Pirate Nick Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Should be quite close with evenly matched teams. Will be down to watch Mr Newman fill his boots (hopefully), while he probably turns more of my hair grey with his exploits on the 1st and 2nd bend!!

jules m Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Weather is delightful :-) And master Newman was responsible for my grey hairs too, wonder if we could claim compensation from him. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Never any doubt about who was going to win this meeting.Just a few observations. Ht1,Kurtz was well ahead,when his bike slowed,or was it forgetting to turn the fuel on? Bekker slipped by for the win. Ht3 Jones and Atkin touched handlebars after Jones got out of shape going into turn 3. Ht4 Newman with a sublime win,coming from 4th to 1st.The only time he led was in the run up from the pits to the line,pipping Cockle.Fantastic ride. Ht6 Newman again from the back and stalking Bekker,lined him up only to have a puncture.Very lucky to finish,let alone remain in 2nd place. Ht9 Hornets on an easy 5-1 coming down back straight,when Kyle lifted wildly.Quite how he didnt crash,I honestly dont know.He certainly scraped the boards on 3rd turn.We were all patting our chests with relief.On the wind down lap,so was he! Ht10 saw a nasty collision with Bekker(on double pts) and Atkin on the 1st turn.Early reports suggested a broken collarbone for Byron.Sincere Best Wishes for a speedy recovery.He has been superb for the 'Cats all season.He will be missed. Ht15 was controversial to say the least.As the riders left the tapes,the red lights came on for a split second,before being switched off again.Anyone else notice this? Then Brown fell on 3rd turn,while 4th,retired on 1st lap.Then Newman was unceremoniously dumped into the 3rd turn fence by Cockle.I dont think anyone expected Kyle to be excluded.Except the referee,Dale Entwwistle,that is.Absolutely crazy decision. Never mind Kyle,you are going places within speedway where Cockle can only dream of. By now it was after the 9.30 deadline.We all expected it to be declared as 37-49.I know Phil Bartlett was told of the time,but he seemingly ignored it.So at just after 9.35pm,we had a meaningless match race! Jules,be thankful you didnt go.A warehouse full of Grecian 2000 wouldnt have saved you tonight! Scorers. Weymouth Bekker 3,3,inj = 6 Halsey 1,0,1',2 = 4+1 Brown 3,2,0,1',fx = 6+1 Mason 0,0,1' = 1+1 Cockle 2,2,4,1',2 = 11+1 Andrews 1,0,0,2 = 3 Cottham 0,1',2,1,0,2,2 = 8+1 Newport Kurtz 2,3,3,3,3 = 14 Priest 0,1,3,1 = 5 Jones 2,1,3,3 = 9 Atkin 1',3,1,3 = 8+1 Newman 3,2,2',0,fx = 7+1 White-Williams 3,1',3,0 - 7+1 Young 2',0,0,fx = 2+1 Some lively action with a good win for the Hornets.

Bob, girls don't use grecian 2000 lol its bad enough watching the updates and listening out the window i can imagine what Kyles doing without acutally being there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Wanderer Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 A meeting of incident rather than racing but Kyle Newman's breathtaking last bend swoop to win heat 4 more than made up for some of the more processional races. Never much doubt about the result with Newport each being stronger than their opposite number pretty much throughout the 1 to 7. Todd Kurtz was outstanding again and Tom Young continues to get better and better. Good gathering of Newport fans on 3/4 bends made for a good atmosphere too. Huge shame about Byron Bekker's injury. He has been a pleasure to watch and without him Weymouth's season would have been even more dismal. Don't like to think it but without him and with the National Trophy getting into swing now, Wildcats could end up with a double wooden spoon season. I didn't see the heat 15 incident (honest!) but everyone I spoke to (mainly Weymouth fans on the 4th bend) was adamant that the ref excluded the wrong guy.

rockcat Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Great lack of dirt on the track,there was a blue line after 4 heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockcat Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Heat 15, definately the wrong rider excluded, Kyle was or the racing line minding his own business when James Cockle dived under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely got the wrong guy, but it was a racing incident rather than dirty or dangerous as some thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly92 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 A big well done to the hornets last night! Top of the table again, was good to hear tom young is back on the bike after his accident the other week. Best wishes to Byron Bekker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
