OdsalBoy Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sheffield Speedway present the "TOP GUN" individual event at Owlerton next Thursday (19/07/18). formerly known as the "Steel City Championship/ Cream Of The Conference". These meetings usually turn out to be very interesting with great racing on show, so i encourage all to go to this one for sure. Usually a good mixture of NL/ New Aussies/ Untried Euro riders etc makes for a very interesting field, very raw with such good racing on show. Thoughts everyone ? I see Josh Coyne is riding, could we be seeing Cooper Riordan also ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel'n'Back Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Cooper Riordan has already been confirmed as riding. Can't wait to see him ride after seeing his spins after recent meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uluru Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Absolutely great to see Zaine, Josh and Kye being allowed to race in this. Why can they ride at Sheffield but not in the leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a open invitational meeting and would need a visa to ride in championship but would not to qualify in the top 3 of there national championships to be considered for a visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted July 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Should be a cracker of a meeting this one, looking forward to seeing how the young Aussies get on around Owlerton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerblade Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 As we know, there wasn't a meeting last Thursday, so the argument could have been that people had £16 to save from that. Not saying that I think £13 constituted "slashed" myself, just playing Devil's Advocate. Anyhow, the meeting... Connor rode really well, as of course did Nathan Greaves who has certainly improved a lot since he rode for the Tigers. As well as the others mentioned, I was also impressed with Kye Thomsen. He certainly was looking for good lines, although his awareness of others didn't look 100% at times, but that's due to inexperience and can be put right.

Steve55 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Heat 19 was one of the best I've seen at Sheffield this season, Kye Thomsen and Josh McDonald really going for it, never seen a rider hit the fence going around the second bend, nearly come off the bike, then put the power on to pass down the back straight and win the race! Fantastic entertainment. Zaine Kennedy, another Aussie entertainer, well deserved his second place in the final. Rode the outside well, but also used other lines throughout the evening. This overall was a meeting worth while attending with some young riders taking on some more established fellas with experience of the track and showing some real potential! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
