They had rain mid afternoon and then watered the track twice as the strong wind was drying it out so quickly and then at 6.20ish it poured down for a good ten minutes. Track was wet but one team adapted and one didn't! Klima did an unintentional 180 on the parade lap on bend four and ended up looked directly back at Scott Nicholls I think who was behind him! He obviously learnt quickly what he needed to do to get round though as he was superb last night. In heat one Masters got himself in a pickle on bend two but Danny and Joe seemingly had no issues in either running of the heat. Killeen was a little over excited chasing the Gladiators down into the start of the last lap and came off. I'm no mechanical expert but with 40+ years of watching speedway it looked like they had their setups wrong for the conditions although both teams did their track walks before it rained. Only Anders Rowe didn't fall off or get excluded in any of his rides for a Cheetah's side that I was expecting more from. Tom Spencer was the only Plymouth rider to struggle and he openly admitted that was down to inexperience when interviewed at the end of the meeting after he came out for some extra practice afterwards. Barker rode sensibly for a pretty simple four ride max, avoiding the slippery parts of the track when required to do so in heat 3 but still winning comfortably. That was the biggest win I have seen from a Plymouth team since converting from being a Rebel post covid and it reminded me a little of watching Exeter at the County Ground at times with a home side dominant and an away side not really that interested! Well done to Mark Phillips, Garry May and the rest of the backroom team down at Plymouth for the continued improvement on and off the track for the club. Will be back for more in a couple of weeks time when Glasgow come to Devon, that regular 160 mile round trip to the Coliseum doesn't seem very far nowadays!

I’ve just read the mess that’s been talked about on social media and I’ll say this, speedway never learns from its mistakes, maybe we should introduce a points system for anyone who wants to get involved, everyone starts at 5 points and you lose a point for every black mark against your name and when you down to 3 points you’re not allowed to run/promote any speedway team, some may say we wouldn’t have anybody left to promote/run any teams. Well that’s the point we keep getting bad wood -
Probably go well at Plymouth as similar size to American tracks, but will he qualify for a visa ?
