topaz325 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well with the weather looking better for this weekend some Speedway looks on the cards at Derwent Park. The Comets take on the Redcar Bears in a PL meeting which sees the return of Workington favourite (Comet on loan!!) Richard Lawson and new Comets recruit Simon Lambert. Should be a good one, best of luck to Simon on his Derwent Park debut in 2014 for the Comets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Looking good for the forecast so it'll be nice to get back and see some action, haven't seen anything since the beginning of the month through one thing and another? Definitely need a bit of a confidence boosting win from this and we should be OK for the three points against Redcar tomorrow, (tho I did say that about Berwick as well ) so not asking for much but, anything above 49 will do for me!!

Watched the meeting via streaming. Another kamikaze move by Fisher on Josh. Won his first ride easily. Hopefully withdrawn as a precautionary measure, and ok for tomorrow.

Shale Searcher Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Was the Ryan & Fish crash the one mid track bend 3/4 that also took out 2 airbags? Had only just tuned in and saw that and then my pc crashed as well, so didn't find out who it was...... Looked nasty, but no intent....

Lord Lucan Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 A moderate performance all round and against pretty much a two man Redcar team was a bit disappointing to say the least, and even more so as they were still in pitching for a point right up til Ht15 when a dodgy engine robbed their best/only pairing of a chance to challenge for a point? I had been half expecting a backlash after last week from the Comets but for some reason that didn't materialise and we were rather fortunate to get away with the full amount? Comets looked well under power tonight especially in the Ht leader dep't with no one really capable of challenging Lawson/Summers, not a good sign? Campton didn't look quick, Morris showed good spirit til bike problems hampered his scoring, Howarth still not where he should be but solid enough, poor meeting from Robbo by his usual standards, Rene looks OK when in front but not much passing when he isn't and a solid enough performance from Lambert, which I'm sure he will improve once he's got acquainted with the track, a little disappointed for him when Wells took the win after shepherding him around for most of the race, (ht12) thought he would have given him that, confidence booster but, there you go!! Wells himself rode OK for his points but does lack that look of a racer!! Looking like a long season, recent averages show up the inconsistency of our team with only Josh showing any real improvement so far, gotta hope the rest are just pacing themselves for the business end, perhaps learning from the hare and the tortoise of yesteryears!! I'll settle for a scruffy win even tho I'm not that impressed by the performance, it's still points on the board and after last week, I'd rather have em than not!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrianDog Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) I see from tonight's scores that Robbo while guesting scored only 5. I hope he did not crash out of the meeting early cos we have too many out injured already. Crossed fingers that he is okay and just had an off night. Thanks to LL I now know he just had a bad day at the office which is a relief. Edited May 31, 2014 by HadrianDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemoc Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Well done to Simon Lambert, poor lad has taken some stick before a wheel had been turned, 6 +2 not a bad start to his Comets career keep it up Simon Edited June 1, 2014 by stemoc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Good win for Worky against a fairly poor Redcar side for whom only Lawson and Summers stood out although Skidmore and Wilko had their moments. Richard Lawson was really on fire and scored an untroubled 18pt paid maximum and the track record for good measure! For the Comets it was a team performance where no one rider proved consistent but all chipped in with points, big well done to Simon Lambert with 6+2 from four rides. Guest for the Comets stuart Robson has had better days and only scored 5 from four rides...... A big test for the Comets comes in two weeks time when Edinburgh are the visitors and with Josh still out injured the Comets will need a good guest in his place.....is Richard Lawson free.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Lambert has only got to score 4 more points for Workington and he's matched the amount of points he's scored all season for Rye House. Amazing what a change of scenery can do. Edited June 1, 2014 by RocketBen1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
