Phillip Addison Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Very enjoyable meeting to start the year. Not been to Owlerton before but will go again at some point. Could have done with a bit more passing (as always!) but I thought the riders all rode with great spirit - Darren + Sharon would have been proud. Nice touch to allow Ricky Wells to have some extra practice after the meeting along with the Sheffield boys. He may not have scored any points but I dont think he will take too long to get going. I'm not sure I'd want my first U.K meeting to be at possibly the fastest track in the U.K! I think Ricky Wells will done fine and if you dont want him at Cov send him to us at Sheffield for a season or two because he was never far off the pace on a track he's probably never seen the likes of before. He had a tidy riding style and i notice he was talking to Greg Hancock all night. Obviously keen to listen and learn off the best ! His bike looked great too, everything in black, it looked like the Batmobile !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul84 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think a year in the PL before stepping into the elite wouldnt harm him also build up his confidence, but we shall see. good luck to the lad anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmiller Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hands off, he's ours!!!!! (despite what my fellow Bees fans say!) Agree he wasnt too far off all night. Greg has been encouraging him for some time now and its interesting to note that Ricky is being helped by Billy Hammill's old crew. As Ive said in other posts, he is very determined, has good support and as you said, the bikes are something else!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincooke Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Thoroughly enjoyable meeting. Each rider can be proud of the feast they served up for Darren, Sharon & of course Jack. An excellent turn out too. .......and to the lady who was trying to pinch my Rooboy cap, hands off.

MOT Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I enjoyed this meeting very much, was well worth the money, and Crump was a class act what more can you say about the man. Also thought Auty was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willp Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I enjoyed yesterday's meeting and there was some decent racing. Greg, Crumpy, Rory Schlein and Tai Woffinden all looked very good and Tai's first/second bend in the final was the highlight of the night. Josh Auty also impressed me and as he's starting the season at reserve, i think you Sheffield fans are onto a winner especially at home. It was a good start to the season and a great tribute to Darren & Sharon Boocock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midland Red Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 http://www.chrisspiresphotos.com/latest.htm I think these photos rather support the standard of lighting at Owlerton Just as an aside, what's happened to the usual souvenir seller, who's been there for more years than either he or I would care to remember? Seemed to be just selling Tony Mac's magazines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
