“Fast” Eddie Castro and Tyson Burmeister both went home
with main event victories from Inland Motorcycle Speedway
in San Bernardino.
Colorado native Buck Blair made the best start in the Scratch
Main Event and led until he lifted exiting turn four. Blair
recovered but not before Burmeister and Castro went past.
Burmeister led the second lap but Castro blasted underneath
on the front straight. Burmeister remained within striking
distance over the final two laps but the leader never wavered.
Castro was first to the checkered flag, Burmeister held on to
second, Blair was third, Shawn “Mad Dog” McConnell finished
fourth, and “Flyin” Mike Faria was fifth.
Former Youth National Champion Brad Pappalardo led the
eight-rider Handicap Main Event for a lap before lifting in turn
four and allowing Tyson Talkington and Burmeister to get by.
Talkington and Burmeister had a sensational battle for two
laps until Burmeister secured the lead. Talkington was
passed by Castro and Dale Facchini and then ran up the
back of Dale Facchini’s back wheel and tumbled down the
back straight. Talkington was unable to restart due to
soreness in his hip. Burmeister led the restart but Dale
Facchini lifted on the back straight and went down which
brought out the red flag again. Burmeister started at the
head of the field for the third attempt and had Castro
immediately behind him and hoping for a double main
event evening. Burmeister held Castro at bay for the remaining
three laps and collected his third main event victory at IMS this
season. McConnell finished third, Blair was fourth, Dale
Facchini finished fifth, and Philip Harmatiuk was sixth.
The first round of the Last of the Mohicans Last Man Out
Challenge got off to a rocky start when Blair ended up in a
heap in turn one. A full restart was ordered and it appeared
as though Neil Facchini was eliminated. However, a problem
with the tapes meant another complete restart. When the start
was finally official, Pappalardo was the first one to be
eliminated. Neil Facchini was the next one eliminated which
left Blair and John Marquez. Blair made the best start and
sped off to victory.
Tim McGrath made the best start in the Second Division Main
Event but Rohn Zellner, the main event winner the previous
two weeks, stalking him in hopes of making it three consecutive
wins. Zellner made a valiant chase the entire race but McGrath
was equal to the challenge and held on for the victory. Bruce
Marteney finished third and Mike Wiley was fourth.
Jim Robinson led all four laps and was victorious in the Third
Division Main Event for the second week in a row. Chris Jones
finished second, Todd Silicato was third, and Jake Myers
finished fourth.
Maverick Molloy defeated Chase Sanborn to win the Youth Main Event.
Scott Driggers and Casey Driggers led all four laps en route to victory in the Sidecar Main Event. Gerard Jackson and Dave German finished second, Brian
Motis and Brandi McElroy finished third, Dylan Beard and Edwin Soto were fourth, and Joe Jones and Jimmy Olsen were credited with fifth.
Next week’s event is the Firecracker Derby which was won by Faria last year.
