Expand Shame the meeting was not run like the Aussie meetigs as one heat finished the next four riders where at the gate ready to go on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I can remember an Arena Essex meeting where rain was expected about 70 minutes after start time. Frank Ebdon was the referee and the two minute warning horn sounded as soon as the last rider finished the previous race throughout the whole meeting. As a result the meeting finished before the very heavy rain started under five minutes later! Frank always got through meetings quickly and I have always wished other referees would do the same.

Expand not too quickly though socialising with people you see at speedway is part of the evening and i wouldnt want it to be all over and done with in an hour or so id feel short changed 90-100 mins about right imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Can't say I noticed it being long drawn out either. We were having a good crack in the spring sunshine. Wonder how many moaning were watching it on TV ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.D Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Great ride from Chris Harris there, trademark cutback to go between two riders on the line. In the words of the great late Dave Lanning What a super ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aimed for the sunny side and it was a sound decision. Expand How many fahrenheit Michael Fish? 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
