Peter Craven Memorial Meeting Saturday 1st April 2017


Recommended Posts

So, what are the 'circumstances beyond our control', the reason for not staging on 31st March? I wish people would be more honest.

They dIddnt have use of stadium as there were 3 football matches on

I know this thread is well intentioned.

But it is doing the new regime a potential disservice at the moment.

 

PHIL as OP will you please change the thread title.

The meeting is on APRIL 1st NOT March 26.

How do I change it please???

Absolutely superb meeting. Certainly cheered a couple of fed up Bees fans up on a Saturday night.

 

Brilliant. Probably one of the best meetings I've seen in 33 years. 18 of the 22 heats were excellent and at least half a dozen of them were mind bendingly good.

Tonight's meeting was off the scale in terms of racing entertainment !

 

In my 15 years of filming Speedway, it has to rank in my top 3 out of the 1000s I've filmed, certainly the best individual event I've ever covered.

 

Truly wonderful stuff, well done to everyone involved.

It's the type of meeting we should be screaming for.

 

Seriously, that track is just amazing.

 

Every race. EVERY RACE had a pass, in fact the one pass races seemed boring. I'm so lucky to live next to that.

An amazing meeting which proved beyond doubt that you don't need the best riders in the world to produce excellent racing.

 

Kenneth Bjerre was a deserved winner. He was passing riders for fun and certainly not backing off when he was in some tight situations. Batchelor was impressive as were Hougard, Fricke and Brady Kurtz, particularly in his earlier races. Zagar had some good races but said it was his first competitive meeting this year and it showed in his gating.

 

All 16 riders gave it their all and it showed how brilliant this sport can be if you give riders a track which allows them to show their skills.

Will the DVD be ready this week, I'm sure you'll get lots of interest?

Great to red that the track was good. What was the crowd like?

I'm rubbish at guessing crowd sizes. But I'd say about 1500-1800.

 

backstraight was full. Grandstand over half full
