Shortcrust Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I've tasted it now, bring back the EL to the Norfolk Arena And I have to say, I'm starting to think I'd like to see exactly the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I recorded the final if anyone wants to see it again! Pride of the East Final 49 seconds in, Watt dived under Troy and i thought Troy was going to come off ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Kev made the gate at least, not often that gate 3 on a track works well in the 20th heat of a meeting eh! He sounded, when interviewed afterwards, as though he enjoyed racing in that heat as much as we did watching it! There was some great action there last night between some good riders, I think we've gotta go up again ................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Oh yes, proper speedway last night! EL is a must for next year and beyond IMO. And if Davey watt became available he would be the first name on my team sheet. Lots of great racing after a pretty ordinary start, the final probably being the pick although Tai's ride in heat 19 was rather special too. Great to see a bunch of riders doing the track justice for once. Great performance from Darcy, if he doesn't have the same kind of impact next year that Noddy and Tai had in their maiden PL seasons I will be surprised. They way he blasted away from Schlein and Allen and actually pulled away over the four laps was astonishing. Superb signing. All in all a great night (good fireworks too!)

Shining Star Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I Agree Elite League Back To King's Lynn For 2009 Please... Last night was simply awesome from everyone... even the people having bike problems were still giving it their all. The racing last night was well worth paying to see IMO. I liked the fireworks too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fever Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yes, a cracker last night with some great racing and Davey Watt a deserved winner after a terrific battle in the Grand Final. Not really a fan of these one-off 'grand finals' though - thats two years running now that a Lynn rider has top scored in the 20 heats only to lose out! As has been said the quality of the racing proved that Lynn is an EL track and I'd certainly be happy to see more of the same next year - and Davey Watt would be a welcome returnee After Darcy Ward's excellent showing though must admit I'd be equally as happy watching him in the PL next year (having said that he had the beating of several EL riders last night so wouldn't necessarily be out of his depth in the EL). Hopefully though the leagues will be revamped such that next year's PL will be somewhere in-between standard-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean blyth Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) thought darcy was good but didn`t think he would do that well, really happy we got him in next year the top three were by far the best riders on show Edited September 25, 2008 by sean b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean blyth Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Well, that was THE best meeting at the Norfolk Arena this season without dout. All most every heat was closely raced with some absolutely breathtaking overtaking. What I will have to admit to though is how much last nights meeting has proved that the PL does our club / track no justice at all. Not one rider was backing out last night. (can't believe I'm about to say this) James Brundle even looked better and faster than I've ever seen him round our track and was even riding the boards . Even if we went into the EL with only a half decent side we'd surely see more of that kind of racing than we do now with about 8 heats of 5-1's. I've tasted it now, bring back the EL to the Norfolk Arena definately got to go up but after next year then riders like jlo and darcy wil be ready brundle would be a good signing on a 5 next year especially after he has ridden elite league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Great performance from Darcy, if he doesn't have the same kind of impact next year that Noddy and Tai had in their maiden PL seasons I will be surprised. They way he blasted away from Schlein and Allen and actually pulled away over the four laps was astonishing. Superb signing. Is he that good ? Will he come in on a 3.00 or a 5.00 average ? Either way you could have got yourselves an exciting young talent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crikeythatsfast Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Isn't Darcy Ward only about 17? What a rider he looks! I think he's 16, might be wrong though, but he won the Queensland under 16 championship in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Is he that good ? Will he come in on a 3.00 or a 5.00 average ? Either way you could have got yourselves an exciting young talent . Would imagine he wil be on 5. Capable of putting at least 2 points onto that all being well. For 16 years old he is very, very good. However as hard as it is us Lynn fans need to keep our feet on the ground. We need to let him develop at his own pace and not heap pressure on the boy.

whowasthatberntpersson Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) 16 i believe He is 16, and straight off 125 and 350cc speedway in OZ. Won the last three Queensland Under 16 (125cc) championships and was top scorer in the Australian 350 Championship but got excluded in the final.
