montie Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 A great meeting so credit due to both sets of riders. Some outstanding races today, notably Ryan Douglas's ht7 pass on Wells/Campton and David Howe's heroics in ht15 will live long in the memory. Lawson, Wells and Howarth impressed most for Workington whilst Scunny could point to superb efforts and return to form of both Ash Birks and David Howe. David Howe and heat 15....wow. Agree,You wont see any better passes in speedway than those two Davids ride in ht15 was quite brilliant,stone last out of gate and to get past the very fast Lawson was quite a effort..brilliant to watch Got to say though fair play to the Worky lads for giving it a right go to, on proper race track,felt for Joe Jacobs,little reward for his efforts if Worky ride like that in the run in now they should knock Newcastle out of the play offs and grab the final spot Good to see Birks hit a bit of form,had a rough time of it of late so hopefully hes now turned a corner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I would say it was one of the best meetings I've seen this season yesterday, but actually it was two of the best meetings, as the Scunny Stags meeting was superb as well. Fantastic 30 heats of speedway action - the Eddie Wright Raceway is quite simply the best racetrack in the country. David Howe's ride in Heat 15 was simply awesome. All the best Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebaron Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 What a great meeting v Comets who despite missing riders still made a fist of it. David Howe was absolutely awesome; the speed he had in that bike was something else. He's been tweeting today about 'the rocket' and he was truly Rocket Man in Heat 15. His fearless last to first will live long in the memory. Turn the clock back and in my opinion there's no way David would have held onto that out the turns like he did yesterday with his shoulder injuries. It is a mark of 'howe' good a recovery he has made that he was able to stay with 'the rocket' when it was bucking like a good un out of the final bend lap three to set himself up for a unbelievable switch inside of Richard Lawson taking him to the last to first!. Not happy that we have dropped Matty Orange. Now; I know this was Tom Perry's first outing but in all fairness he certainly was no more on the pace than Matt. I know that Matt has an injury; but not withstanding this; we should have stuck with him. Surely that is the whole premise of what we are about at Scunny - developing racing talent. Matt's had a tough baptism for sure; but the more he rides the more he learns and he will come good. I would have liked to have seen us stick with him; and not replace him with a rider who with all due respects on that showing offers no more and possibly less!. I well remember Steve Wilcock making it into the Bradford team in 1974 and he might have been discarded when he struggled for points. But promoter Alan Knapkin persevered and guess what? Wilco became a National League legend. I see some of the same about Matt if we only keep faith. Bring back Matty Orange ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 never mind carnt please everyone Best bit of the lot was you getting a mouthful from Gail. Seen a few things in my time but never a promoter being put in his place by his Mrs and on the centre green at that. Really !!!! Enjoyed the afternoon in the nice warm sunshine, but how the hell do yous cope with the centre announcer every week , he is absolutely diabolical , thinks he's Peter Kay . Stick to the bingo calling , funerals, wakes, because that was painful listening to you yesterday afternoon Each to his own, but I think he's one of the best............if one of the most biased. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
