Swift Saint 186 Posted October 13, 2008 I thought great credit was due to all particpants and to Buxton for having the track in decent shape despite the mist and fog and dampness. A great afternoon for me but I was puzzled at the lack of Team Managers and Promoters present to see these stars of the future. Tony Mole was there and one or two others like Steve Williams from Belle Vue and my notebook is full. Some great talent is on the way up.

Neil H 63 Posted October 13, 2008 Purely unofficial and relying on my rather addled brain and not top-notch maths, but this how I reckon the 500cc class panned out in the end..??!! 1st Jason GARRITY 14 16 14 18 48 2nd. James SARJEANT 11 18 12 16 46 The score in italics is the one knocked off as the lowest (that's where a full house of four scores were obtained) Couple of questions 1) young Kyle, is it Howarth (as in yesterday's prog.) or Haworth as people who know him have posted on here..?? 2) Why were there last chance eliminators and 'Grand Finals' in rounds one and two but not in the final two rounds.. Seems very odd!! 3) Looking at the rules about ties for rostrum positions, I can see why it was deemed that James finished ahead of Kyle in second. But the same logic applied surely to the 250s so why was it decided to have a run-off there..??!! I didn't realise until I looked at my programme yesterday that it was all decided on Heat 11 on Sunday. If James had beaten Jason in the race, he would have been Champion. To answer your Questions 1) No idea, I have the same info as you (up to someone who knows him) 2) According to the rules of the comp, it was to do with the number of competitors in the event. 3) James beat Kyle when they met during the meeting whereas Rhys and Daniel met twice with one win each. I think (almost) everyone was gutted to see Daniel slip off when leading in the run-off and I had to smile when the paramedics rushed over to him after he slumped onto the grass after getting off the track. As he got back to his feet pretty quickly, they obviously had a cure for 'disappointment' in their bag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers mate!! One more question (I was obviously very dim on the day...: must've been the stress of following that bloody tractor for miles!! ): But I make it just slightly different in the 250s with Tyler Govier on 6 and Lloyd Barrett on 8. Must differ regarding the result of heat three in that class which I marked down as a third place for Tyler ahead of Lloyd. I could easily be wrong!!! Can you clarify..: what WAS the correct order in heat 3 of the 250cc class..?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scunny Stag 72 Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Scunthorpe have already made the decision to reduce the price to practice and enter our amateur meetings for kids using 250s and lower. The price will be £25 and there will be further announcements (hopefully this week) designed to encourage kids into the sport.
