Bagpuss Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Thats a decent point for the Young Stars against very strong and more experienced opposition. Good to see Oliver Rayson in the points Edited April 20, 2011 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) I don't know if I can bring myself to say it.................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... OK, OK. Yes, it was a very good meeting. Not to much racing but most certainly plenty of tension with the closeness of the meeting. Unbelievably awful crash in the second half race at the end. And unbelievable, all 3 walked back to the pits. Amazing Edited April 20, 2011 by screamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 How we never came away with a win i will never know..Yet again though another cracking team performance with a decent result.I would have taken 1 point before the meeting,but feel slightly disapointed that we didn't get the win,when we certainly could have.Good to see a fair few Mildenhall fans there this evening. Brundle-Superb.2 heat15's on the trot now he has pulled something out the bag Baseby-Brilliant again.Certainly suprised me so far Jacobs-Seems really down on power at the moment,needs to get it sorted,as we know what he is capable of Halsey-Solid,unlucky not to get more points Hargreaves-Impressive.So unlucky to get the ef on the last bend when a mile clear Stoneman-Gave it a go.Held Rayson off for a lap Blackbird-Unlucky not to score more.Maybe should have settled for the points he had in a couple,but i can't fault him for giving it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Good to see Oliver Rayson in the points He was messed up by his partner in a few races, I was particularly impressed by his last race pass, he lined up to cut back on the 2nd bend very neatly Knighty did a couple of passes round the very outside on the 2nd bend just like some of our EL boys, watching and learning eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 well done to both teams the meeting was really good.

OK, OK. Yes, it was a very good meeting. Not to much racing but most certainly plenty of tension with the closeness of the meeting. Unbelievably awful crash in the second half race at the end. And unbelievable, all 3 walked back to the pits. Amazing At least you are being honest and calling it as you see it There are quite a few EL or PL fans who wouldn't have the stomach for that. He was messed up by his partner in a few races, I was particularly impressed by his last race pass, he lined up to cut back on the 2nd bend very neatly Knighty did a couple of passes round the very outside on the 2nd bend just like some of our EL boys, watching and learning eh He was a bit low last week so this will have done his confidence a fair bit of good. Looks like that last bend pass was a points saver as well. I am very much looking forward to watching the Fen tigers. Two meetings with one point between the teams simply must be good to see.

mrss Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Excellent night of entertainment. Mallett - Solid, should be a good number 1. Kerr - An indifferent night, had a couple of good performances and a couple of dreadful performances. Rayson - Much improves from last week, and an excellent pass in heat 14. Cockle - Woeful. Should be getting at least double figures at this level. Knight - Once again looked good. Stokes - Very impressed with this young man, looks to have a bright future. For mildenhall, brundle and hargreaves were the best performers, but mention must go to blackbrid who was unlucky to score more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something very positive happening at Mildenhall Speedway at the moment and long may it continue. The promotion and the team seem totally focused and the humour is back on the terraces. After 6 long years of a few ups and many downs, maybe at last we are approaching smoother waters As for James Brundle, the guy has had his doubters, but the two Heat 15's he has ridden to date this season clearly show his commitment to the club, fantastic stuff from the Captain!!

ryankerr Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I have to say the meeting was very enjoyable to watch, all the riders had me on the edge of my seat!I personally think the draw was a fair outcome... I do want to make a couple of comments though... I think a lot of people tend to forget some of these riders are still learning their trade. Some have been riding 3 or 4 years and are still learning! The likes of riders such as Lewis Kerr who has only been riding speedway just over a year and has only competed in one season tend to get some harsh comments on here and trackside which I feel are significantly unjustified. Its a huge learning curve for these lads and these young riders need help, support and advice, not stupid comments and snide remarks. Come on everyone!!

Come on everyone!! i agree with you on you comments.Most people on BSF have probably never a motorbike let alone raced.Speedway is a totally kettle of fish to other M/cycle sport as bikes have no brakes and no gearbox.Young speedway riders have to learn to get good throttle and clutch control without these they will get nowhere.

Too right there is and for any young rider out there from around the area Mildenhall is the place to be isn't it!! Louis, Jolly and Lee were all there at Lynn and helping the boys out in the pits. There isn't another National League team anywhere with that sort of help and advice at riders' fingertips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
