Am I missing something here ??
But wasn't Workington's Double-Header last Saturday, when being a weekend date, surely an earlier start time of say 5pm could have been used if there's a curfew later on.....
Echo all the above comments - it was a really entertaining meeting [my first of the year] and quite honestly you couldn't pick a winner of any heat when all four were lining up. There's the opportunity for passing all the time at EWR (I think every race had at least one until heat 12). Having said that, there does still seems to be a bias towards gate 4 & the preferred outside blast around 1+2......
Is there not a process whereby eligible riders can actually "enter" the competition & then the number of competitors would determine how many rounds are required to get to the desired final 16? Or is it now just purely based on invitation to compete?
