Will anyone reply to this topic?

 

Just to spare your blushes

 

Sadly, I won't be there. I say 'sadly' because last Thursday's match was terrific entertainment and up there with anything I have seen this season and I don't anticipate such racing tonight at Belle Vue (if its on).

 

I shudder to think what the gate will be, however. There was only a very small crowd on Thursday, it was bank holiday week and Dudley brought about 100.

 

The quality of the speedway and the sheer persistence of this little club deserve better.

A response, remarkable

 

I've not been yet (shockingly) so have no idea on crowds. Updates can be found here.

Heat 02: Hazelden, Hill, Resch, Stokes, 3-3, 7-5, 72.5

Line Up: John Resch, Tom Hill, Tom Stokes, Shane Hazelden

Comments: Hazelden this time gates, but Stokes is left well behind. Very tight at the front, Hill passing Hazelden on the 1st bend, lap 2, only to go too deep, and for Hazelden to retake the lead. Hill never gave up, but ran out of laps, Resch in third.

Heat 04: Simmons, Jacobs, Hill, Hazelden, 4-2, 16-8, 69.8

Line Up: Nick Simmons, Tom Hill, Joe Jacobs, Shane Hazelden

Comments: Jacobs got away well, but Simmons had the outside line, and took and easy lead down the back straight. Hill quickly onto Jacobs, but the former Mildenhall man too quick for him. Hazelden pottered around at the rear.

Heat 05: Smethills, Warwick, Hughes, 5-1, 21-9, 71.6

Line Up: Danny Warwick, Lee Smethills, Kyle Hughes, Lee Strudwick R/R - David Mason

Comments: IoW away well, with Hughes doing a wall of death around bend 2! He then started to pressure Warwick, with Smethills looking like he might be slowing them both down, but IoW held on for a 5-1. Mason retired when last.

Line Up: Nick Simmons, John Resch, David Mason, Marc Owen

Heat 08: JACOBS, Hill, Hazelden, 2-7, 31-20, 70.5

Line Up: Dean Felton, Tom Hill, Lee Strudwick R/R - JOE JACOBS, Shane Hazelden

Comments: Joe Jacobs taking a Tactical Ride on his Rider Replacement.

Jacobs with a sluggish start, but Hazelden did well initially to slow up the IoW so Jacobs could hit the front, but Hill got past Hazelden into 2nd. Felton struggling at back with visibility problems maybe? Felton retired.

Heat 09: Warwick, Smethills, Jacobs, Stokes, 5-1, 36-21, 72.2

Line Up: Danny Warwick, Lee Smethills, Joe Jacobs, Tom Stokes

Comments: A nervous twitch by Warwick does him no harm, as he takes the lead, able-y assisted by Smethills at the front, these two looking like they enjoy each others company! Jacobs trying hard, but he must be cream-crackered!

Heat 10: Starke, Felton, Owen, 5-1, 41-22, 71.4

Line Up: Paul Starke, Dean Felton, David Mason Tom Stokes, Marc Owen

Comments: Tom Stokes taking a reserve ride for David Mason...

Starke with soo much drive from the tapes to lead an IoW 5-1, with Stokes falling off between bends 3 and 4. From gate.

Heat 11: Re-Run: Simmons, HUGHES, Resch, 4-4, 45-26, 70.1

Line Up: Nick Simmons, John Resch, KYLE HUGHES, Lee Strudwick R/R - Shane Hazelden

Comments: Kyle Hughes on a Tactical Ride.

Very interesting first bend, firstly as Simmons and Hughes had a ding dong battle for 1st place, Simmons immediately heading for the dirt and getting his nose in front along the back straight, before losing the initiative going into the 3rd bend. Meanwhile, Resch picked up some good drive off the 2nd bend to go under Hazelden, which took him by surprise and led to him meeting the fence!

Hazelden stayed down, but was excluded from the re-run, before getting gingerly to his feet and walking back to the pits.

On the warm down lap, Hughes bike made some funny noises going into the first bend, and almost caused him to go into the fence as well!

Re-Run: Simmons with a smart first bend, just edging ahead of Hughes, and leaning heavily to stop his run up the inside. From gate.

David Mason withdrawn feeling unwell.

 

Heat 12: Hill, Warwick, Hazelden, 5-1, 50-27, 73.1

Line Up: Danny Warwick, Tom Hill, David Mason Shane Hazelden, Tom Stokes

Comments: Shane Hazelden in for David Mason.

It's like shelling pea's at the tapes for the islanders, scorching away for a tapes to flag 5-1. Hazelden slowed on bend 1, lap 4, and when Stokes got near him, he reared off, leaving Stokes to fall over and look very unhappy and embarrassed! Stokes retired.

Apparently the Rye riders saw some brakelights in the car park, which caused them to slow. Not sure, think Hazelden wanted his point and sped off when Stokes tried to go past!

Comments: Isle of Wight taking gates 1 & 3.

Starke and Simmons gate, and although Jacobs briefly challenged Starke at the end of the first lap, the I.o.W. held out for the win, to record their biggest win of the season.

All in all this was very one sided, Only Shane and Jo really riding to their full potential, the rest sadly were not at the races.

For the Islanders, it was a bumper pay day and three very comfortable points.
