The Friday night Pairs Championship went well tonight.
I was roped into sending text messages so that our online friends could keep up with events at the stadium. It was hard work but I felt part of the network of fans again. Looking at the comments of those stuck at home it was worth the effort to allow them to join in the fun albeit in a limited capacity.
There were some upsets that pleased the neutrals and some great racing at the end.
The final between Isle of Wight and Glasgow was the highlight for me as Glasgow got into a winning position with Shane Parker leading and Craig Watson in third place. The scoring system of 4-3-2-0 meant that Glasgow were in a winning position at 6-3. In the third lap of a four lap race Chris Holder overtook Shane Parker to take the score to 5-4 to Glasgow but that was still enough for a win.
As I pop over to the Isle of Wight every year they are my second team and it was pure pleasure to watch Jason Bunyan pass Craig Watson on the last lap to take the title back off the south coast.
I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I now have to hope that the British Grand Prix in Cardiff lives up to expectations and provides some exciting racing to match that witnessed tonight.
