builderbob Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 thanks for info, never seen 16laper before but often thought i would like to go, sounds like i should make it a priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I think it would make sense if they could hold off the re-staging of the 16 lapper until the half term holiday (the Thursday would be 26th) as this would attract a good number of families and bolster numbers for a true end of season finale. Just a thought, probably not practical though. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Yeah good idea Pete although not for me. Going away on the Thursday to drop the kids in Great Yarmouth with my parents so I can go to the end of season dinner dance on the Friday night.

Anyone know the revised lineup for this or is it the same as the original field, announced last week?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi TC - the lineup for this should be as last week with the exception of Holder who is unavailable. And yes, it IS definately this Thursday. I'm surprised it wasn't announced as such sooner actually as it was almost definate last Thursday that it would be then! Pete - the half term idea woulod probably have been one that the promotion would have liked had it not been so late in the month.....they're keen to allow some time for it to be re-run if the rain should intervene though, and the 26th wouldn't have given them that comfort zone!

tomcat Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks Robyn... now to pick me a couple of riders to put my usual hoodoo on...everytime I back someone or a team to win, they lose...except Peterborough in the Playoff Final...that one went wrong!!

Aries Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Cheers for the info Captaingeesh..... So its off to the updates for me Thursday then. Anyone know the revised lineup for this or is it the same as the original field, announced last week?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As Robyn said TC its the same line up as last week except for Holder who is set to be replaced by a young American star of the future! With this lad (unamed so far) and 16 year old Dane Mikael Nielsen, it seems the witches are using the event to run the rule over a couple of highly rated youngsters which is good to see. I always look forward to this event, but i'm even more looking forward to seeing how these 2 youngsters get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMungo Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Don't know any Danish riders of that name.Only Nielsens are 80cc riders,i think. Maybe Mattias Nilsson from Sweden? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do know of Michael Bach Nielsen. Last time I saw him ride in the 90s though, so he's definitely no youngster. Not even sure if he's still riding either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Possibly no Loram tonight, has a neck injury Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 What??? How?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 The young American lad won't be riding either, his flight from America was delayed. And the young dane is 16 year old Mikael Nielsen who was recommended by John Jorgensen. He IS riding tonight. Nielsen i mean, not Jorgensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 What??? How?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did someone spill the beans about there being 8 riders in the last heat? Hope the injury is not serious btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentaghost Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Did someone spill the beans about there being 8 riders in the last heat? Hope the injury is not serious btw! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 4 on the fron't grid, 4 on the back. The sight of 8 riders roaring to the first bend is a sight every speedway fan must witness at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) Possibly no Loram tonight, has a neck injury Karl <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Apparently Mark has trapped a muscle from an old injury!

Bridger ef (lap 11) 4m 6.1 sec taking into account points etc and after being totally baffled by Sue's texts! Winner is Adam Shields as started off back grid. Comments: Heat 1: to be rerun - all 4 back - starting gate malfunction Heat 2: Robert made two passes. First one on 1st lap back straight to take 2nd place and then 3rd lap, 3rd bend pass on inside of Lanham to take 1st. Heat 3: Watt's bike failed at start. Bridger looked very good and smooth. Heat 5: Misko won buy a mile (think Sue exagerated there!) Heat 6: Extra time being allowed for Adam's bike! Seriously though, Davey borrowed it in Heat 5, so just getting refuelled etc! Don't you just love these Aussies? Helping each other out Heat 6: Shields wins by a mile (think she is at it again!!) Heat 7: Good battle between the two Ipswich boys. Heat 9: Watt coming out on Shields second bike! Heat 9: Hmmmm! cannot help but think Adam's 2nd bike should be his 1st! (atleast for that race) Heat 10: Good pass by Kroner at start of lap 3. Heat 11: Misko by a mile (there she goes again!) Heat 12: Jansson lost it on 3rd/4th bend of 1st lap. Con Fin: From the gate Final: Good battle between Shields and Misko for a few laps before Misko started dropping back. Note: In the final, riders going off the back grid have 2 points added! Points in final are awarded as follows: 1st 14 points......2nd 12 points.........3rd 10 points 4th 8 points..........5th 6 points...........6th 4 points 7th 2 points.........8th 0 points Courtesy of Speedway Updates and a very cold Sue!!!

clutchplate Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Just to answer a few questions about fuel tanks etc. Some riders opt for the 'take a chance' fill the tank to the brim tactics. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We just fitted a standard longtrack tank replacing the normal Speedway tank after the qualifying heats. After 16 laps (18 including the push off and slow down) there was still plenty of fuel left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
