  1. I haven't seen any close footage of that incident, it was dark looking from the south end of the grandstand. Unfortunately these incidents happen at times when you have young inexperienced racers who lack no fear. I felt for both riders but more so Reid whose injuries appear much worse. He was showing such great early promise which i'm not surprised at having watched the Aussie Championship Series on BSN. I hope he will be back for you guys sooner rather than later especially as he did not require surgery , and that shows no ill effects physically or to his confidence.
  2. Well done the Monarchs, I thought the Tigers would have had just enough to get over the line today. Sounds like you Tigers were a bit like the Comets yesterday, we only scored 2 points from 6 and 7, the same riders also had 3 of the R/R rides for our injured No2. We only failed to qualify for the Semi's by the fact Berwick have a 2 point better match point aggregate. If not for the dodgy Cookie exclusion reversal by the referee we would be in Semi's not too mention the missing Dan Thompson last night on stand by in Poland or whatever. I'm not bitter though 😃. Its a bit depressing to be out of the KO Cup and BSN already such is the paucity of meetings.
  3. It is frustrating, Comets were generally done to the first corner yet again by the Bears.
  4. He really enjoys the GT Tyres Arena and when in the mood which he has been on every visit so far I would back him to beat anyone in the Championship even if he didn't make it to the first corner in front. Kye Thomsen seems to have stepped up again this season, could also prove an inspired choice.
  5. Not on Saturday he won't. But don't know if any Polish commitments though.
  6. Well done the Bears best team won today, you caught us vulnerable and ruthlessly exposed our frailties. It is notable just how much Jody Scott has progressed since his 4 from 4 for the Bears last season after replacing Tom Spencer in the Bears septet. He has an able ally at reserve in Ace Pijper and it was the 17 points from these two that won the meeting for the Bears. Somewhat surprisingly Jake Allen decided to turn in his best meeting at Northside, same rider only scored 3 points over two meetings for the Scorpions last season, must be the magic Bears race jacket that does it. Nicolai seems to save his absolute best for Northside, his race with Jonas in heat 15 was a bit special. Jonas has impressed with how he treats his racing and just what a fierce competitor he is, an absolutely joy to watch. Real shame we haven't managed to qualify for the semi finals after the hard fought victory at Scunny last night. Special mention to Steve Lawson, great track prep, with a moisture content that facilitated a high standard of racing throughout without any noticeable dust. 👍
  7. We may have struggled to get anyone if this was indeed the rule. I do understand your POV though.
  8. Young Ryan will be up against it. I hope he goes well. Redcar have two of the Championships form reserves.
  9. Guests invariably disappoint , like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.
  10. Cookie reported to have suspected rotator cuff injury. Serious if it is and may possibly be season ending.
  11. Need to ask Andrew, sure something could be arranged to the satisfaction of both parties.😃
  12. Crack the vault open, door will be very stiff I would imagine but I have a big can of GT85 if required 🤣
  13. been cut twice now, got topped again yesterday. You will need to put your name down for your turn on the sit on mower 😃
