The Sacramento xtremespeedwayaction.com Silver Machine defeated the Los Angeles Aces 50 to 38 in each team's opening match of the West Coast Speedway League season at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, California.
      
The Silver Machine was led by double-figure scores from Matt Browne, Chris Kerr, and J.J. Martynse while Buck Blair's twelve points weren't enough to push the Aces to victory. 
      
The match began with an odd 3-2 score after Blair defeated Kerr, but the other two riders, John Stunkard and Michael Hernandez failed to finish on the lead lap, therefore, scoring no points. 
      
Mark Sincavage and Ed Martinez led a 4-2 race victory for the Silver Machine in race two which was followed by a 5-1 from Martynse and Michael Hull to give Sacramento an 11-6 advantage after three races.
      
Some confusion regarding race participants ultimately led John DeFries to receive a two-minute exclusion in race four.  Browne was victorious over Steve Dziadus, Jr. while Mark Sincavage fell and created another 3-2 score, this time in favor of Sacramento.
      
Kerr defeated the Sauer Brothers for a drawn heat five.  Blair and Stunkard combined for a 4-2 race win for Los Angeles in race six.  Martynse and Hull combined for a Silver Machine 5-1, but were matched by a 5-1 from Stunkard and Dziadus, Jr. in race eight. 
      
Browne was victorious ahead of the Sauers in race nine while Blair won his third race of the night in race ten leaving the score at 31-27 for the Silver Machine. 
      
Kerr and John Zuber combined for a 5-1 in race eleven, which was followed by 3-3 drawn heat twelve.  Kerr fell while leading race thirteen, but his lead was significant enough for him to remount and cross the line first to complete another Sacramento 5-1.  Robbie Sauer of the Aces won race fourteen, but the Silver Machine led 47-35 going into heat fifteen.
      
Aces manager Shaun Harmatiuk sent out Blair and Dziadus for the final race while his Sacramento counterpart, Dave Galvin, nominated Kerr and Browne.  Blair got the jump on the field while Browne and Kerr scrambled to pass him.  Blair remained cool under the pressure and held on for the win while Browne and Kerr secured second and third, respectively. 
      
There was a Support Division program to supplement the action.  The Support class was depleted when riders were drafted into the team competition.  In the main event, John Zuber was victorious, Adrian Contreras finished second, and Jeff Irwin was third.
