davidba Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 If Craig Saul had said 'he's had to pull out as he's feeling the effects of that first bend crash' i would have felt differently, but when he said ' he was feeeling jaded' it just added to the feeling that no one seemed to care much about proceedings. If i missed such comments, as the backstraight pa wasn't up to much, then i apologise to Lewis if he was injured No reserves though so we had 8 races with only 3 riders, that just sucks!! I did enjoy parts of it though, as i said Jerran and Kyle made it worthwhile. Not sure why i should have eulogised Bowen, he should be expected to make the final in a 10 man field on his own track! A good sized crowd deserved a bit more though, the friends i took only enjoyed the fireworks. Oh well it wont stop me returning next season, but here's hoping the proper 16 man individuals make a fight back in 2010! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stummings Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Sounds like a farce, glad I missed it ..... Fifteen quid for that? What a joke!! Several problems occur I am afraid with individual meetings at Rye House. Firstly a lot of riders don’t want to ride unless they get mega £’s. Len has always said he pays the going rate. Last night a grand for the winner, £800 for second and £600 for third I recon isn’t bad. But lots of pre-madonna’s want guarantee’s as well so I guess that’s why we only have twelve riders. However in saying that I’m sure the likes of Ben Morley and co would have been quite happy to have been a reserve or make up the field to a sixteen rider twenty heats but with the fireworks I assume the time factor comes into it as well. Yes it was an extra quid to get in but that pays for the fireworks and I believe kids where free last night so its swings and rounder bouts really. I have to say most end of season Ace of Herts at Rye have good racing, last night was no exception and for those for whatever reason stayed away, off course it’s their choice, missed in my view a good meeting. I have to mention young Kyle Hughes. His style is cool calm and relaxed. Reminds me a lot of Malcolm Simmons. I hope he rides for Rye next year. As for Mr Rocket 2009, well I guess the local lad deserves to have won, I mean of course Luke Bowen. He had his best season by far and maybe now I would include him in next year’s team. He’s very popular with the fans but stagnation at Rye is something that I fear for this young man. If he wants to progress I believe he should move away to a bigger track, similar to what Josh Auty did his season and I guess the other way round for Joe Haines. Incidentally where was Mr Haines last night, round Shadders place? Roll on 2010 and hope for an injury free season and some silverware!

Bunce Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks for the fast reply Dragonsden, its a shame Chris had to have a visit to the hospital in his last match of the year. Sounds like it wasn't too serious though. Thanks again....Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdilkes Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 if you had seen Lewis i am hurt Bridger standing at the pit gate takign the piss out of people and got his pay packet in his hand you might change your opinion on him got no time for the bloke to be honest Bike damage was also a reason basically he was not quick enough so took his money and ran! I Thought Neath and Sundstroms crash was far worse as was hurrys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Saul did say he was feeling jaded after his heat one crash, even if he didn't what else would he be feeling jaded about? I agree that meeting reserves should have been there, in fact I believe the only Cobra at the meeting was Ben Morley, the only one of the NL side who couldn't have had a ride due to his age! I'm not sure why Kyle and Jerran were your highlighs, Kyle is a good rider and I want him in the Rye side next year, but he scraped through to the final and had a huge chunk of luck with Luke falling there. As for Jerran, in his three races he gated he won, the three he didn't gate, well he came last, highly exciting... As for Luke he was the highlight of the evening, he was clearly not content to just pick up points in his qualifying heats and was racing his hardest, trying different lines to pass EL opposition. In the semi-final he made a jet propelled gate and held off Eddie well. The final was perhaps a step too far, he clearly wanted to win, not just for the grand but because he loves the club. He bust a gut in the final and his fall was mighty unluck and ultimately cost him a possible £800. I agree with you about the 16 man individuals however, watching Edward Kennett and Olly Allen race each other four times last night lacked a little variety and there would have been less three rider races in a 16 man field. All told a decent nights entertainment on a difficult track to round off the season. Edited November 1, 2009 by RocketBen1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenB1 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 What can I say, the stay-a-way fans missed probably the best racing of the season, several superb races. sure it was a shame we had so many 3 rider races, but after heats one, two and ten we could have had a lot more. Heat one, evil crash see http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/hertfordshiremercury-sport/ on monday then you will know why Schrammy and Lewis had to pull out, amazingly Luke carried on with a broken bone in his right hand, he was in a lot of pain. heat two and I thought Paul Hurry had done his shoulder again, nasty spill and Jordan was lucky to get up too. Heat ten, another evil spill on turns 3/4 as Linus hit the back of Chris Neath who was chasing hard, both lucky to get up and walk away. Several good races in the qualifiers, with the big guns not having things all their own way. The semi's and finals were excellent racing too, the final seeing all four riders racing hard before Eddie dived under Luke who lost control trying to cut back. The 88 min dvd of this meeting has just been completed and is well worth watching. - thanks to Pete Hill who can certainly teach Mr Millard a thing or too.

ash Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Haines non appearance was very disappointing and with the Wolverhampton dinner and dance being last night who knows? The heat 1 crash was nasty and best wishes to Schramm after he came in late and withdrew from a very nasty hand injury. Very pleased to see Hughes on the podium as he said he was so unlucky in the NLRC, if hes not a Rocket in 2010 what else does he have to do. Personally thought it was great to see Kennett back to his passing ways at Rye and thought he was the best man on show despite not winning!

"Craig Saul did say he was feeling jaded after his heat one crash, even if he didn't what else would he be feeling jaded about? " Plenty of reasons, tired, bored, hungover, who knows.. jaded doesn't mean injured, sounds from other posts he may have been taking the mickey somewhat! I like watching Lewis ride but he does get himself a bit of a reputation al a Barker doesn't he. "I'm not sure why Kyle and Jerran were your highlighs, Kyle is a good rider and I want him in the Rye side next year, but he scraped through to the final and had a huge chunk of luck with Luke falling there.

Er because they are both still basically very young NL riders doing better on a track that isn't there own than a few riders more experienced or home rider Sundstrom. Yes Kennet best rider on show, Neath and Bowen as expected also looked contenders, but thats hardly a shock at Rye is it! Anyway enough of this i'm past caring, got those post season weather is crap blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossMan Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I also thought that despite the bad crashes the track did well and was better than it has been in months. That must be why Len apologised both before and after the meeting about the condition of the track – it was poor! Clearly the best crowd of the season and if the Promotion let themselves down anywhere it was no meeting reserves I should hope it was the best crowd – the only meeting on and the last one of the season. I do agree that reserves should have been in place and indeed a 16 man format. Craig Saul did say he was feeling jaded after his heat one crash, even if he didn't what else would he be feeling jaded about? The party he was at the night before? I agree that meeting reserves should have been there As for Jerran, in his three races he gated he won Come on Ben – take those rose tinted glasses off - every other rider that gated; won there races. Jerran is still very young in the sport, finished 5th overall and on the way beat Linus Sundstrom twice, Chris Neath twice, Stevie Boxall and Paul Hurry – Not bad for a youngster in only his 2nd year of racing, don’t knock him just because he can gate. As for Luke he was the highlight of the evening Sorry have to disagree – Eddie was by far the best on the night – Luke has improved this year and is a true team man – unlike other Rye riders. All told a decent nights entertainment on a difficult track to round off the season. Passable nights racing for my last fix of the season What can I say, the stay-a-way fans missed probably the best racing of the season, several superb races. Oh dear Ken, I will put this down to you having to stay loyal and of course selling dvd's Haines non appearance was very disappointing and with the Wolverhampton dinner and dance being last night who knows?
