Heat 1: Arena win the toss and take 1&3. Mike wins from the gate, Louis close behind but - Lawt says - the tracks 'as bald as a ducks arse' so no way past. Hurry in as R/R and beat Magnus easily for 3rd.

Heat 2: Christian easy win from the gate. Off gate 3 but went round Hurry on ist bend and was gone. (Can't be bothered to type out the Pole's name each time so I'll just be putting PUZ!)

Heat 3: Lanham off gate 1 makes a good start but Freddie's off gate 4 and makes a good sweep round the outside on the 1st bend to take the lead. Ronnie and Johnston are side by side for a lap until Ronnie pulls clear. Scores level.

Heat 4: From the gate...blinding start from Christian again - Hamill sat behind him and held out Hurry (only JUST though - close on the line!). Joonas missed gate and went out looking for the non-existant dirt round the outside - ef (or possibly stopped in a sulk!) after 2 laps. Woo Hoo - Come on you Wolves! ;D

Heat 5 : A bit of controversy! Louis gates and wins by a mile (just his sort of track - gate and hold the white line!). Johnston clear in 2nd. Magnus in third and Lanham all over him. coming into lap 4, Lanham goes under Magnus and they both fall. It appears to our intrepid supporters that Magnus falls first and Lanham gets back on and finishes 3rd. After the race the ref puts the exclusion light on for Lanham and awards Magnus 3rd! A bit dodgy but we'll take it (says MM2!)

Heat 6: From the gate again. Daniel got to the start and his bike died. We put him off 15 m but he failed to make 2 mins again so we went with just Hamill (as this counts as one of Giffards rides!). MM2 says it's there for the taking tonight - Loius, Hamill, Freddie and Christian look s*** hot out of the starts and Ronnie and Magnus look up for it too. Joonas has spent ages moaning to Russell about the lack of dirt on the track!

Heat 7: Bit of a pause whilst Ronnie Russell made lots of excuses about why he couldn't get e team together.... Eventually the race started...Jonnas gated and Freddie did a great move round the outside on the 4th bend to take the lead. Fred then decided to hold the white line and Joonas did the same move on him! Ronnie clearly in 3rd.

Heat 8: Won by our new number 1!!! Cracking gate again - held out Hurry and Lnahm who were all over him. Magnus made the gate and rode round the outside for a lap (in 3rd and challenging for 2nd!) but then ran out of room when Hurry and Lnham both wnet under him - good ride from him though.

***Slight pause for 10 minutes whilst I put mini-loop to bed....back ASAP I promise!!! ***

I'm back - but it's all gone seriously pear-shaped...

Heat 9: Hamill gated and held mid-track but the Arena riders go either side down the back straight. Johnston clatters into Hamill and he loses momentum (Johnston apologises after the race)

Heat 10: Mikael and Hurry make the start...end of story!

Heat 11: Cracking ride from Joonas. Louis gated but Joonas stalked him for 3 laps and went round him to take the win. Hefenbrock in for Magnus

Heat 12: Yeaaah that's more like it!!!!! ;D Ronnie of gate 4 with Hurry and Johnston inside him - No Chance is the verdict from the Wolves fans....oh ye of little faith!!! The Rocket flew out of the gate round the boards (no seriously!!! ) and disappears off to win by 30 yards! Hurry trying to 'bully' Christian for 4 laps but he was having none of it! And we're back in front!!!

Heat 13: VERY close race! Wolves on for a 5-1 for 3 laps with the Arena riders all over Hamill whose on the outside line looking for some non-existent dirt! Mike goes underneath him on the first bend of the last lap and then on the run in to the line Joonas goes round the outside to pass Hamill on the line. After the race Joonas runs into the back of mike and highsides it. Is up and seems ok.

Heat 14: Very eventful race. Arena riders gate and Fred goes under both of them on 2nd bend to take the lead. On the 2nd lap, Lanham pushes Fred really wide and gets past him. On 3rd lap, Christian does the same to Puz to regain the 3 all!

***After the race, they announce that Kylmakorpi has broken his collarbone!!!***


YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!! AN AWAY WIN AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!WHOOOHOOOO!!!!!!.......SORRY BACK TO THE RACE....

Heat 15: Wolves win the toss and have 1&3. Louis gates and holds his beloved white line for 4 laps!!!! Good old Chris! Freddie trying everything round the outside of Lanham but no dirt!

Cue wild celebrations from the 9 Wolves fans on the back straight (and me on the phone!!!!) ;D ;D ;D
