I thought it was a pretty decent meeting personally, the delays were annoying but avoidable if Len had shelled out for two ambulances.
The Smith Bridger incident happened right in front of me and Smith clearly turned left on Lewis on the straight, still justice was done his run off. Mear looked a tad fortunate in heat 6 but I didn't have the best view of that one. It says a lot for Ryes fence that the Pole was able to walk away from what looked a nasty crash. There are a few tracks where he wouldn't have.
How Wells qualified I'm not sure, he didn't seem to do much all day but ended up going through so fair play. Gomez was woeful and if he is representative of American talent coming through they are in wors e trouble than I thought. Sad for a once proud speedway nation.
The German looked great for 3 quarters of a lap until coming unstuck and Joe was very unfortunate to plough into him, not quite enough time to get the bike down. Far from being a wobbler he looked smooth in his remaining rides just needed a bit more speed, he was probably shaken up from his crash.
Well done to Robert Mear although he wouldn't have won it on any other track.
All in all an enjoyable day, and the fish and chips were the best they have been for some time!
