spin king 1,923 Posted September 30, 2007 Already congratulated James on another thread, but what hell Well Done again James. Must admit I had nail my colours to another young man Aussie Chris Holder, and it nice to see that for once us Brits got the better of the Aussie's. I would urge the Comet fans to enjoy James while they can as the boy looks cetain to move on to greater things, and move up to the Elite League, but remember that the guy did it in Comet colours and won for you just as much himself. Have to say that I am bitterly disappointed with our man Andre, did not do himself justice in this meeting, like another Sheffield supporter said you have to question his comitment to this kind of event. As for the rest where did that performance from Rempla come from, honestly at Sheffield this season he looked like a complete novice, Jason Lyons looked as though he was sharp, and did Jason King not make the meeting at all.

Heat Results Heat 01: Wright, Holder, Woffinden, Rempala Time:67.08 Sponsored by Music 24/7 at http://www.virtualvibesradio.co.uk/ Woffinden passed Rempala on the second bend. Holder was close to Wright all race but couldn't get past. Heat 02: Lyons, Nermark, Topinka, Compton Time:66.52 Sponsored by Steve Dixon http://community.webshots.com/user/steavyd From the gate - well spaced out at the end. Heat 03: Laukkanen, Rajkowski, Kerr, Kramer Time:66.93 Sponsored by Boxer123 Stamps Brought and Sold Laukkanen won by nearly a quarter of a lap! Kramer passed Kerr on the back straight of the last lap but locked up on the fourth bend and was re-passed. Heat 04: Schramm, Franc, Complin, Leverington Time:68.15 Sponsored by Friends of Edinburgh Speedway http://www.foes.info/ Franc passed Leverington going into lap two on the inside.

Heat 05: Topinka, Rajkowski, Rempala, Leverington Time:67.21 Sponsored by Richard and Anne Hollingsworth www.scunthorpespeedway.com Topinka was last out of the gate but first into the back straight! Rempala passed Leverington on the third bend of the first lap. Heat 06: Lyons, Laukkanen, Woffinden, Schramm Time:66.86 Laukkanen rounded Woffinden on the second bend. Lyons is looking rather good! Heat 07: Holder, Nermark, Franc, Kerr Time:66.96 Holder rounded Nermark on the second bend. Kerr was all over Franc but couldn't find a way past. The outside line on the third and fourth bends seems tricky. Heat 08: (Rerun) Wright, Complin, Kramer, Compton Time:67.71 Complin went into the fence on the second bend. All four back in the rerun.

Heat 10: Woffinden, Topinka, Franc, Kramer Time:67.43 Sponsored by KanDysoft Speedway spreadsheets www.kandysoft.com Topinka gated but went too wide on the second bend and Woffinden was through winning with a fair bit to spare.

Heat 14: Kerr, Compton, Woffinden, Leverington Time:68.65 Sponsored by www.digitalmint.co.uk Easily the race of the night thus far.

Semi-Final line up: Jacek Rempala, Tomas Topinka, Daniel Nermark, Chris Holder Semi Final: Nermark, Rempala, Topinka, Holder Time:66.52 Dominant first bend by Nermark.

Nermark locked up on the fourth bend of lap one and Rempala nipped past. James Wright a deserving winner. ************************* Comments: Line-up: has been confirmed as above. Referee: A Steele Weather: Fine with no threat of rain. Format: Standard 20 heats with top 2 scorers seeded directly to the final. The semi-final will consist of the riders finishing third - sixth with first and second going through to the final. Track: Looks normal for Swindon - fairly grippy. One of the riders is stuck on the M4 in traffic. No name announced though - details to follow if he doesn't make it in time! The mystery rider stuck on the M4 has been revealed as Jason King. Discussions are currently taking place in the pits about what to do!! Jason King is still on the way to the track. Schramm will stand in until he arrives but it's not clear if Schramm can qualify for the semi-final or final if he scores enough points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobC 664 Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Yes and BobC and friends from Poole as well. Total nightmare. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A real nightmare.From what we could gather from GWR Swindon radio,there had been a very bad smash.They wouldnt go into detail,but did say the Air Ambulance was required. We were 2.5 miles from the junction,and stopped at around 3.40,and didnt move again until just after 8pm. We may have not have arrived at our destination,but thankfully we have made it home again. I fear,but cannot confirm,that others may not arrive home at all. My thoughts are with them. Edited September 30, 2007 by BobC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) James Wright was very much a deserving winner. He was sharp out of the gate at times, rode some superb first and second bends in others and when that did fail he picked off riders! Jacek Rempala is wonderfully weird and I love him, no idea why!! Chris Holder looked ok, nothing special TBH and seemed to make a couple of mistakes, not something you'd expect from the highest averaged rider in the meeting! Jason Lyons proved he's a class act at this level as did Nermark and Topinka was not bad either. Edited September 30, 2007 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My thoughts are with them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We were stopped at the services for an hour or so, set off again at 1500 were 1.5 miles from the turn off. Five hours plus not moving & a 12 hour round trip, but a few hundred yards up the road was a real tradgedy, all things are relative. We met a number of Islanders fans on the Ferry who were in the same Jam plus there was the coach as well. Well done to James Wright. Chris has a few medals already this year & no doubt many more in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,795 Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Not a bad meeting tonight although it was fairly apparent that most of the field had not ridden the track before. Wrighty a worthy winner, however I can't help thinking that any of the finalists could have won if they had been able to choose gate three Edited October 1, 2007 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
