The White Knight Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I attended the Newcastle/Scunthorpe Meeting this evening. I have never seen a Meeting with so much incident. 15 Heats of Racing featuring ELEVEN re-starts. 2 x 5-0 in one Meeting. 2 x Awarded Races. I can't remember seeing anything like that before. Are any of the above a Record. AND: That is without mentioning handbags between Auty and Rose, Jorgensen stupidly parking his Bike in the middle of the Track causing danger to the other participants in the Race. I thought the Referee was inconsistent too - in one case he allowed all three (3) Riders back in the Race when one Rider, Douglas seemed to put the Bike down himself at the First Bend when in Third place. An altogether interesting and exciting Meeting - but - it must have been one of the coldest Meetings I have ever attended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryW Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no, none of those are a record... Do I win anything if I am right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommer Mon Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 From memory ...........most Dudley Wolves Trophy meetings would have been right up there especially 1989 when we lost and Jan O ended up in hospital with Erik going on the tannoy to calm both the riders and fans down and then telling the Heathens to get on wiith it!! We lost by 1 point on aggregate and I'm still not sure how! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 The infamous 2005 National League Pairs at Wimbledon took over 4 hours to compete. I dread to think how many re-runs that meeting contained. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
