uk_martin Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Think you find that Jack won the British Youth Round at Eastbourne this year Well that's good to hear...just hope that he gets the booking then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well that's good to hear...just hope that he gets the booking then. He won't beat Andrews though.... He only beat him at Buxton because Andrews fell while well ahead. And the class is slightly higher at this level so he may not do so well but he was impressive when I saw him at Eastbourne a while back. Might get the better of Dugard if he's going slow again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Might as well present the Sparrows with all the knock-out trophies before the start of the season as with their trick track advantage no one will compete on aggregate. I shudder to think how Jack P-B will get on at Eastbourne. He was nowhere near the kerb at any point at Perry Barr the other night so gawd help him on an even smaller and oddly shaped track. I do recall 3 time world champion NP saying something along the lines of this in the speedway star nearly a decade ago, 'you have to race tracks like this, this is where you learn. Anybody can hold a throttle with a big set of 'nuts' but it takes a real motorcyclist to use their head and win races. If you can race Eastbourne you can race anytrack' that being the the decisive factor this year many teams can 'ride' Eastbourne but not many can 'race' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTB Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 It's not a trick track!!!! It's an oval made of shale with a white line and starting tapes. Just need to be a bit level headed to ride it because it's so tight compared to bigger tracks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee jay Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 to all of you on here that never miss a chance to bring out the usual drivel about 'trick track' and 'track doctoring' to explain your teams lack of sucess, you're missing two things. arlington is no more of a 'trick' track than lakeside, plymouth , buxton . the reason that we have beaten every single team in every single competition on a home and away basis is that we have lost by so little away from arlington. perhaps you'd have a better chance if your track men were to stop 'doctoring' your tracks to suit eastbourne ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGT Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yes but it's still a big advantage if you ride it most weeks and capitalise on mistakes of those who ride it maybe twice a year???? And practice on it too, which is a luxury riders at PB will never have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I have a longer memory than you so yes I do. Maybe you and Gee Jay can discuss, in depth, the long history of the Eastbourne v Birmingham rivalry on Wonderful Radio Speedway Tavern?
