[greyhoundp 990]

Seems as though the rain is settling in now, beginning to look doubteful.

[Main Man 222]

I am in Willenhall not far from track really and there have only been a few short showers which have now stopped. It is cloudy but with a light wind ....so hopefully all ok.

 

Hope so as I have a sponsor coming to present Dan Greenwood with a cheque ...and Dan has some sponsorship sheets to hand out to show the various schemes available to back him from as little as 50p a point upwards ...

What was going on with ash?

[vog 200]

Any comments on the meeting? Seemed like 2 of stokes top 4 struggled and we still only lost by 4!

[TonyK39 5]

One of the Heathens top 2 also struggled Vog, and Stoke caught a break when their 2nd best rider on the night was able to come in as reserve sub twice for 2 minute exclusions. Stoke's use of a guest in this challenge also gained them a few extra points. Made it a bit closer than it would have been in normal circumstances in my opinion.

Bad day at the office, he's devastated only scoring 2 points, but he'll be back there next meeting

Quite an enjoyable nights racing and would of thought that a draw would not of been a bad result, or unfair result. Not sure we caught a break as in heat five when Ben came in he finished third and would of been last in Ash Birks had finished the race. The lad is a three pointer have ridden all last year to get it!! Our guest was also a three pointer and got 4 plus one, a reasonable return for a 3 point man. Who should we have brought in ?.Somebody who would roll over a give you the points. I think if all riders rode to potential we would of had a similar result as Jamie would of taken a few more points as would Ash on the Heathens side. Give praise to both sides for giving a show last night.
