Another first class race! Right from the start, given by Downsview head honcho Tony Genco, Go‚s rapid duo of Kevin Speacht and Peter Morse broke from the bunch and quickly established a 15 second lead. At firat no-one seemed interested in chasing, although the line of death along the finishing straight showed that all were working hard.

By the fifth lap of the seven cornered course, the GO team had about thirty seconds on the pack, with several of the weaker riders being shot out the back every lap. At this point Dave Fry, RNH and Ital Pasta‚s Jeff Hansen started to chase but Fry soon returned to the pack, leaving Hansen to try bridging to the lead pair. Within two laps, he had closed the gap to seventeen seconds and it took him seventeen laps to finally get up to the front.

Meanwhile, the strong north west wind was taking its toll and the remaining riders had Split up into four groups and a multitude of stragglers. The only riders still in contention were a group of five including Jason Crookham and Ed Makarchuk, Ital Pasta, Barry Reid , Maple City, RNH‚s Mike Ybanez and Independent, Hans Ulsrud. They were about forty seconds down on the leaders, with a second group of seven about twenty seconds further back.

This order stayed pretty much the same until lap 34, when Kevin Speacht lost contact with the leaders and drifted back to thew first chase group, where he managed to sit in.Jason Crookham tried several times to break from this group and finally got away with about four laps left. Pat Shea also broke free and, after catching Crookham, the two made a last ditch effert to bring in Morse and Hansen. They almost made it with Shea just edging out Crookham for third, only four seconds behind Hansen who had found one last ounce of energy to outsprint Morse for a well-deserved win. This indeed was Jeff‚s race ˆ an outstandingeffort on a very hard evening.

Thanks to Peter Hurley and Tina Mayberry for doing registration, to Mark ? for sweeping, marshalling and keeping the electronic compound gate open, to all those who donated cans etc. for the food bank and to Tony Genco and Carol Doerr of Downsview Park Administration for allowing access to the circuit.
