Heat Details...

MM2 says the track looks thick in places and patchy in others, should get better as the meeting progresses...

Heat 1. Wiltshire, P Karlsson, Watt , Hefenbrock . 56.49. 2-4. 2-4
From the gate, Wiltshire off gate 1 pushed everyone wide and into the thick dirt and lead away.

Heat 2. Lawson, Andersson, M Karlsson, Tomicek . 57.94. 4-2. 6-6
Magnus gated but hit the thick dirt on bend 1-2 and Andersson, looking very fast passed him. Lawson rode well to keep Andersson at bay.

Heat 3. Hamill, Howe, Skornicki, Lawson. 56.79. 3-3. 9-9
Hamill gated, but Howe passed him leaving turn 2, Billy wound it up and repassed David on turns 3-4. Lawson snapping at Adam's heels but could not pass him.

Heat 4. Lindgren, Norris, Andersson, M Karlsson. 56.83. 3-3. 12-12
Good start from Freddie, Magnus passed Andersson, but Andersson was faster and went back under MK on lap 3.

Heat 5. Wiltshire, Hamill, Watt, Lawson. 57.03. 2-4. 14-16
Wiltshire's riding very fast tonight, Billy just edged out. Lawson passed Watt for 3rd but Watt was too fast and repassed him

Heat 6. P Karlsson, Norris, Hefenbrock, Tomicek. 57.11. 4-2. 18-18
From the gate, Christian much faster in this race.

Heat 7. Howe, M Karlsson, Lindgren, Skornicki. 57.92. 3-3. 21-21
Oops. Lindgren gated, Magnus in for William steams round the outside and we're on a 5-1. The Wolves try to team ride but Magnus is slower than Howe and Howe manages to pass under both Wolves. Adam is looking slow at the back, a bike problem?

Heat 8. Andersson, Watt, Lawson, Hefenbrock. 58.31. 1-5. 22-26
Hefenbrock seems to completely miss the gate, Lawson (in for Magnus) leads for a short time but gets muscled out by the fast Oxford Pair.

Heat 9. Hamill, Norris, M Karlsson, Tomicek. 56.92. 4-2. 26-28
Norris gates but Billy is having none of it and storms round the boards on lap 3 bends 3-4 to take the lead.

Heat 10. P Karlsson, Hefenbrock, Howe, Skornicki. 57.07. 5-1. 31-29
A Good win from PK with Christian making a good gate and blocking Howes every attempt. No Donuts tonight Adam seems well off the boil.

Heat 11. Lindgren, Wiltshire, Watt, Lawson. 57.40. 3-3. 34-32
Cracking gate from Freddie, otherwise from the gate. Interval Now

Heat 12. Howe, Hefenbrock, Andersson, M Karlsson. 58.51. 2-4. 36-36
Christian gates well but the Oxford pair (Andersson in for Tomicek) pass him, but Christian finds some extra dirt on lap 3 and retakes 2nd.

Heat 13. P Karlsson, Norris, Wiltshire, Lindgren. 57.51. 3-3. 39-39
The Oxford pair storm out the gate, but PK, head down, goes under Wiltshire on lap 2, and storms round the outside of Floppy on the end of lap 3. Freddie is virtually level with Wiltshire but loses out on the line.

Heat 14. Hamill, Andersson, Lawson, Skornicki. 57.97. 4-2. 43-41
Easy win for Billy, good battle behind him with William trying for 2nd and Skornicki snapping at his heels

Heat 15. Norris, Hamill, P Karlsson, Wiltshire. 57.43. 3-3. 46-44
Norris gates before the tapes go up and the ref lets it go. (a new one on test apparently). Hamill tries all sorts to pass Floppy but he shuts the door on the last bend and Hamill does well not to enter the dog track.

So a close win, but an important 2 points.
