| 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.
For Warren Mahoney
the 2006 season has gotten off to a great start. After
a top ten at the season opener in Brighton Warren came
out showing plenty of muscle at Humberstone. In heat
two he grabbed the early lead and pulled away from the
field with authority. The #25 took the win over Joe
Middlemiss and Mike Lauterborn.
In the 20 lap A-Main
Warren would battle with the leaders right to the end.
The #25 slipped out of the top five for only a brief
moment. On the final lap a side-by-side battle with
Adam West made for a close call at the line. In the
end West would take 4th while Warren would grab fifth.
The solid finish combine with his top ten at Brighton
has the #25 team poised to be a threat for the 2006
SOS title.
The #25 team will
return to action on Friday June 9th at the Ohsweken
Speedway and Saturday June 10th at the Brighton
Speedway for rounds number three and four of the 2006
Southern Ontario Sprints tour. |
