Okay. So when Mark Loram won the World Championship whilst riding for Poole he was just representing himself. Strange that Lisa thought differently in her post yesterday. :wink:

 

Edited to put the quote in because the page has turned over.

 

He was riding for poole, but he wasn't representing poole in the WC.

 

She quickly changed her mind regarding Joe Screen too :P

 

Did i? :unsure:

The World Championship/ GP's are individual not for the club, although Mark won the WC when riding for Poole he still won it for himself. Lisa is right.

A very enjoyable day out. I thought the racing was good and a very sensible idea to keep the track devoid of water.

Decent crowd, I expected to see a few more on a bright and very crisp day though!

 

The meeting was pushed through at a sensible pace and the riders were committed and although I didn't particularly like the guy, hats off to young Benji.

 

My only gripe about Poole is the bloke who did the annoucing, so boring and bland. Jeeze all this "I believe he has 7 points" stuff, so mundane.

This is not said enough! :wink:

 

 

Can anyone help me please?

 

One reserve was Karl Mason at Poole yesterday (no. 17); does anyone know who the other (no. 18) reserve was?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!!

 

Pretty sure it was Brendan Johnson

So the question is had the water pipes really frozen or was Mr Ford saving some dosh? :P

God it was dusty, i half expected Ted Rogers & his sidekick to tap me on the shoulder. :D

 

 

 

So, Congratulations to COVENTRY BEES BEN BARKER :approve:

That's the 1st trophy done & dusted :wink:

Granted all the comments about track prep particularly from Starman & Jay but it was said tongue in cheek.

Lisa dear, have you not noticed the wink after my comment there.

You really do need to calm down.

I reckon you're just peeved i beat ya at Word twist :lol:

Did you not notice the wink after mine! I was joking! Obviously not a lot of sense of humour in the midlands! :lol:

Yes it was cold, yes it was dusty ( no fault of Poole) and yes it was a long drive home but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting. Skorniki did look untouchable in the heats but a classy final bend from Ben Barker in the final was the climax of some exciting racing.

 

Great to get a methanol fix so early. The only negative for me was the £3 for the programme.

 

Good Post. Agree completely :approve:

Not much to add to other postings. A very, very good meeting indeed with plenty of passing and lots of commitment from the riders. Skornicki the moral victor (I do hate these post-20 heat finals) but, as he remarked afterwards, the rules were there from the beginning.

Barker rode very well and if he can retain the fire while smoothing out a few of the edges then Coventry have much to look forward to this season.

By way of explanation on Klindt he had carburettor problems before the start (kudos to Mads Korneliussen for his help, advice, loan of a carb and for generally looking pretty cool in his Swindon Town scarf) and had to miss the practice. Then he ploughed into the tapes on his first ride, so was basically one heat and two laps adrift in his track knowledge and struggled early on. Picked up with a second and a win in his last two outings.
