Star Lady (BSF):
Well done RooBoy, if only all meetings were like that.
Racing was excellent, overtakes in most races and close racing in others.
Presentation of riders was as it should be - individually and doing wheelies etc.
Races flowed quickly from one to the next - no interminable tractors going round, the quality of the racing proving that grading after every heat or two is totally unnecessary (adverse weather excepted).
Juniors given a chance to race in front of a large crowd - has to be good for them and for the crowd to see up and comers. Nice to also see they still acknowledge the crowd with a wave :approve: (some seniors need to take note)
Centre green presentation was superb - I'm not usually a fan of commentary during a race but Mr Aunger was brilliant. Informative, enthusiastic, colourful and most certainly not repetitive.
The light show was interesting but IMO needs a bit of refining but for a first go was good.
The startline (a la Sheffield) was always gonna be good, the flames adding a certain something.
The fireworks were excellent and their timing was spot on.
Two minute dashes were interesting and threw up a couple of surprises.
I could go on but I think you get the idea. It was fresh, it was different, it was slick and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Only minor hiccup was the lack of results being announced after the races but don't think anyone really cared.
Thank you RooBoy for the meeting and the years of service you have given to British Speedway.
Now which promoter will have the guts to use some or all of your ideas or better still use you as a presentation consultant.
