 A
damp, cold and wet Victoria Day
Weekend cut the first SOS double
header of the season short. The
scheduled action at the Ohsweken
Speedway on May 19th was cancelled
due to poor ground conditions. On
Sunday it looked like the SOS was
headed towards another wash out.
Heavy cloud cover and the odd
shower wouldn't keep the teams
away from the Humberstone Speedway
though. 38 sprint cars in total
made the tow to the 1/3 mile clay
oval.
Dick
Mahoney made the haul to Port
Colborne but his night would come
to an abrupt end early. After
spending the week working on the
driveline the #79 wouldn't last
past warm-ups before the entire
driveline would once again cause
problems. The failure would
sideline Dick Mahoney from
competing in the evenings action.
Dick was able to help out fellow
competitor Curt Sherwood though.
During warm-ups Sherwood's car was
hit by a push truck damaging the
teams only top wing. Dick Mahoney
lent the top wing to Sherwood.
With that assistance Sherwood was
not only able to compete but also
qualify for the A-Main where he
would finish 23rd.
Dick Mahoney and the #79 team
will get back into action on
Friday June 9th at the Ohsweken
Speedway followed by a trip to the
Brighton Speedway on Saturday June
10th. |
