At last! Steady won the toss and chose the inside gates. For the first time
this season our heat leaders all won their opening rides and after 4 heats we
held an 8 point lead! Steady trapped ahead of Ed Kennett in heat 1 and
never looked like being caught, while Luke Bowen was right on Simon Nielsen's
rear wheel but never attempted to pass. The Tigers led away in heat 2 but Jason
Bunyan passed Josh at the start of the second lap and set off in pursuit of
Taylor. Stefan Nielsen gave Josh a good ride and Jason tried inside and out
but couldn't get past Taylor. An excellent first bend saw Leigh round Mathieu
Tresarrieu in heat 3 and Josh led heat 4 until passed by Ty on the back straight
as we claimed our first 5-1. The Rockets gated in heat 5 but Leigh passed Ed
on the pits turn at the end of the first lap. Tigers lead cut back to 6 points.
Jason Bunyan made the most of the outside gate to blast around Steady in
heat 6 and never looked like being caught. Simon Nielsen quietly wore Steve
Boxall down and passed on the inside of the last turn to claim a shared heat.
The Rockets led heat 7 and Taylor fell on the apex of the 3rd & 4th turns
as Ty blasted past on the inside. Ty made a better start in the rerun and Jason
Garrity fell trying to block Ty's outside line. Josh led heat 8 from Stefan
Nielsen who got alongside him on the back straight on the third lap. Stefan
then tried to lean on Josh into the third turn but Josh held his line and Stefan
tested the air fence. Andre pushed Steve all the way home in heat 9 while Leigh
relegated Jason Bunyan (on a tactical ride) to last place with an inside pass
at the end of the second lap. Jason fell trying too hard to get back in contention.
The Rockets were fast away in heat 10 and while Steady passed his team mate
on the first lap he never caught the visiting pair. The Tigers lead is pegged
back to 6 points.
Ty led heat 11 and Taylor rounded Ed out of the second bend to follow him
home for a comfortable 5-1. The rockets best pairing trapped ahead in heat 12
but Leigh was left with nowhere to go outside Mathieu and tumbled into the fence.
Many ref's would have ruled 'first bend bunching', but not Peter Clarke. Ed
trapped ahead in heat 13 but Steady went under him into turn three and Ty
blasted around him out of turn four on the first lap and went on to claim his
first maximum for the Tigers. Garrity led heat 14 from Taylor and then Bunyan,
but Taylor dived past into the lead on the third turn and then again on the
second turn, while Andre switched back under the NZ Grand Prix wildcard out
of turn four to extend the Tigers lead. Taylor got the nod for heat 15 alongside
his skipper against the best Rockets pair. Steady and Taylor led the way but
Mathieu powered around the Tigers reserve at the end of the first lap.
A good nights racing with Taylor receiving the 'Man of the match' bubbly.
Just building up some headway with the team coming to terms with their home
track and guess what..? No meeting next Thursday!
