Well done Kevin Doolan.

[NWS]

Well done Kevin Doolan.

 

He likes winning these open meetings

[crikeythatsfast]

Well done Dooly

 

Yes he likes winning these meetings, or trying to, he's just getting good prep for the 2010 season

[DJM-Monarch]

as a Monarch big well done to Joszef Tabaka...8 points in his first meeting

[MattyHart]

He only beat 2 riders to be fair, and one of those hasn't ridden for 2 or so years.

Maybe so but give him some credit.

 

He didn't fall like some nor did his equipment let him down like some, so I say well done to Joszef Tabaka on a track he hadn't seen before

[MattyHart]

Of course, credit is due, and well done to him. Just pointing out.

[Vincent Vega]

Why did so many withdraw sounds like they couldnt be bothered.

[Mimmo]

Well done to the riders, promotional team and track staff. Considering the conditions this was a fairly good meeting, and congratulations to Kevin Doolan.

 

Once again I was mightily impressed with Jerran Hart, and he'll surely be a force to be reckoned with in 2010.

 

After the negative comments I made about Luke Bowen last season, he once again proved me wrong, and was very worthy of a place in the Grand Final.

 

Like a couple of other folk have said, Jozsef Tabaka DID LOOK GOOD, and let no one down.

 

Nice to catch up with people like Stephanie Lambert, Phil Kirk and Kevin Moore, and amazingly, they didn't look a day older from the last time I saw them. Well.....Steph did, but that's strictly between you guys and I

 

The best thing to come out of today is that if riders can put up such good performances in conditions like that in the middle of winter, then they'll be no reason to suffer any more rain-off's in the summer

 

Happy New Year to everyone, and well done once again to everyone at the Eddie Wright Raceway this afternoon.

[tigerblues]

Decent meeting, considering the weather and the conditions the riders did well. After Hall announced as withdrawn, we were only supporting Ashworth, was disappointed when he withdrew, although after a good first race he did seem to get slower. Doolan was superb and a deserved winner so congratulations to him. Hart was a bit of a suprise when you consider he was up against some good riders but he was excellent, was brilliant when he beat Doolan in particular and he fully deserved his place on the rostrum. Tabaka did look pretty good, whether he can hold his average next year remains to be seen but potentially Edinburgh have a decent rider there.

My first visit to Scunny - we'll be back. The place was a doddle to find, the facilities are enough, plenty of room to get a good view, everyone I saw associated with the running of the place seemed very, very friendly.. all that was missing was the decent weather because I was absolutely freezing but can hardly be helped. Will hopefully pop over a few times in the summer when it gets a bit warmer
