Around the Premier League Tracks 2007

Wednesday, 27 June
There were two Premier League matches raced tonight. At Birmingham the Brummies raced Somerset while at King’s Lynn the Stars took Mildenhall.
Premier League: Birmingham 49, Somerset 41
Both Birmingham and Somerset were at full strength
Birmingham’s eight point win in this match was the most there was between the two teams all match. The Brummies were handicapped by the withdrawal of Aidan Collins who had pushed home for the best part of a lap in his second ride for a third place point after suffering an engine failure in a three man rerun of heat 6. Unfortunately he injured his back in the long push home and was withdrawn on medical advice. The Brummies were indebted to an excellent 13 point return from reserve, Lee Smart who won four of his six races.
Somerset never quite had enough scoring power to topple the home side although Magnus Zetterstrom dropped only one point – to Jason Lyons in heat 15 and he, and Emil Kramer, scored more than half the Rebels’ total.
Somerset produced four of the first five winners yet the match was still tied after heat 5. Three 4-2s to the Brummies gave them a 6 point lead after heat 8 and another 4-2 in heat 10 stretched the lead to eight points. Magnus Zetterstrom won heats 11 and 13 while Emil Kramer won heat 12 but the Rebels only managed to pull two points back during that three heat spell.
Lee Smart tied things up for the home side by winning heat 14 for a shared heat while Jason Lyons ensured that Magnus Zetterstrom did not go through the card by winning the last heat with Birmingham taking a 4-2 when Ulrich Ostergaard finished third ahead of Emil Kramer.
Scorers: For Birmingham – Lee Smart 13 (6), Ulrich Ostergaard 11 (5), Jason Lyons 10 (5), Ben Powell 7+2 (6), Emiliano Sanchez 4+2 (3), Aidan Collins 2+1 (2), Jon Armstrong 2 (3).
For Somerset – Magnus Zetterstrom 14 (5), Emil Kramer 8 (5), Simon Walker 6+1 (5), Jordan Frampton 5 (4), Ritchie Hawkins 4+1 (4), Stephan Katt 3 (4), Danny Warwick 1 (3).
Premier League: King’s Lynn 48, Mildenhall 45.
King’s Lynn were without Grant MacDonald and continued with Simon Lambert at number 7. Mildenhall were at full strength.
Wow! Another last heat decider at Saddlebow Road. For the second time in six days the Stars were pushed all the way, this time by a Mildenhall side who lost Tom P Madsen after he fell heavily in his second ride and withdrew from the meeting. This opened up the stage to Mildenhall’s two most recent signings. Tomas Suchanek won his last three races for 14 points while Paul Fry added another 13 with the aid of a six point Tactical Ride.
It took some time to get the track into a fit state for this meeting to go ahead and particularly early on some of the riders struggled to cope with the conditions.
The Stars opened with two 4-2s only to be shocked by a 1-5 from Kyle Legault and Jason King ahead of Daniel Nermark and Trevor Harding. A Paul Lee win in heat 4 produced a shared heat and a score of 12-12.
King’s Lynn then blistered ahead with two 5-1s and two 4-2s over the next four heats to rocket into a 12 point lead with the score moving to 30-18. Tom P Madsen fell in heat 5 while at the back resulting in a visit on track by the ambulance and his withdrawal from the meeting.
The Mildenhall fight back started in heat 9. Paul Fry won a Tactical Ride for a 3-6 heat advantage and Kyle Legault won heat 10 for a shared heat. Then came two race wins from Tomas Suchanek in heats 11 and 12. In his first win, ahead of Paul Lee, he had Shaun Tacey in third place for a 2-4 and in the next race Daniel Nermark only just got up to pass his partner, Kyle Legault, for another 2-4. These heat advantages cut the Stars’ lead to five points with the score at 40-35.
Tomas Topinka won heat 13 from Paul Fry and, with Paul Lee third, the home side stopped the rot with a 4-2 stretching their lead to seven points but they got a jolt when Tomas Suchanek stepped up again to win heat 14. This time Jason King followed him home for a 1-5 to cut the lead further to only three points setting up the last heat decider. Tomas Topinka won the last heat to see the Stars home but the home fans were keeping their fingers crossed that he didn’t suffer an engine failure after Paul Lee had fallen since Kyle Legault and Paul Fry were ready to pounce.
Scorers: For King’s Lynn– Tomas Topinka 14 (5), Paul Lee 9 (5), James Brundle 8+1 (5), Daniel Nermark 7+1 (4), Trevor Harding 5+1 (4), Chris Mills 4+1 (4), Simon Lambert 1 (3).
For Mildenhall – Tomas Suchanek 14 +1 (7), Paul Fry 13+1 (5)(with 6 point TR), Kyle Legault 9 (5), Jason King 5+2 (4), Shaun Tacey 4 (4), Tom P Madsen 0 (2), Mark Thompson 0 (3).
