Comments:
The referee is Tony Steele.
Diamonds win the toss, taking 1 & 3 in the first heat.
Heat 1: Robertson is the r/r.
Heat 1: BOTH Bandits made the gate, but were caught out by track conditions and were soon passed. Rempala seemed to give up after that.
Heat 2: Both Bandits gated again. Warwick was passed by Robertson on the back straight/3rd lap, then had an ef.
Heat 3: Branney is the r/r.
Heat 3: Burza by a distance.
Heat 4: Warwick reserve ride for Branney
Heat 4: McKinna in as a reserve for Robertson.
Heat 4: Makovsky by a mile. Grieves passed Warwick on 4th bend/lap 2. McKinna all over the place.
Heat 5: Bergstrom chased Franc all the way. Rempala just "pottered about" at the back.
heat 6: Robertson takes a reserve ride in the r/r position.
Heat 7: Branney taking a reserve ride in the r/r position.
Heat 7: McKinna had bike problems before the start. Went back to the pits with 30 seconds remaining of the 2 minutes. What seemed like 2 minutes later, he rode out of the pits and took his place in the race.
Heat 8: Henry is the r/r.
Heat 9: Warwick passed Henry on the first lap, but was re-passed on the final bend, and lost out by half a wheel on the line.
Heat 10: Robertson & Branney taking reserve rides in the r/r position...Burza taking a tac ride.
Heat 10: Stancl was close to Burza for the first 3 laps. Branney slid off bend 3/lap 1, remounted, but did nowt.
Heat 12: Bergstrom is the r/r..Branney reserve for Warwick.
Raining quite hard. This could possibly be the last heat..
Referee is inspecting the track after complaints from Berwick. Both Diamonds were at the tapes. Robertson decided to try a practice lap and promptly slid off on the first bend
Bizarre decision from the ref. Pronounced the track as "fit to ride", but ordered track work to be done before we can resume!
The referee has declared that racing will commence at 20:30. Whether there's any Berwick riders on the track when it does is open to debate according to the texter.
Heat 12: Robertson fell on the third bend/lap 3.
Heat 13: Bandits were on a 5-1 when Grieves fell and made no attempt to get off the track. The referee excluded him from the re-run. Absolutely shameful and disgraceful performance by Grieves according to the texter.
Heat 15 Line Up
Franc..Stancl..Rempala..Burza
Bandits won the toss and take 1 & 3.
Berwick win the bonus by a point.
Thanks to anon for the updates and to all of you for watching.
