[USAWolf]

Heat 1: Lubos Tomicek takes the R/R ride. From the gate. The track has lots of shale on it and is deep. It's looks like it's been well watered. The riders are a bit tentative in the early stages. Hopefully things will settle down for a good racing surface.

Heat 2: Courtney goes straight on at the third turn and impedes Ronnie, who slows badly. He recovers to take third but can't catch Tomicek.

Heat 3: An impressive win for David, who rode the track really well. OSM fill in the minor placings easily... It's another poor ride from the skipper.

Heat 4: Ronnie doesn't make it on to the track in time and is excluded under the 2 minute rule. Magnus takes his place as a reserve substitution. Loram makes a terrible start and Hamill is away. Loram rides a good race and almost catches Hamill on the final lap.

Heat 5; Iversen takes R/R ride. The OSM pair gate and are on a 5-1 With David giving chase. David rides a wide line around turn 3, then cuts back under Iversen to take second place. Another poor ride from Johnston; the crowd's unrest is growing.

Heat 6: From the gate. Courtney way adrift at the back.

Heat 7: First time of asking... Magnus gates, Mark does NOT. Loram chases after the Oxford pair and in his haste to get past, ploughs into McGowan. The race is stopped and Loram is excluded from the re-run. Mark goes over to appologise to Travis. In the re-run, Magnus gates again but doesn't have the speed and is passed by BOTH OSM riders. Oh dear!

Heat 8: McGowan takes R/R ride. Ronnie wins it; McGowan and Pecyna pass and re-pass... Travis wins out in the end.

Heat 9: A great win for David over Hamill; from the back, too! The crowd are relieved as Johnston takes a point from Courtney.

Heat 10: It's all gone pear-shaped. The Oxford pair gate and are on a 5-1. Freddie gets past McGowan and rhugs the white line. McGowan goes out into the dirt and rides around Freddie to give his team a maximum heat win.

Heat 11: Ronnie takes a reserve ride for Magnus. From the gate.

Interval now in progress.

Heat 12: Better news from The Green. Ronnie takes a fine win and is followed home by... STEVE JOHNSTON!

Heat 13: Hamill takes the win. Loram limits the damage by passing Hancock to take second. Freddie continues his lacklustre night by falling on the fourth bend of the first lap.

Heat 14: Great win for Ronnie, followed home by David after Iversen fell. It's a last heat decider!

Heat 15: H & H in for OSM... David and RONNIE go for Wolves. H & H gate for the 5-1 but David gets by Herbie on the second bend and holds on for second. It's a DRAW!
