Monday 09 June 2008 BILLY Janniro scored a 15-point maximum and won the 'A' Final in the first round of the American Championship on Sunday. Janniro defeated former Bees skipper Billy Hamill in the Final, with talented youngster Ricky Wells third and veteran Mike Faria fourth at Costa Mesa. Other former British League riders in the event - part of a three-round series - were Charlie Venegas, who scored eight, Bart Bast (8), Shawn McConnell (8), Bobby Schwartz (7) and another ex-Covenry rider, Bryan Yarrow, who finished down the order on three.

Mr Snackette Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Very enjoyable meeting. The Travel Plus group had a great time and were made to feel so very welcome by all concerned. Indeed the same could also be said of our visits to Industry Hills (last Wednesday) and Perris on Sunday. It appears that in this country the Promoters have grasped the basic concept than pleasing the fans is the number one priority, and the whole presentation is run with that in mind. A few UK promoters could indeed learn a few leasons on on to promote and stage a meeting. Having stayed in LA, the group have now moved on from Vegas (mostly with cash intact) and have spent the day sampling the amazing delights of Death Valley. Yosemite beckons tomorrow, before our final meeting on Friday at Auburn. Somehow Foxhall on a Thursday really doesn't seem that attractive now!!!
