P T Preece Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Coming up for this one if the weather is kind to us. Should be a close meeting both teams being about equal. Like my trips to Buxton and missing the PL 4s as well. Come on rain stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P T Preece Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Enjoyed that, some good racing and the track rode well, well done to Carr on his max (well deserved best rider on show) and Atkin who let him get it, just like the old days. Saw Extance earlier in the season and couldent believe it was the same rider, well done. Devon were a bit of a mix and match Andrews, Johnston and Govier the stars for them, felt a bit sorry for Luke Whitehead drafted in at the last minute and got a point, admittaly there were only 3 riders in it, but as he only rides in the MDL I thought he did ok. Very windy, but sunshine and no rain despite the clouds that kept passing over, very enjoyable meeting run well. I dont understand speedway supporters any more a few years ago this place was packed, cars parked all round the track, its an enjoyable afternoon with none of the primadonnas from the EL all the riders put there heart into it and nearly all of them are of the same grade, despite the score the racing was close today. Well done buxton. Anubody know the last race time, couldent hear it as driving out at the time. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddy2706 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 It was an interesting and enjoyable meeting, not the one I expected, but nonetheless well worth the money. The fact that Devon rode at all, given the circumstances was astonishing, very well done to the drafted-in riders who made the match possible, thank you. It was nice to see Tyler Govier has grown both in stature and ability since we last saw him at Buxton, Adam Extance has improved in leaps and bounds too. Whilst it was a shame so many riders couldn't be there due to various circumstances, all credit to the Buxton and Devon management teams for putting a good show on.
