of the straight away. The object of this race
was, to
have all race cars start in a line, when the air horn blew the cars had
to
race to the 1st finish line and the last car is knocked out, than make
a
quick turn and race down to the other finish line, last car is knocked
out.
and so on.
