bigcatdiary Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Qualification is based on match points, not race points. I was referring to the best runner up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncooseboy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I understand CL made programme comments about track preparation . He obviously doesnt understand that you get greater entertainment, closer racing, and an altogether better meeting when you DONT have a track prepared with one team in mind. Good racing comes from a consistent surface all over, so inside and outside can be used. Doctored tracks often see riders seeing the doctor.

You obviously didn't see Peterborough against ipswich or most Somerset home matches where they normally batter everyone out of sight. Normally ipswich is one of the fairest prepared tracks Edited April 17, 2015 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWatson Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I was referring to the best runner up So was I Dick, you asserted that Rye House's large win v Plymouth may be a factor - it won't. It's worth the same 3 match points as a 46-44 win. The qualifying runner-up will be decided by the best average of match points per meeting raced. It's all explained on www.speedwaygb.co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Was that at turn 2 where I don't think the bouncy castle reaches? yeah - about 2 panels after it ends. It may just be my imagination but I think thats just about where it ended when it was first installed. Certainly seems to have shrunk over the years.

Baldyman Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 So many crashes at that point of track over the years..also at the same point coming off bend 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Fence should overlap rather than be end to end, then if a rider does come off there is give rather than a fence post being held upright by many panels behind. Andersen, Loram, Mills, Manzares, Roynon all broken bones there and im sure there are many more..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I see Gino is making an appeal for contributions as his suit was cut off last night. ….. the suit that Ipswich paid for. Is it just me or are riders sticking their hands out at every opportunity these days ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
