Oxford, Swindon, Wolverhampton and Coventry 4TT


Recommended Posts

Yesterday at Oxford a 4TT was staged with 3 defunct tracks all hoping that they can resume racing at some stage in the future.

Hopefully all will be successful in time.

It would be interesting to know what the attendance was, in view of the teams involved?

It looked quite healthy, despite it being a nothing meeting. A little disappointing that there was no real support from thee defunct clubs, maybe because this was the 3rd attempt at staging it, though there was a sprinkling of those fans around but I've seen more Wolverhampton identification at Leicester this season than I did last night. Maybe Peterborough would have been a better choice than Wolves as they seem to have a more realistic chance of returning than Wolves. Or Cradley with a big push to get Heathens fans in to maybe get that project pushed over the line.

One little bug bear of mine... I know it was an end of season knockabout type of meeting but would it really have hurt for the riders to have done a lap of victory after a race win to keep the fans engaged on a cold night? From memory only Leon Flint, Luke Killeen & Bomber came round for applause after heat wins. A few more did after their last race, Lambert, Nicholls, Lawson, Scott. They should be coming around after every race win, I'd dock them £50 out of their wages if they didn't.

Can I have the £50’s you dock off as Xmas is approaching and it will come in handy🤣
