Brian Wakelin and Bobby Cyr did their best to catch bomber car points leader Aaron Cameron with their performances in Saturday’s championship night at Western Speedway.
Despite being mostly shut out of the top spots in the evening’s races, Cameron managed to maintain his slim lead and capture the 2014 title.
Tristan Gait won the 50-lap feature main event on the night, followed closely by Wakelin and Cyr in second and third.
The bomber points race was so tight that a victory by Wakelin in the final race of the season – which would have given him an extra four points – would have put him in a first-place tie with Cameron for the crown.
Cyr wound up third overall, another five points back.
In the demo car class, Jim Young’s second-place finish in the combined 15-lap demo car and demo truck main gave him enough to preserve his lead and collect the season title.
Demo car driver Mike Melin won the main event and a heat race, good enough to give him third place overall. Cody Young, who took third in the main and the heat race on the night, wound up second overall behind Young.
Billy Stidson captured the demo truck title by a comfortable margin ahead of second-place finisher Aason Baker.
Amongst the mini figure 8 cars, Rhett Szevics took home the season trophy, thanks to a win in the 25-lap main event Saturday. He added a win in the second heat race and a third-place effort ion the trophy dash.
Other top finishers in the main were Kyle Rizok in second, Brandon Young in third and Doug Richens in fourth. Kail Beck was second overall behind Szevics in the points race.
Darryl Cahill proved the class of the hornets, winning the long-track title and the final main event of the season, a 20-lapper, ahead of Kevin Lawrenuk, Brandon Steen and Cody Aumen, in that order. Ashley Creed, who took the checkered flag in the night’s first heat race, wound up second overall behind Cahill.
