Comments:

 

Gary has been introduced to the first aid crew who helped him on the night of his accident.

 

Heat 01: From the gate. Plenty of track between the riders.

Heat 02: Harrison passes Cooper on the first bend of the second lap. Cooper close on final bend of final lap but still comes last.

Heat 03: Hall took a nasty tumble on second bend of lap 1 and has been taken to hospital. Re-Run - Clear win for Stead. Johnston close to passing Kerr on fourth bend of third lap but locked up too much.

Heat 04: Havelock passed Parsons on the third and fourth bend of the first lap and then stretched out a good lead.

Heat 05: Compton passed Ashworth on second bend of first lap and Tai did the same on the third and fourth bend.

Heat 06: Kerr fell on third bend of first lap but got up and is ok. In the re-run Lindgren blasted round the boards. Complin got close on the fourth bend of second lap but Lindgren pulled away on the home straight.

Heat 07: From the gate. Cooper's engine went on the third lap.

Heat 08: From the gate.

Heat 09: Stead passed Stancl on second bend of second lap.

Heat 10: Complin blasted round the boards. Compton passed Johnno on home straight at start of lap 2. Parsons and Johnno passing each other but Johnno too fast and takes third.

Heat 11. Havelock engine failure on first bend. Barker fell on fourth bend of second lap and did well to clear the track.

Heat 12: From the gate. Debs says there is no fence left where Barker hit it. They are grading the track and seem to have given the golden oldies a miss.

Heat 13: Havelock excluded for tape touching. Re-run with 3 riders. Johnno passed Cooper on backstraight of third lap. Tai almost got Cooper on the line.

Heat 14: Ashworth bike went on fourth bend of third lap.

Heat 15: Kerr blasted his way from third to first down backstraight. Lyons passed Kerr on third bend of second lap.

Heat 16: Lindgren blasted round the boards and took the lead on fourth bend of first lap. Parsons took third place as Zorro lost power on the final bend of the last lap.

SF1: Stead passed Johnno on last bend of last lap.

SF2: Lyons challenged for lead on third bend of first lap but Complin pulled away on the home straight.

Final: Excellent race. Lindgren passed Complin on third bend of lap 1. Complin slowly catches Lindgren, they go round third bend of third lap together. Complin comes out ahead and keeps going until crossing the line first.

Not a Michael Lee no show, surely?

Anyway, hope everything went well for young Stead.

Super speedway!, a very good meeting overall, and lee complin will have some good offers this winter, what a pass! Back to his 2002 best!

[Drew 0]

Quite fitting in a way that a team mate of Garry's at Stoke should have won this meeting. I remember that Lee Complin was actually his partner in the race when Garry crashed at Somerset on that horrible night in May. Well Done to Lee and I hope it was a very successful night for Garry Stead.

Brilliant pass by Compo in the Final to win it, how he reeled Freddie in by 10 or 15 yards over the last few bends was amazing.

But the only true highlight of the evening for me was meeting Garry, asking him to sign my programme [ which he kindly did for everyone ] and then shaking his hand and wishing him all the best for the future. It was a privilege. I hope loads is raised in the e-bay auctions too.

According to Birmingham's official website, Sanchez had to have his spleen removed    just going on what I read on the thread for the PT final, so I would imagine this puts him out of action on thursday? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Sorry, where exactly have you read this ? I have just checked the Brummies web site and there is no mention of this in the ' latest injury update ' report on Emilliano. Gutted for him if it's true, he's been a great entertaining rider this year, hope he's feeling better soon

[Col 854]

Just got home, really enjoyed the meeting.

 

Couple of really good races in the second half. When I got there I was thinking, jesus this is big! Too used to Monmore Green these days, sadly.

 

I have no idea how Complin fitted between Freddie & the fence but well done to him. 21CH, you can now refer to Freddie as the "dirty, not quite brave enough to win at Sheffield, Swede"

 

Hope Hall & Mogridge are OK.

 

What on earth have the council done between Owlerton and the M1? I went past 'The Ship' pub 3 times trying to get home, stupid roadworks! I think I spent longer in some dingy area of Sheffield than I did on the M1 itself.

[Col 854]

Also... Good to see Kerr & inparticular Barker get up after nasty spills!
