SIM SPEEDWAY 2016 - EVOLUTION LEAGUE
We came into this season with hope after the turmoil of our close season when we brought into the Maidstone team as was to give a new franchise the chance to race in the AL.
Enough of that, We were always in a losing scenario and saw ourselves 10 points behind at heat 7, losing Dowden through injury in heat 8 was a worry, but the latest update shows his ankle is that badly damaged it may never be strong enough to race again, but time will tell.
As for the heat 12 crash involving DeVaux as he picked up some extra grip and headed for safety fence outside of the air fence, seeing the rider trapped in the fence in a mangled mess was not a pretty sight, but good work by the St Johns lads ensured Jesse was comfortable for the ambulance journey, the latest update shows he has multiple injuries, crushing to the upper body, lacerations, a hip injury, lower leg injury as well as hand and arm problems, the overall diagnosis will be determined once the swellings go down and the rider is more alert as he is currently concussed.
Question marks over the Thanet Arena track were on the fans minds, but skipper Viv Thompson allayed fears and said "its as good as any in this league, we have no problem racing here.
As for the meeting that paled into insignificance as the worries for the riders welfare took over, so Westwood were able to pick up the 2 points on offer.
Now Taylor and Templeton have the job of replacing these two riders.
Fred was quickly making contact with clubs and his fellow NSSPA colleagues to sift through rider availability.
