RIDERS OVER 35 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP -SEMI-FINAL A
The sponsors Kioz Media brought together some names from past from 17 countries around Sim and we witnessed the strangest of meeting warmups.
The smells from the pits were coiming from the riders and not the usual methanol, there were a few strange noises as riders were creaking and cracking as they were preparing for the nights work ahead, the fans were given time around the pits and many of Sims future young riders were seen asking questions.
Once out on track though the riders showed the same determination and in the cases of Panozzo and Jonsson their efforts brought only pain as they overcooked things early in the proceedings.
Ex World Champ and Midlothian Panther the immaculately turned out Morton Simonsen the oldest rider in the field proved too good as his bikes sounded sweet, 2nd place saw Scott Newstead late of Hampden Eagles win the race off from Swede Fredrik Andersen and Czech Ales Fortes, the other qualifiers for the Final were Pole Jan Sczesniak, Scot James Marsh, BN Swede John Hellsen father of Tilbury Dockers racer Jon and ex Brighton Seagull and Grays Flyer Steven Evitts, winning his way to reserve spot was American Dubb Simms.
Of the rest there was disappointment especially Rado Kornacki, the Pole did look under prepared and rode on a borrowed bike, Academy League rider ex Estuary Whale and now leeds Jaguars racer Ben Leighton returned with 5 points, coach supreme Tomas Seur the Dutchman found the going tough despite him spending plenty of time on bikes. Reserve Andy Fielding and Bernt Klodtt, whilst the other reserve Norbert Levinsky, finished in 16th place as the injured Panozzo 1 point and the hapless Jonsson 0 completed the score charts.

RIDERS OVER 35 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP -SEMI-FINAL B
Current Abertllery Dragon and Aberavon team coach topped the charts here with some effortless riding for all his years, Yuri Jugovic was the only rider to challenge him and with his tip top bikes deserved his Final appearance, Jiri Varadi, Steve Novatril and Laszlow Balasz put in good effort whilst another ex Seagull Andreas Polonek made the final, Jay Gough was an unexpected finalist only here on holiday he borrowed a bike from Ray Vettori, which looked to spook Ray as he was injured in his first outing. Then it took a run off to decide 8th place as seasoned pro Andy Lawson a much travelled rider around the Sim leagues beat off Kryzstof Kozminski who earned the reserve place in the Final at the expense of fellow Pole Tomas Jasinski who just missed out. Of the rest there were some big names from the past as Rasmussen, Beijerholm, Rokeberg, Gramstad, reserve and father of current Sim Leaguer Sergei Malenkov Sn finshed 16th, as the luckless Shaw and Ilic filled the last two places.

RIDERS OVER 35 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP -THE FINAL
Well the fans who turned up really appreciated the quality of the speedway as Yuri Jugovic came here with victory on his mind and completed the job with a scintillating display. Thus completing a Polish double as Kornacki earlier won the shield meeting with a maximum.
James Marsh showed glimpses of his past to finish as runner up, whilst Swede Fredrik Andersen despite his retirement completed the podium. Scott Newstead put in a good shift for his 4th place, a 3 rider race off confirmed 5th, 6th and 7th, as Sczesniak, Andy Lawson and Morton Simonsen who looked out of sorts after both he and Carl Hooper had first race falls were ahead of fellow Aussie Jay Gough with Andreas Polonek in 10th place, John Hellsen with two wins in his 6 points saw him finish ahead of Steven Evitts and surprisingly Ales Fortes in 13th place who were followed by Laszlow Balasz, Steve Novatril and a disappointed Jiri Varadi in 16th place, the reserves Simms and Kozminski were unused.
