AUBURN, Calif. (Aug. 28, 2015) -- If anyone had fears of what lies ahead for the future of speedway motorcycle racing in America, rest assured we’re in good hands. Twelve of the best young riders and the future of speedway in America rolled out on the Gold Country Fairgrounds track at Fast Fridays Motorcycle Speedway in Auburn, Calif. on Friday night.

The Under 21 AMA Speedway National Championship was won for the third time in a row by Maxwell Ruml. Already the holder of numerous speedway honors, Ruml currently sits in second place in the AMA National Speedway Championship Series.

Ruml, 18, of Huntington Beach was perfect for the night, never losing a race and winning the final championship race with a convincing margin. Riders rode in 12 heat races to accumulate points; three points for a win, two for a second place finish and three for third. The top eight riders after the heat races were seeded in two semi-final races with the top two finishers from the semi-finals moving to the U-21 national final. The winner of this race would be crowned U-21 AMA National Speedway Champion.

“This year was the toughest," Max Ruml said. "The competition was really stiff with all the kids coming up; you can’t take anything away from them."

Ruml faced stiff competition in the final. Broc Nicol came into the final with 11 points, Luke Becker rolled in with 12 points and Kurtis Hamill had eight, each finishing first or second in their semi-finals.

“This year anyone on that starting line could have won the main event, any of us could have made that start," Ruml said. "I came out of a good gate and rode four solid laps.”

Ruml chose the inside lane one, Nicol took three, Becker took two and Hamill was left with four. From the gate, it was Ruml’s to lose. He grabbed the inside on turn one and held the lead, increasing his distance with each lap. The race for second was hot, as Nicol and Becker went at it pretty hard. In the end Nicol finished second, Becker third and Hamill fourth.

With the win Ruml earned an opportunity to compete in the U-21 World Speedway Championship qualifier next year if he chooses to go overseas.

“I have won it three years in a row now, and I haven’t done a qualifier yet," Ruml said. "So next year is definitely an opportunity to go over and do it, especially to get that racing experience."

Along with the U-21 championship program, Fast Fridays staged a full regular program of racing. Bart Bast picked up another win in the Division I scratch main event. Bast, having an slight advantage over Billy Janniro on the slick well-used track Friday night, put it all together for the win. Tommy Hedden was second, Janniro was third, and Broc Nicol, riding in both programs finished fourth. Tommy Hedden, having an exceptional night, won the handicap main event. Auburn’s Hedden is a fierce competitor at Fast Fridays and edged out Bast, who finished second, and Bob Hicks, who finished third.

Shawn Eldredge was first in the Division II main event, followed by Nick Dion and Michael Achilles. In an interesting race, Aaron Sorani finished on top in Division III winning the main event. Peter Pecorilla, in a great debut season, was second and Tim Dion third. Sebastian Palmese, second in the AMA Youth National Championships two weeks ago, won the Youth A 250cc main event. Palmese was able to hold off youth national champion Colton Hicks for the win. Hicks finished second and Kyle Cunningham was third. In his debut race on a 250cc bike, Auburn’s Cameron Krezman was victorious in the Youth 250cc B main event. Krezman won his heat race and transferred to the main. Sammy Tetrault was second and Rich Vandermeeden was third.

Enzo Sorani topped the Youth A 150cc main event. Sorani’s father, Aaron, won the Division III main event. Colton Nelson won the Youth B 150cc main event.

Next week Fast Fridays presents the final appearance of the Extreme Sidecars for a special night during the Gold Country Fair. The Challenge Elimination Series Championship will also be run. Sept. 4 will also be the final points night for riders in all divisions.
