Cracking little meeting, Stefan Nielsen looked awesome around the Eddie Wright Raceway and Lee Smethills was on top form. Joe Jacobs had a great night for the Fen Tigers, but why no tac rides? Everybody could see the obvious heats to use them (12 & 14) which Jacobs and Blackbird went on to win, cost the Fen Tigers what could be a very important point in regards to the playoffs.
Craig Ackroyd needs a new watch, Garrity getting 2 minutes 53 seconds to get to the gate in heat 6 as I timed him and likewise Adam Wrathall getting 2 minutes 20 seconds in heat 14
My thoughts go out to John Oliver who had a really nasty one, hope he recovers soon from a nasty accident which was no fault of his own
Finally, I was very impressed with the set up at Scunthorpe, my first visit and certainly wont be my last, great track, friendly people and two meetings which were pushed along, 4 hours for two meetings which included a near half an hour gap between meetings to re grade the track, a long stoppage for John's accident which must have been a good half an hour and at my count ten re-runs through the two meetings
My only gripe was can you make it a touch warmer next time I venture up please?
