MILDENHALL: NL PAIRS LINE-UPS CONFIRMED

 

Monday June 17, 2013 With now less than a fortnight to go until the first big event in the National League calendar, The National League Pairs, Mildenhall Speedway are pleased to announce the pairings for this prestigious event.

 

Group A –

Kings Lynn Young Stars – Darren Mallett and Lewis Rose

Dudley Heathens – Ashley Morris and Lewis Blackbird

Isle of Wight Islanders – Tom Perry and Ben Hopwood

Stoke Potters – Lee Smart and Luke Priest

 

Group B –

Kent Kings – Steve Boxall and Ben Morley

Coventry Storm – Robert Branford and James Sarjeant

Mildenhall Fen Tigers – Stefan Nielsen and Dan Halsey

Buxton Hitmen – Charles Wright and Adam McKinna

 

The Fen Tigers will be looking to defend the trophy that pairing Cameron Heeps and Lewis Blackbird won last season, but in a very open field picking a winner will be no easy task. Blackbird will be representing his new team, The Dudley Heathens, this time around whilst Charles Wright and Robert Branford (runners up with Buxton in 2012) will both be competing.

The meeting will take place on Sunday 30th June at the normal start time of 4.30pm, normal admission prices apply of £12.00 Adults, Concessions (over 60) and Students £11.00, Juniors (15 and under) Free. A special commemorative programme will be produced for £2.00.

Hmm, I can see Dudley taking Group A, mainly b,cuz the remainder of the Group do not have 2 riders scoring consistently, or not in there best form. Group B looks to me likely to be Mildenhall & Coventry, from those three I couldn't really pick out the eventual winners, but if I had to I would choose Dudley, mainly because of Lewis,s track knowledge, Ash Morris will back him up solidly, and I don't know how Dan Halsey or James Sarjeant are going to perform on the day, Stefan and Robert will both go well b,cuz they can gate. Good luck to all the riders.

Cracking meeting on a well prepared track. Well done Dudley.

 

Fish and Chips were awesome. Always are!

 

What was the ref playing at? On 2 occasions he was very slow to stop races when riders had fallen.

 

The second time he was so slow that one of the 3 remaining riders (Boxall) had to lay his bike down a lap later to avoid Smart. Smart took no further part in the meeting - not sure if he was injured or if his bike was wrecked by Boxall's bike hitting Smart's.

 

The incident happened on lap 2 in the middle of bends 1and 2 the red lights didn't go on until Boxall was going, at speed in to the 1st bend on lap 3! Bl**** Dangerous!!!!!! Ref should be banned or undertake additional training!

Boxall was head and shoulders above the others unfortunately he didn't get the backing from his team mate. That said his team mate was there or there abouts and looked good to getter better as the meeting progressed.

Entertaining meeting (falls aside) on a difficult to work on track which dried out as soon as water was put down. Some great rides, especially Dan Halsey's heat 12 effort against the Coventry pairing and well ridden Luke Priest in heat 18 - I doubt many saw that win coming against the home club pairing. Keep serving up entertainment like that and you'll have at least two more regulars at West Row - not that this was our fist time this year though.

According to the programme, Craig Ackroyd was the referee. Had he made it back from Copenhagen or was there a guest in his place?

Is he a local , sounded dodgy he re ran heat 12 when a decleration would have put the home team out but declared the race a cpl of heats earlier.

Perhaps a change of venue is needed.

Behave..Both should have been re-run imo..Can't award a race after 2 laps..Why he did that for the 1st 1 I've no idea..

15.5.2 If the Referee stops a Race and the leading Rider has completed a minimum of 2 laps of

the Heat, then the Referee has the sole discretion to order a re-run or award the Heat based

upon the Rider’s positions when the Heat was caused to be stopped, with the disqualified

Rider being awarded no points and Riders behind in the order being advanced one place.
