Bryn Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Courtesy of Sir Lunchalot: Ty Proctor took out the Bacchus Marsh round on what could best be described as an "interesting" track. To be fair I don't think the track had seen bike racing in a good many years and I'm not sure what was the state of the track before work commenced on it. For all I know it may have been a minor miracle the track was the condition it was in. Some good and bad points to the track, excellent site for a speedway in a amplitheatre like setting (it might have been a old quarry ?) with good viewing everywhere in the venue but not so good that the bike track is inside the car track and a long, long way from the paying public. I'm sure it loses something being that far away. Proctor only lowered his colours to Sam Masters in qualifying first on 11 points. As expected the other riders just returned from the UK were well to the fore, James Holder qualified 2nd on 10 points and Richard Sweetman qualified 4th on 8 points. They were split by Sam Masters who was impressive in amassing 8 points despite an ef in his last ride. I couldn't honestly say the racing was brilliant but the riders did their best to put on a show. Semi Final 1 Proctor, Jackson Milne, Josh Munro, Masters fell, Semi Final 2 Holder, Sweetman, Jake Anderson, Wayne Morrison Final (Rerun) Proctor, Sweetman, Milne, Holder (fell excl) Holder was unlucky to fall in the final on turn 4 lap 2 when leading but being hard pressed by Proctor. Holder was also lucky not to be collected by Proctor, it must have been a very close thing. Proctor was closing fast and it would have been interesting to see how the heat would have ended if left to run it's full course uninterrupted. In the rerun Proctor was untroubled in recording the win. Cheers Howard Edited November 15, 2008 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
