whowasthatberntpersson 108 Posted February 16, 2007 Congratulations to all the qualifiers, particularly the Queenslanders. Special mention for Grajczonek and Davey, its an awful long way to South Australia from North Queensland so its really fantastic to see that they have both qualified. Tomorrow should be an absolute cracker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted February 16, 2007 I'm in an Adelaide internet cafe the morning after. Wasn't a bad meeting but not much great racing to speak of with lots of processions. The best racing was early on in the night when Jake Anderson was side by side with Brock Gates for the best part of 2 laps before coming off trying to go round the outside. Anderson was still able to remount and pass Carly Gittus for second in a three rider race. I'm sorry, Carly is probably a super young lady but she wasn't on the pace last night to be honest. To be fair she wasn't the only one, there was a 2 rider heat where she came second that was in a time of 66 seconds when most of the other heats were around the 60 to 61 second mark with a couple in the low 59's. I had never seen Richard Sweetman before and I was very impressed indeed with him, he looks very smooth and stylish. Ryan Sedgeman was unlucky to be judged to have touched the tapes and excluded as Josh Grajczonek had slightly moved and touched the tapes and Sedgeman then rode through them. Didn't really matter as Sedgeman got 11 points from his last 4 rides to qualify easily. Warm but overcast yesterday which meant no blazing sun but already this morning it's stinking hot and not a cloud in the sky and the sun beating down. If it stays that way all day we are in for a interesting day / night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always been a Light drinker meself - is it light yet? To be truthful (HAH!) with Light beer I usually pour it straight down the Dunny - cuts out the Middleman!
