Good to tell you are Scorpions PR man. Last races meant nothing?  Well tell that to a stand full of supporters around me , who were incensed that the track had not been graded but, actually bladed and outside line totally removed, robbing us of actual racing instead of follow the leader hugging the inside.

yet folk have moan about lack of grading this season

proves a point,let a track develop its self,seen way to many tractors this year round and about,last time we were at Owlerton was a classic example,lovely racing line developing,out come the tractor for a few laps and kills it dead!!

 

and massive well done to the Bears yesterday for coming back and grabbing a point   Good luck in the playoffs.will pop up and have a look!

Having travelled the 3 hours to watch this meeting I was thoroughly entertained. Talk about a match of two halfs!

Meeting all but won by the Scorpions by heat 10 having out ridden the opposition some of whom just didn't know where to put themselves.

Out come the tractors and back come the Bears. Not seen a finish like that by an away team for quite a few years so they deserved their consulation point.

The match had everything, dubious decisions, hand bags after races and good racing. Travelling support were very vocal , if a little course at times, which created a good atmosphere, although the speaker system wasnt very good ( intermittent ).

Scorpions were solid enough but Auty wasn't his normal self.

Riss and Douglas were very good and kept the Bears in it till the rest woke up.

Godfrey stated his intentions to run in 2020 which is most unlike him but there's time for him to change his mind several times as he tends to do before running again.

Must say the Ice cream was the best I've tasted at any track so the return trip wasn't too bad.
