  1. basso was meant to be in 15 with tom but had severe arm pump with the rough track and was struggling to hold on for his last few laps in ht 14 they tried to massage his fore arms and wrists but they were solid and his fingers were locked danyon was confident and asked for it and had been riding well all night and there we have it
  2. sad to hear but who has bought it as pretty sure the last planning application was knocked back dew to lack of infrastructure and schools doctors ect in the area and the last i heard it was a wealthy fan who was buying it but if it’s not who is it ?will they give them a few more years there ?
  3. yes defo but the problem with that is it always seems to help the away team more than the home team i can remember a good few 50/50 weather meetings and when they went ahead glasgow struggled in every one
  4. think with RR last night we would have lost justin did a decent job covering for tom unfortunately his favourite engine siezed in ht 1
  5. there’s a big home track advantage there knowing where to ride also helps and with it having stock cars there’s usually soft patches where the holes have been filled in with the cars if it’s been wet a few days before on the track around the entry into first and third bends that’s usually covered over so you can’t see them and can straighten the bike up if not going fast enough there unless you really attack the track your coming off must be more falls there than any track in nl
  6. ht 11 fall was caused by riders entering the first bend together trying to avoid the concrete rut on the inside which was about 1.5/2 mtrs from the inside line and ran from just before mid corner to the exit hence why they ended up bursting the air bag right at the pit gate ,Glasgow did complain at ht8 after the same thing happened at the start and wanted some work done on the corner they did grade what shale there was into the rut but by the time ht 11 it was beyond filling and was really exposed if the concrete was smooth i don’t think it would have bothered riders much but the rut was about 40/50mm deep in some of it
  7. Glasgow complained after ht8 when the concrete rut appeared and after the crash in ht 11 the referee was called to look at the track and asked the 2 captains who both said it was pretty dangerous the Glasgow rider crashed because they were trying to avoid the concrete line mid corner as the concrete slab ran from mid corner right round till the start of the straight basically the racing line that every rider aims for
  8. after ht 11 but the Glasgow manager and riders complained after ht 8 when it started to show
  9. no wonder was the total opposite he came into the pits after the race walked over to wright and had a quiet word then went and sat in his chair at the side of the pits
  10. he was carrying too much speed and went into the side of starky and knocked him off he even came round after the race and said that to paul
  11. kyle has all his own equipment over there
  12. Broc has put so much time money effort into everything this year his fitness, diet ,equipment even moved closer north to cut down the travelling and has been up practicing midweek to try keep him sharp dew to only riding one league here i think ,sometimes when your trying too hard to get things right you go backwards he just needs to go back to basics and try to get a few good race meetings and pretty sure he will come good . It was pretty crap that a couple of fans gave his some stick after the monarchs match because that won’t help him
  13. Ulrich has new engine arriving this morning should hopefully be well on the pace if he can get it dailed in quickly tigers by 2
  14. Most of the private companies are now contracted to the nhs and most clubs that have 2 ambulances actually bought their own second hand one but still have to have enough medical staff to cover if one has to take a rider away and with medical staff at a shortage all over the country all clubs will struggle
  15. he will be riding in Denmark on a wednesday
  16. even if there’s no #1s out there get 2 decent riders that might score 8/10/12 points at home between them just off the top of my head say Palavora and sedgmen that would put wright to reserve with complin and would always have a strong reserve when ave changes strength in depth
  17. he must have been watching pickering do it in the main meeting great rider has big dog danglers to try pass that outside line another wrecked bike think that’s 3 in his first 4 meetings shame on his pocket but was sitting up in the pits after and was walking gingerly after the meeting
  18. Just read that Theo piper has a bad crash at the grass track at the weekend and might be struggling to be fit
  19. killeen will be good and won’t be at reserve for long i have seen him practice a couple times (his brother Luke is pretty good also can see him getting a team spot soon if equipment there ) , Sam hagon struggled in his first 2 rides last night then changed bikes different rider after, chargers and bullets will both be in the play offs as long as no major injuries or number 1s riders getting a premier spot as there no good heat leaders left
