Team of the Weekend (Read 2,219 times)

[Jeffery]

Interested in hearing people’s thoughts of the drivers of the weekend and who would make their “Top 5”


1b Randal Tarrant - Executed both blocking and running roles for the Hawkeyes with ease, and came up clutch v the Kings. Form driver this season in both individual and now teams

10r Alan McRobbie - took an absolute beating in his role as blocker, but never faltered and delivered arguably one of the most spectacular hits of recent teams champs.

28s Blair Uhlenberg - really impressive rookie performance. Read each race well and knew when and where to block when needed. Runner skills were outstanding too.

52b Regan O’Brien - the Hawkeyes benefited from Regan reading the race well and blocking the correct opposition lead car each time. A great way and to retire

58p Peter Bengston - back to the old Peter B in my opinion, delivering brutal hits with car and driver performing at a high level

19m Kerry Remnant - also a great teams champs for the 24th on the trot. Always puts car and body on the line and deserving winner of the Spike.

My top 5 standout in no particular order

1 1nzb Randle Tarrant amazing running and blocking pulled out a clutch elimination against 126k

2 84s Haydin Barker his experience in stockcar teams blocking really showed this weekend putting in critical blocks to guide a new look Scrappers to 5th overall.

3 19m Kerry Remnant brilliant driving all weekend and awesome sportsmanship in the 3rd 4th race.

4 144g/31g Tim "BEASTMODE" Ross instrumental in getting the Giants to the final was hitting everything left right and centre. Unlucky for the Giants to not claim the top spot.

5 66a Hayden "Lofty" Hart he drove the a$$ off that tank all weekend read all his races very well if the Allstars keep their current lineup they will go far.

I haven't seen the old Jack Miers this season and think he was quiet compared to other years.

One driver not mentioned so far is Ross Ashby. I thought he toiled brilliant for the Busters this weekend.

[midway]

Bruce Robertson ,another great Teams race meeting
Puk for his loyalty in keeping the spirit of the meeting going forward
The infield crew of Volunteers
The Officials often amiss but still able to keep the show rolling on
The St John People ,and other medical staff that so many take for granted
And finally the crowd and those who paid for watching another great meeting of Teams ,
Oh and the teams themselves ,thanks guys & girls, sponsors ,and those who make this a great speedway show of entertainment ...

True that midway

Proud to be part of the team at the ENZED Superstock Teams Champs that Bruce Robertson started 40 years ago.

Here's just some of the team, there are many more great people behind the show, top show to you all.

My team of the weekend:

Ethan Rees - his drive against the Panthers was every bit as good as his old man's solo drive for the Panthers against the Rebels several years ago. He fought a lonely battle in the final as well.
Randal Tarrant - blocking or running, simply unstoppable. Taking out Asher Rees on Night One was probably the decisive move of the weekend.
Regan O'Brien - a blocking superstar.
Alan McRobbie - some brutal hits in both races, including THAT hit on Darrel Wallace!
Peter Bengston - the Panthers will miss him hugely. Reads races better than pretty much anyone, and when he hits you, you stay hit!

Sixth driver: Kerry Remnant - seldom has a bad teams race, and was in sensational form this weekend.

Don't think Peter Bengston has retired, as some have suggested.
