Presume MPT and team manager got  a dressing down from Rob for not watching the 2 minute clock ticking down?  Presentation was pretty poor, with the fan baiting from the infield  somewhat tiresome and unprofessional. Once again music is loud ,but box presenter is almost inaudible.😒

The flaw in that plan is that Stock Car racing isn't a 'local sport' and is very much a 'travelling circus'. There are fans in all areas, but the bulk of the fans at Northampton on Saturday night would have been at Kings Lynn the previous Saturday, and will probably be at Scunthorpe next Saturday. I would hazard a guess that on average, only about 10% of the crowd at a stock car meeting live within 50 miles of the track. I do 35-40 meetings a season, but my nearest track is about 35 miles from my home, and most other tracks I visit are around 60-90 miles away, with others further still, such as Taunton at 220 miles, and St Day (Cornwall) and Cowdenbeath (Scotland) both just over 300 miles.  F1 stockcars still have a strong following in the North West due to past history, despite there no longer being any tracks up that way, so many fans at their meetings are travelling from North and West Yorkshire, Manchester and Lancashire.

Overall, a decent meeting to start off our season... 2 or 3 exceptional races, credit to both teams for that.

The track is usually quite grippy particularly around the the fence at scunny, maybe it was prepared  slick due to the early season weather / coldness.

No thats british speedway in 2026 unless you go to bv or glasgow.  Good match enjoyed myself.

Josh Pickering is going to be entertaining this year, he rides the bike like hes stole it. MPT was poor in 13 he could have easly made the 2mins, not very professional. The track was a a bit slick was rain expected?
