northyorksbear Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just to say the times for much of today's meeting were fast t/r is 57.1 and 3 races were under 58secs. By heat 10 things had got worse with a time of 60.3 and only one line 2inches from the fence! I heard it announced that it was Peterborough that asked for an inspection. By the time the ref reached the 2nd bend it had got heavier. A pity rain intervened Glasgow would have finished strong with Lawson due 3 rides, Summers 3 rides and Morris one. But hey we got the 3 points and a pint or two You need to read my first comment, because this seems a very defensive post, and I'm not having a go a Glasgow/P'boro and I'm not saying that today's meeting (which I was nowhere near) should not have been called off at the time it was, but it is always just after heat 10! I'm asking questions as to was the track really safe to run heat 10, or heat 9 etc. I would like to see more teams take a stance and call off at heat 8 or 9 - I just think supporters are getting cheated because we are not seeing proper racing if track is getting that bad and then not getting any refund or discount on future meetings and sorry if this is really cynical but I assume riders only get paid for the races completed (or started) so immediately you have a saving for the promoter and the public pay full price for 66.6% of the product bought and as stated above probably a lesser quality product!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Actually wasn't a bad meeting till the heavy rain intervened . One or two were unhappy when the meeting got stopped , but 5 mins or so after the abandonment it really came down . At the time the call off probably suited both sides , so we move on . But isn't Aaron Summers riding particularly well these days . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Is Arron sponsored by Red Bull? He seems to have wee wings flapping on his shoulders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Is Arron sponsored by Red Bull? He seems to have wee wings flapping on his shoulders. It's actually spelt, Aaron not Arron...... if you want to be picky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 It's actually spelt, Aaron not Arron...... if you want to be picky.To be fair , I left Tyretrax in the bar at the track , couple of hours after the abandonment , so the spelling of young Aaron's name is not unexpected 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Changing the subject quickly...nice touch by Glasgow to give Michael Palm Toft a birthday cake as well! Good idea and thankfully spelt correctly. The only thing I know about spelling is that you don't spell "special" with a "ho"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Not bad from a Panthers team with one heat leader three second strings and two reserves two away meetings with patched up teams and a point to show on both nights .
