In any case, it was several hundred higher than the first Chargers meeting and the Oxford promotion were extremely pleased by the size of the crowd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope we have a good turn out from the Oxford faithful tonight. The Cubs have a decent following and this is a top of the table local derby. A good away following is always welcome.

UPDATE After last nights horrific looking crash in heat 1 of the NJL meeting it’s been confirmed in the last hour or so that Luke Killeen has unfortunately suffered a broken leg above the ankle Kyran Lyden went to A&E also last night and after a CT scan and X-rays on a sore arm has been very lucky to escape with just bumps and bruises. Get well soon lads from all at Redcar Speedway. Edited July 9, 2022 by KEITH M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only benefit i can see is that it would prevent an unattached rider who is much better than his 3.00 grading taking multiple guest bookings a season, setting a high price and scoring big every meeting at reserve. Obviously not a common tactic but entirely possible and could see results dictated by whoever gets the joker guest in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
