Scott1412 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Rather than an individual event the meeting will now see the 2015 Vortex Hammers taking on a specially selected Lee’s All Stars lineup headed by the 2014 Hammers Captain Davey Watt and regular Hammers guests Rory Schlein and Scott Nicholls. The event will begin at 7pm with a National League Pairs mini meeting in which Marc Owen and Jack Kingston will represent the Hammers. Fans who book their tickets online will be able to watch part of this meeting from the Centre Green, a position normally only open to officials and VIP sponsors. The Main meeting will start at 8pm with the Hagon Shocks kids taking to the track before Heats 1, 6 and 11, and pits viewing will be open all night for fans to get a behind the scenes look at the off track action. Heat 15 of the main meeting will see the winner take home the Rico Trophy. The Vortex Hammers Co Promoter Jon Cook commented: “We’re finalizing the full lineup over the next fortnight and after consulting Emma Richardson we are pleased she was in favor of putting two teams together on a weekend when the Sport is overflowing with Individual events. This is now an important part of the team’s preparations for the season and I know that Neil Vatcher is looking forward to going head to head with his old mate Phil Morris, who will be managing the All Stars. It’s also great to be able to open up the Centre Green and pits for the night as it’s been a feature of our practices in the past and this takes it to the next level” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjolnir Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm looking forward to this, it should be a great meeting! Am I right in thinking that there's still one rider to be announced for Lee's team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm looking forward to this, it should be a great meeting! Am I right in thinking that there's still one rider to be announced for Lee's team? I think they are all there now for the Lee's All stars Davy Watt, Scott Nicholls, Rory Sclein, Richie Worrall, Kelvin Tatum, Justin Sedgmen and Ben Morley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, I missed Sedgmen - cheers Tony It'll be good to see him ride, from what I've heard he's certainly improved since he rode for us. I think it's a great team that's been selected! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ah ok, I missed Sedgmen - cheers Tony It'll be good to see him ride, from what I've heard he's certainly improved since he rode for us. I think it's a great team that's been selected! I still rember him coming from the back to beat Freddie Lindgren so if he has improved on that it will be a treat to watch ! Justin's good choice for the meeting IMO . Did a decent job in his time with us and still has a fair degree of support among the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Can't believe it was nearly three years ago we lost Rico, still feels like only yesterday. Weather looks ok the moment and praying it will stay that way, this meeting deserves a great crowd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 FIRST RACEDAY WEATHER CHECK: 8.45 am and day has dawned cloudy but dry with no hint of lain and none forecast to arrive today by the Met Office. In fact they reckon the cloud will burn off by later this afternoon, temperatures will rise to 10c (what's that in Fahrenheit?) and will stay at that level to around midnight so likely you won't need your thermal underwear! So come on down, up or across to the home of the Vortex Lakeside action and let's Remember Rico!

marko Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Dry albiet very gloomy, oh for a bit of sunshine, think some warm clothes for tonight won't go amiss as it feels nippy out there this morning and with all these races to get through it promises to be longish but action packed evening, can't wait to see the King of Lakeside back.

crazysue Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message including your mobile number. Many thanks As an extra, I am unable to attend tonight and I guess I will not be alone in that, so is there a link I could use and we could put on Updates for those who might want to donate to the fund as they cannot make it.

Mjolnir Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Wow ... Kelvin Tatum! I expected him to do alright, be in the mix and pick up a few points, but I was very impressed. A great meeting tonight, the teams were very evenly matched (as reflected in the score line) with some good racing. AJ got off to an underwhelming start for us but I'm sure it won't be long until he's up to speed. His bikes just seemed a bit down on power tonight. Adam also hasn't had the best start to the season either, hopefully he can keep his chin up as I'm sure he'll come good. Brilliant performances from Eddie and Richard in particular (plenty more of that please!) and Kim and Ashley were also impressive.

KevtheRev Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Agree with all the above apart from the great racing. Almost no overtaking on a track that was pretty sparse in terms of dirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
