There are now 12 races to view from the event.I think his saying that it was one of his most enjoyable nights racing was during his visit.I would doubt that anything this year would touch his accomplishments at KL.

The reason is because that page is not opperational yet try to copy and paste www.xtremespeedwayaction.com

Curtesy of Ryan Evans Taken from Speedwaybikes2@yahoogroups Former World Champion Billy "The Bullet" Hamill added another title to his extensive trophy collection by winning the First Annual Thanksgiving Invitational at the Mojave Crossing Event Center in Bullhead City, Arizona. Hamill, who had to qualify for the main via a runoff, was lined up in the outside starting position. When the tapes went up he trapped the field entering turn one and left little doubt to the outcome from there. Australian star Kevin Doolan gave chase, but couldn't gain any ground. Behind Doolan was Shawn McConnell and Tommy Hedden battling for third. Hamill increased his lead with every lap and cruised to victory. Doolan finished second, McConnell was third, and Hedden finished fourth. The event was held at the beautiful Mojave Crossing Event Center located just across the Colorado River from the Avi Casino and near Laughlin, Nevada. The event's promoter was Nate Perkins, a resident of Bullhead City who competes in Northern and Southern California. Many top riders jumped at the chance to compete in the event. The top four riders after five rounds of racing would compete in the main event. Hamill jumped in front in the opening race while Charlie Venegas began a miserable night by breaking a sprocket and coasting to a halt. Hamill led until slowing down when he thought the race had concluded. The race continued one more lap with McConnell taking the win. Race two saw Mike Faria, Bryan Yarrow, and Ryan Fisher swap the lead several times among themselves before Doolan sneaked by on the inside and took the win. Kerr used the inside gate to his advantage to take the win over Perkins in race three. Billy Janniro, making his first domestic appearance of 2006, scored an easy victory to finish the first round. The second round began with Hedden getting the win over Faria. Hamill fought off all of Janniro's challenges in race six and was awarded the victory when Kerr and Yarrow came together on the third lap and went down hard. Fisher blazed to his first win in event seven. McConnell made it two in a row by holding off Doolan to finish round two. Fisher began round three with his second straight win. Faria held off Perkins and Hamill for his first victory in race ten. Janniro gave Doolan all he could handle but couldn't prevent the Aussie from scoring his second win. Hedden scored his second consecutive win by beating McConnell to end the third round. At intermission Doolan and McConnell were tied at the top with eight points each; Faria, Janniro, and Hedden had seven points apiece; Fisher had six points with Perkins and Hamill tied with five. Round four began with Yarrow jumping to the front and calmly keeping Janniro at bay. A broken chain on the final lap cost him the lead and gifted the win to Janniro, but Yarrow was able to coast to a second-place finish. Hamill gained ground on the field by defeating Doolan and Hedden in race fourteen. Faria used the outside line to pass Venegas for his second win of the night. Fisher made it three straight victories to end the fourth round. With one round to go Doolan, McConnell, Faria, and Janniro were all tied with ten points; Fisher was one point back with nine; Hedden and Hamill each had eight points. Doolan booked his place in the main with a win to start the final round. Hamill won event eighteen and would have to wait to see if he had a chance at the main. Hedden held off Fisher for the win in the penultimate race. The final race featured Faria, Janniro, and McConnell who were all tied for the overall lead. Janniro exploded from the line and comfortably ahead with the main event in his sights when he hooked up exiting turn four and tumbled over backward. A restart was ordered with Janniro on the penalty line. McConnell got the best start and was leading the field when third-placed Eddie Castro headed toward the outside. The diminutive rider found plenty of traction on the outside and pulled alongside McConnell. Castro was steadfast in his quest for the lead and surged ahead on the final lap. Castro maintained the lead to the checkered flag much to the delight of the crowd who gave him a standing ovation. McConnell's second place finish earned him a spot in the main while Faria would battle Hamill, Hedden, and Fisher in a runoff for the final two spots in the main. Hamill was on the pole and made no mistakes at the tapes and led easily. Fisher settled into second and was comfortably in the main when he found too much traction in turn four and went over backward in the same spot that Janniro had earlier. Hedden performed a magnificent laydown to prevent a disaster. Hamill was awarded the win and Hedden was credited with second to qualify for the main. The feedback from riders, fans, and everyone involved was overwhelmingly positive. Perkins is hopeful that there will be future events at the facility.

Well McConnell said last saturday that he was definately going.I am not sure about Captain America. If Fisher and Venegas Team up together in the pairs race than they will be very tough to beat.

Kevin was allowed two laps of practice before the match started but his bike packed up about twenty meters after his practice start. What was pretty cool was this older gentlemen walked up and said would you ride my bike its never been raced since I've owned it and Kevin said sure mate. He rode Dale Facchini's bike in his second heat and then shared Tim Gomez's bike for the rest of his rides.

Here are the results from the three team races.Although the Vikings suffered their first defeat the Team learned alot from Kevn. Results written by Ryan Evans www.speedwaybikes2@Yahoogroups.com Quick results from the three-team tournament at Victorville tonight. One note, Australian Kevin Doolan was allowed a couple practice laps before his first race, but broke both chains and did some minor damage to his machine. He spent the evening riding borrowed bikes. Full report coming soon.

It is a covered horse arena that is used for concerts and other events.The safety fence is taken down after each event than reinstalled the day of the event.The greatest feature of the facility is the fact that there is no rainoffs and the place is wired for live webcasts.

www.xtremespeedwayaction.com is going to continue to have Live Webcast for the rest of the season starting August 2nd. You can see how the Dream Team riders Buck Blair,Dale Facchini,NeilFacchini,Tim Gomez,Dario Galvin 2005 and Shaun Harmatiuck 2005 dreamers are doing . Also check out USA's New California State Champion and Arena Essex track Specialist Josh Larson as he returns to the tracks along with Captain America himself Bobby Schwartz.

Just updated the Dream Team website with new news

The Team USA is wrong as Ronnie Correy will ride in place of Sudden Sam.Sam is doing the sky duties instead of racing.

Also just updated the Dream Team site on the progress.Coming soon will be the plans for the 2007 DreamTeam new riders that I will put on the site later today

Thanks for the updates Main Man.

Dream Update: As far as the facchini's. Dale is definately back in the saddle.Neil has decided to rest his foot some more after riding a painfull night last week.

Who knows if he will go back to the Uk to ride Speedway.I had the chance to go and watch Ryan ride Super Moto last weekend. As the guy has always given me great entertainment with his unique riding style he didn't let me down.There's no doubt that he will run with the best of them soon. Now back to those cheap beers at the Grand.

Yes it is Rick Miller EX Coventry rider

Thank You I did get it.

Can you send me a pm with the address please.

Who gets to ride in it. Who picks the riders.

I have been reading all this wondering what the problem with the Supply and demand for the 250 bikes.We have had them for years. We did some exhibition rides for Jawa then the next year they were in production. In the USA the rules have allways state that when a rider turns 16 then they are allowed on a 500.Some promotions will allow a rider to ride at 15. If you would like to check out what these bikes run like go to www.xtremespeedwayaction.com and scroll down to Gumball Ralley We also have a female rider that rides them really well.

There is also video there now.I'm sure all the races will be up soon.
