Goshen took the honour of hosting Round 2 of the Eurovets Short Track Grand Prix series, with riders battling it out in extremely dry, warm, and dusty track conditions.

The dry conditions tested everyone, with a few slips that certainly kept the racing exciting. A few riders were also caught moving a touch early whilst under starters orders too. In Heat 15, Lee Warhurst was docked a point for moving on the tapes, and a similar fate befell Craig Marchant in Heat 16.

Despite that tape penalty, Marchant was in imperious form, winning every single one of his qualifying heats. His only defeat of the day came in the Over 50s final after a slide on lap two allowed Mark Winwood through for the win.

Winwood put in a stellar shift all afternoon, dropping points only to Marchant and a flying Nicky Davies in the heats. Steve Paver was another rider who looked sharp and on the pace from his very first gate.
