ChaosTheory22 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks for the link to the updates. Surprised Kent didn't have rain been raining here all day. Hope Shanes & BWD get there equipment running again soon. Shame Georgie Wood missed out, pleasing that Kelsy is back on a bike, he just needs time he's only a nipper. I look forward to seeing riders race at Coventry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) One or two kamakarzy pilots on show tonight of course another useless ref was inconsistent in judging the wipe outs,,but he got the last one in the final right when Simon Lambert was wiped out when leading, by Dan Greenwood who had been on the recieving end earlier in the meeting himself,,Danny Ayers being excluded in that one,, and the race had to be awarded, ,the curfew had expired any way,,Lambert being named the winner and well deserved to. Little to say about the rest ,The Nicky Pedersen award going to Danny Ayers who somehow managed to finish runner up and Cris Widman was 3rd ... Withdrawalls during the meeting were James Shanes after a nasty looking 1st bend bunching incident and Bradley Wilson Deans who had machinary problems Basby looked quick tonight and Ben Morleys run of diabolical ref decisions lately continued tonight ..Crowd simular to last week..Note there is NO MEETING AT CENTRAL PARK NEXT MONDAY !!!

Guest Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) With respect why were you so wondering? Because there had been no pre-meeting publicity for The Laurels on this BSF section - as usually happens in regard to 'forthcoming attractions'. I would have thought that would have been fairly obvious? Obviously not! And I also have an interest in the event called The Laurels having seen many meetings in that competition in the days when top-line riders competed and it was based at Wimbledon. lakeside are riding against coventry, with admission only £5 if purchased in advance. Kent rarely run when the hammers are at home. I wonder how many who visit Kent Kings also visit Lakeside Hammers - in which case where do most of Kings' supporters come from? I thought that Kings "enjoyed local support"which if so there should be no clash of interest as I see it!

Vic Meldrew Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I would just edge out Dan Greenwood over Danny Ayres as the new Nicki Pederson lookalike for the season to date at Central Park. Greenwood 3 Ayres 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't often post on here but I cannot understand why the referee was so lenient on some riders at the gate. We all know there is a tight curfew at CP and the meeting was not without incidents but one rider in particular seemed to exit the pits with 60 seconds or less of the 2 minute warning remaining and then proceeded to do his gardening, and only cap it off spending more time faffing with his machine and equipment. The rules state that Riders must be “ready to race” or be “under the control of the Start Marshal” in the correct Gate position within the permitted Time Allowance. It is about time the referees clamped own on these delaying tactics and 1st bend bunching shouldn't include incidents on bend 2!!

Vic Meldrew Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I agree that the referee was excessively lenient on time wasters last night. First bend bunching ? It depends on your interpretation. Does a circuit have two bends or four ? To my mind the track has two bends and four turns so an incident just exiting the first bend i.e turn two can be interpreted as "first bend bunching" by the referee. In last night's final Greenwood was lucky not to be excluded for forcing Lambert into the fence coming out of the first bend (or turn two !).

SCB Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 There no such thing as first bend bunching. It's an unsatisfactory start. To me, once you have got to the first bend you are past the start. Referees need to make a decision. They rarely do on bend 1 and some even bottle it on bend 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Meldrew Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 First bend bunching and unsatisfactory starts do exist in reality. They do not apparently appear named as such in the Speedway Regulations. The final decision is of course down to the referee. If he stops the race, usually as a result of an incident on the first bend, then he can either exclude a rider deemed to be "at fault" (cause of stoppage) or order the race to be re run. In the event of a re run with all four riders the usual explanation given via the track announcer is that it was an unsatisfactory start.

Some of the track staff also work at both venues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregular Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Records of a once great individual speedway classic: http://edinburghspee...-wimbledon.html I saw them all from 1964-1985. Just look at the winners from that era. We don't see speedway of that calibre in England too often nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
