speedflash Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi. The meeting starts at 3pm. The weather is going to be good how ever the track has had a lot of rain on it. It will be a bit heavy to start with but it will soon dry out to a good race track. We will be putting some limestone on it in the morrning to help dry it out. The weather man tells me we will have few light showers tonight then dry from midnight. Have had no rain today .Center green is flooded ( not badly) but we will get that off in the morning. See you there. Glyn Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Does anybody know whether Ben Hopwood is fit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ye he had just aggravated the ligaments he pulled not so long ago. He was in some pain but decided to ride today because it's his last chance at the U15's.. Well done for coming 2nd though Ben! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PanthersChamp06 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) Just got back from up north, that was different! Bloody freezing but good racing. Redcar has alot of potential to become a big team, lots of room to expand. Facilities were better than Readings, food was nice aswell. Racing was good. No one was going to get near Joe, Ben or Adam today, Joe was very quick and deserved the title. Well done Bren on getting it going again for the challenge meeting after, you said you got your head back and you prooved it, shame it wasnt in the Under 15's meeting! Special praise to Marc Owen, this boy was bloody quick! On a 250cc clocking times in the 61's was very impressive, he was half a lap ahead at the end of each heat. Perfect style and a great racer, shame he wasnt getting paid, 21 points. Edited October 7, 2006 by PanthersChamp06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Just got back from up north, that was different! Bloody freezing but good racing. I'm getting increasingly worried about deciding to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary with a week's holiday "up North." Sounds like I'd better pack up the thermals, gloves, scarves & a hot water bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) Just got back from the same meeting! Very well done to Joe Haines.A thoroughly deserved winner.Apart from when Ben Hopwood got the better of him in a heat,he was never headed.In the Final,I thought Ben had the run on the inside,going into the 3rd turn,but for some reason,he hesitated,and Joe was gone. Adam Wrathall rode steadily,if not spectacularly for third,with the surprise being George Piper.In his first heat,Meakins broke the tapes,but George got tangled up in them,bucked and reared,and almost got it back in control,only to fall base over apex by the 30 metre mark.Right in front of us.With a few minor repairs,he was on is way again,to finish 4th on the day.It was only after the meeting that I found out from his Dad,Steve,that George had actually twisted the frame,and forks.He rode with them off centre,making it even more remarkable that he rode so well.He was also suffering from double vision and had a screaming headache by the end.No surprise that he withdrew from the Academy meeting that followed. By his own standards,Brendan rode poorly.He won his first race,and then missed the start in his second.Chasing hard after Wrathall and Piper,went for an inside dive on the first turn,and fell in a heap,but not after trying to head butt the safety fence! After walking back to the pits,he sought medical attention,and needed oxygen to clear his head.Advised to miss his other two rides,but cleared to ride in the Academy meeting.Restored some pride by getting 8 pts from his 3 rides. The track was in excellent condition throughout,many congrats to Glyn and his team for that.We were treated to some lively races .Franklin and Greenwood put in some good rides,and you can visibly see that they have both improved since the begining of the season. The whole meeting was well presented,and was a good advert for the future of our sport.Well done to Peter Oakes and his many helpers.There is a long way to go,but this is definitely the way forward. If you get the chance to watch these youngsters,please take it.I am positive you will be very surprised at the standard.The next meeting for these lads,is at Newport next Sunday,which will take the form of a Best Pairs. Once again,Congratulations to Joe Haines,Ben Hopwood,Adam Wrathall and George Piper.Top 4 on the day,and overall. Oh yes,that wind made it very chilly indeed!!

Main Man Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Another superb day's racing from the young lads. I have really enjoyed being part of the Under 15 back up team this year supporting Oaksey with the meetings. The fans , I am sure. appreciate not having any long gaps between the races with the riders always ready to come out and are lined up for the next race as the previous race is on -- I have tried to get them into this routine all year and it has worked. Hopefully this will go with them throughout their speedway careers -- we can but hope!! Congratulations to each and every one of the lads who rode --- and to poor old (or should it be young!!) Kye Norton who bravely tried to but after the parade lap had to seek the paramedics advice on his shoulder injury and wisely withdrew from racing . The poor lad was gutted but it was the sensible thing to do. The lads on the 250's enjoyed their races --all 7 of them!! One last outing for the lads next Sunday at Newport with a Best pairs event ---with a few next year too old(!) to be part of the 2007 under 15 scene and aiming for places in the Conference League ---and that's what's it all about , bringing the kids on , slowly but surely. Well done to Joe Haines on his victory, to Ben Hopwood on his runners-up slot (showing great grit after crashing last Monday in the Under 18's at Wolverhampton) and to Adam Wrathall on his third position. A superb series --one I know I have enjoyed --as have the lads, dads, mums etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope more tracks provide facilities for them next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
