It was a triumphant return to the Wessex
stadium for ex-Wildcat star Lee Smart
in an incident filled evening that opened
the new season for Weymouth. Lee who
now rides in the Premier League for
the Birmingham Brummies racked up six
wins and was only really troubled by
Barry Burchett who led him for the first
lap in heat 16 and Mark Baseby who chased
Smart hard before falling on the last
lap of heat 8.
The Rye House boys packed in behind
Smart with Daniel Halsey taking the
second spot and Lee Strudwick following
him home for third, they all go forward
to the grand final at Lakeside on Friday
April 25 with Gareth Isherwood taking
one of the reserve places.
It was a nightmare of a night for Mark
Baseby who last year dropped only two
points in the under 21 round at Weymouth
claiming third, 12 months on and he
fell in his first three rides before
withdrawing from the meeting.
After three heats Smart had already
pulled clear of the rest but it was
very tight for the remaining places
with Halsey and Bates both on seven
points and Lee Strudwick Kyle Newman,
Barry Burchatt and Gareth Isherwood
right behind them on six points. Bates
challenge was about to come off the
rails though as he trailed home last
in his fourth and then hit the fence
in his last ride.
Weymouth Wildcat young gun Kyle Newman
who 12 months ago had only just swung
his leg over a speedway bike for the
first time put up a very impressive
performance. After a fall in his first
ride he quickly got into his stride
with a hat-trick of wins and a second
in heat 20 when he came up against Smart.
In the last chance qualifier second
behind Burchatt impatience got the better
of him and he dived hard under the Crusader
causing him to hit the fence and the
exclusion of Newman ended his hopes
of reaching the final.
