Can't believe the Beeb's weather forecast for Friday - rain until 4/5pm.

 

Not another season like last year.

Dry and sunny with a good wind blowing so should be no problems.

Some very encouraging Monarchs performances.

Good to see Rory continuing his very impressive start to the season 👍👏

[Halifaxtiger 5,318]

Enjoyed that

 

22 heats in just over 2 hours, some good racing - especially the final - and some decent presentation.

 

Sedgmen, Schlein, Riss & Lindgren impressive.

[Mr Blobby 2,660]

Cracking night to start of the season. Young Pickering looks like he'll do well. Very impressed with Erik Riss tonight shame that he blew 2 engines.

 

Congrats to sedgy on the win.

An entertaining opening to the season.

 

Erik was looking good and very unlucky with his mechanical problems and an exclusion that seemed harsh from where I was standing...It definitely looked to me like Sam brought him down in his 4th ride.

 

Going into the final I thought Rory was the man to beat as he had been getting better as the night went on, but that just shows what I know

 

As a Monarchs fan it was good to see Josh looking lively. He was unlucky to drop it in his first Dale race with the win in the bag but happily got to celebrate a race win before the night was out.

Not sending texts out this season?

Heard John Campbell say that the company that the texts are done through have upped their charges so he is looking for someone else to do it cheaper.

Why not do it on Twitter and Facebook. Unless the majority of your fanbase don't have smartphones
