Very lucky with the weather. Rain arrived just after heat 15 and any delays would have seen the meeting ended before then.  Some very decent racing for Bjarne. Zack Cook possibly the pick of the riders on display being unbeaten until heat 15 when he was shut out.

Thanks to Bjarne for serving up some great racing over a long and successful career.

I wonder if Ellis is going to turn up to any of his meetings this year?
