NY State Championship Round 2/Omar Lightner Cup

Another awesome night at Champion, it truly keeps getting better each event. There were some great races. Adam "The Missile" Mittl, rolled through the program undefeated to take his second Omar Lightner Championship in a row. His only challenge of the night came from Gene Bonsignore, who celebrated his 60th birthday Monday, as Bonsignore led Mittl for three laps in the last heat round before Mittl made a very nice outside pass to win. Other than that, Mittl led every race from wire to wire and was in a zone! Corey Brookes again impressed everyone by keeping pace, and defeating, some very good riders in D-1, ON A 250!!! Tuff McBride is back riding like he is 20 again! The track was perfect, the crowd actually had more paid people than the last race! Again, the support riders put on a great show! All the riders did great. Congrats to Mark Bradley for his win and to Cole on winning D-3 first time back. The next speedway event on the East Coast is a huge one, the Monroe Fair Championship in Henrietta, NY on FRIDAY, it has been changed to FRIDAY, July 11!!! Action Park will be the next night on Sat July 12.
