Admission is so quick with pre-paid tickets, crowd looked sizeable (programmes sold out!), fans enthusiastic (if you're the gentleman with whom my Australian mate in the Oz rugby shirt and I chatted, it was a pleasure to meet you) and, above all, some of the racing was excellent. It is so good to see Oxford revived. I wish them well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey you certainly wouldn't have enjoyed British speedway in the 90s then when teams could use as many tactical subs as they wanted (1 person rider) even 2 in the same race.

I was suprised also but Mcdiarmid was looking very fast towards the end of the meeting. Mcdiarmid had paid 9 before heat 15 and Anders Rowe had 11 (would have been 10 if Pickering hadn't packed up) so wasn't a lot between them anyway. Did Rowe fancy heat 15? Schroeck has certainly made a lot worse blunders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew2 Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 First visit to Cowley this season, looked to be a good crowd in there which is great to see for the promotion. Decent racing I thought and Picko was a class above apart from when his engine decided it had had enough in heat 13. Strange to be at a meeting as a neutral so not really sure who I wanted to win but good support for all 14 riders from both sets of fans. Probably a fair result overall on the night. Thought the presentation of the meeting was good and after having my first go with a mic in hand on Saturday night appreciate it isn't the easiest thing to do! What is with the term 'track technicians' though when they are having a good old grading and watering break. Fair play to these 'tech' guys though as they did their best to keep the dust down although it did get a little dusty at times our tactical viewing spot of being upwind from the direction of the dust travel worked! Reasonable run home through the traffic cones but just failed on the Cinderella front as was back in Somerset at 00.01! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
