Steady won the toss and chose the inside gates again! He passed his team mate
on the second turn and never looked back. Disappointing given he's the skipper,
and his team mate was Ben Wilson making his return to Owlerton after 5 years.
Chris Mills showed he hasn't forgotten Owlerton with an accomplished win in
heat 2. After a poor start Taylor Poole switched back to pass Nikki Barrett
on the inside of the second turn on the third lap. Andre had heat 3 sewn up
tight until he collected a puncture and slowed on the last lap. Leigh Lanham
never recovered from becoming the filling in a Diamond sandwich on the first
turn. Taylor flew into the lead in heat 4 and Ty joined him when Chris locked
up slightly on the pits turn. Andre had an expensive sounding ef at the start
of heat 5 leaving Leigh to battle from the back, which he did in style picking
off Danny on the second turn, and then Lewis Rose in the same place one lap
later. Tigers lead by 4 points.
Simon trapped to win heat 6 from Ludwig, Ben
and Nikki. I can't remember the number of passes we witnessed in heat 7. Suffice
it to say that for three laps Ty, Stuart and Lewis Kerr gave it all they could
muster and passed inside and out before a supreme outside blast by Ty gave him
the lead on the last lap. Brilliant racing! Taylor and Ben team rode for a couple
of laps in heat 8 before they edged clear of Chris. Andre led the way in heat
9 and Leigh denied Ludwig any extra points from his tactical ride by passing
him on the third turn. Lewis Kerr took a comfortable win in heat 10 after Steady
slowed up with a sick engine. Ben gave Stuart a good test with Stuart
having to pass him twice. Tigers lead pegged back to ten points.
Ty took the lead on the first lap of heat 11 and Lewis Rose passed Lee Payne
on the fourth turn. Stuart passed Leigh on the first lap of heat 12 but Leigh
battled back on the inside of the pits turn. Stuart regained the lead on the
second lap only for Leigh to pass him again at the start of lap 3. Stuart blasted
around the outside and into an unassailable lead while Taylor relegated Chris
to last place. Steady was left standing again in heat 13. Ty picked off Ludwig
on the second turn but couldn't catch Daniel. Taylor and Andre trapped well
to win heat 14 with ease. Ty ran out of track on a busy first turn in heat 15.
He got his head down and blasted around Stuart on the second turn of the second
lap. stayed high and wide to pass Leigh off the fourth turn and was alongside
Daniel when the air fence collected him on the third lap. He was able to walk
gingerly away and fingers crossed he has no ill effects.
Promising debut by Ben, solid returns from Leigh and Andre, and exceptional
racing from the Aussies. Let's hope Simon can sort out his gremlins and Josh
is soon fit again...
