To take nearly a second off a track record really takes some doing. Well done Steady -

[cometsfan2k4]

What an absolute awesome meeting. Steady was pure class, he looked quick, but, my god, I dont think anyone expected he would have got a time like that. Well done Steady. Kake I thought was the other stand out man tonight, he rode superbly, and to beat Wrightly twice was awesome. But the rider of the night for me was the great Dane, Kenneth Hansen. DRURY, SIGN THIS KID UP. He was awesome considering it was his first ever ride on the track. Great night, thanks to all the riders.

[DiamondsRock]

Well done to pepe who came 4th!

[wrighto]

Kenneth enjoyed his British debut last night, please say hello if you see him around the tracks as he gets used to the UK. To find out more about him here is a link to his British website Kenneth Hansen

Steady was pure class, he looked quick, but, my god, I dont think anyone expected he would have got a time like that. Well done Steady.

 

yes well done steady.

But the rider of the night for me was the great Dane, Kenneth Hansen. DRURY, SIGN THIS KID UP. He was awesome considering it was his first ever ride on the track.

 

I 2 was well impressed with him .. for his first time on a british track he got to grips well .. i hope hes signed for Workington next year....

Courteys of Speedway Updates

 

Also the reason why Danny King pulled out as posted by Team King on the Updates site " Hi all

 

Just spoken to Danny King and reason for withdrawing from the meeting is illness. He has been suffering with some sort of virus the past few weeks and although he felt fine during the day once he began riding the sickness seemed to come out making him feel very weak, dizzy as well as sick. Therefore for safety for himself and others he withdrew. Sorry for the confusion and I assume people were not told the reason over the mic, so hope this clears everything up!!

 

Thanks

 

Team King "

 

Fingers crossed he gets well soon, Ippo needs him this week!

[scousedave]

Yeah Simon was very impressive last night, he did well to shatter his own track record.

[roo]

Stead must have been sh*t hot.

 

Although it wouldn't surprise me if they fiddled the stopclock just so a big fuss would be made over Steady breaking the record on his return.

 

TBH I've seen track records broken before when the rider in question looks painfully slow.

 

Well done Steady nonetheless.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It was no surprise whatsoever that Simon broke the track record, he was absolutely flying! In fact he now own's the 3 fastest times round DP (63.2,64.0 and 64.1)
