Woz01 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Mick Horton will join Chris Harris and do the ice bucket challenge after the meeting. I'm sure a few on here would like to tip ice water over Mick. £1 for a raffle ticket and money raised goes to Zoes Place charity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remembertheracers Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Take out the guests and double up riders and this says everything about EL speedway in 2014 - a farce. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedybee Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well, that was a dust bowl of a meeting... Bees lucky to get all the points ..now what with Barker.? Surely a broken collar bone... just time to give my ipad a Down and straight off to Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 That was a hard meeting. Was hard to see the riders at times due to the dust. Was more suited to Leicester style and date and go. Now that Barker is injured and only a 5pt average, Bees are going to be left with just 2 heat leaders which is gonna make the task from now on really hard. I was really impressed with stead, why was he not in heat 15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbo Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 An entertaining afternoon meeting, 3 League points gained. Following my rants about losing the last five heats in last Frida's Storm meeting after a Curfew (didn't know we had one, Mr Horton told me it was 10pm). We have a double header against Eastbourne in a couple of week's time. The time listed for the start us 7pm (same as the Storm meeting). Today's meeting took 2hours 10 minutes. Double that with the Elite double header and it equates to 4hours 10 minutes. Unless my mathematics have totally deserted me it means the completion of the double header would be 11.20pm can somebody please explain how it's hoped to be done. I know there were crashes today, races were expedited, there were no air bags that had to be replaced. Speedway has always been a sport where. crashes happen so every meeting is into the unknown. Over to you Mr Starter I will be interested to see how the double header can be completed before 10pm I.e.3 hours. My calculations are also based on first and second meeting carrying on without an interval between the two meetings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Think it was a couple of seasons ago, I was at Brandon till around 1130pm for a meeting, cant remember what, but least you don't have a curfew, which helps. We manage to do 2 meetings in under 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P T Preece Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Enjoyed that so much better than the meeting against Swindow a few week ago. Shame about Ben he was looking good as well, terrible crash really came down hard. A bit of a dust bowl, they watered late on which was a bit odd as they watered the bit the riders didnt use, very strange, they should have done it at the interval. There was some good racing, Harris,Masters and Stead the stand out men, Kylmakorpi terrible guest why they put him in heat 15 Ill never know and Hansen in heat 14 should have given Newman a go.

arnieg Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I was really impressed with stead, why was he not in heat 15? Me too. According to Norrie it was because he didn't beat any one of note!!! Heat 1???????? Edited September 1, 2014 by arnieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ruddy hell Kyle - steady on son!"!!! Good job he rode at Leicester as well, as it appears none of the rest of the Bees turned up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observer Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Astonishing rider selection in Heat 15, cannot for the life of me understand the logic. Allan gifted the points to the Bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 What some hard luck for Barker. In his completed three rides he was already ahead of the average of the rider he was replacing. He clearly came back with intent. Not bad for someone who was supposed to make Coventry weaker, and give them no chance of winning the league. Of course, things have really changed now he's injured.
