The Unstoppable Missile Strikes Again!


OWEGO, NY

The sun was out all day, the skies were clear, the track was in great shape, and Adam "The Missile" Mittl was again unstoppable, taking his fifth straight Scratch main-event win.

The evening started with the Handicap program and a round of heats. Mittl came all the way off the 60-yard line to pass all five riders for the first-place points. Shawn "Steamboat" Engel was second, with Craig Estelle third, Russ Cornell fourth, Mark Bradley fifth and Brian Bailey sixth.

Cole Farwell made a strong showing in the other heat race, winning it from the starting line with smooth control. David Clark was second, with Corey Brookes third, Tuff McBride fourth, Lenny McBride fifth and "Dangerous Dan" Harbst last.

Farwell was hot again in the semis, defeating runner-up Brookes. Lenny took the last transfer to the main with a good third. Cornell was fourth, and Estelle fifth with Bailey gaining a learning experience at the back.

Clark was all business in the other semi and he scored the win. Tuff was hot on his heels for second. Mittl held on for third and the last spot in the main. Bradley was fourth and Harbst was fifth. Engel tallied a DNF.

Clark and Tuff had a great battle in their Scratch ride. The two were side by side for nearly four laps. Clark just nipped Tuff at the line, on the inside. Estelle was third, with Cornell fourth and Engel fifth.

Mittl hopped out in front in the next outing, but Lenny made a great pass on Mittl for the win. Jason Bonsignore was third, with Brookes fourth and Bradley fifth.

Mittl got some revenge on Lenny in the semis, tallying a win. Lenny took second and the transfer. Clark and Estelle were third and fourth and would have to go to the last-chance qualifier.

Bonsignore and Tuff gated evenly in the second semifinal, but Tuff roared up the inside of the track in turn two and into the lead. That's how they finished, with Brookes third and Cornell fourth.

Estelle led the LCQ, but Clark made a great inside pass and went on to win. Brookes was also able to pass Estelle to take second. Estelle was third and Cornell fourth.

Bonsignore drew the pole for the Scratch main and should have been a factor, but he missed the start and Tuff got into the first turn even with Mittl, who came off gate three. Mittl outdragged Tuff down the back straight, though, and rode away to his fifth Scratch win in a row on his Justice Brothers/NGK Spark Plugs/Red Line/K&N/Regina-backed Jawa. McBride was second, Len McBride was third, Clark was fourth and Bonsignore was fifth.

Farwell was the big story again in the Handicap main, taking a pole-to-pole victory. Tuff earned another nice second with a last-lap pass on Clark, who then fell, which led to Mittl garnering third place.
