16 Lap Classic, Ipswich 24-9-15 At 7-45pm


Recommended Posts

Quite heavy rain since 7.30am but should clear by late morning at worst. Then dry with sunny intervals forecast ahead of a clear dry evening/night.

So should be fine for tapes up but likely to need about 6 layers over thermals by the end!!

Where's Morten more to the point? Very surprised that he isn't in the line up I would have thought he'd be one of the first signed up.

Think Mr Louis is hoping for an Ips rider to win it . Couldn't have this season's cast off come back and win now could we

Glorious sunshine now and all set fair for a calm and beautiful day. A shame to be stuck indoors when its like this!

 

Hope we get a cracker of a meeting to bring the season to a close.

Blue sky's all around and a few clouds , Bit of a breeze but forecast for rest of the day looks good .

Scott Nicholls fell on the first lap and was gestulating to the referee that the race should be stopped. Can you possibly believe that the referee could imagine a re-run due to first bend bunching. I would think that it all went so well with no re-runs and no injuries but a very mediocre final and not much excitement all night. . Nic Covatti led from the first lap and won very easily by about 50 yards

final race devalued due to inept ref. Nicholls had to lay it down due to someone out of control in front of him - amazed they stayed on. Would have been a good batlle between King, Wilko and him otherwise. Some tired looking riders at the end.

I thought the qualifying heats were good value and certainly more competitive that the last couple of years.

The final was spoilt by the ref not ordering a re run. Scott performed a superb lay down in order to avoid what couldve been a disasterous incident.

Overall a decent meeting to end the year.

Agreed.

 

Having only just moved back to the Ipswich area late last year, this is the first 16 lapper I have seen for a while. I thought it was an enjoyable meeting with some good competitive racing in some of the heats, normally provided by Nico doing his normal trick of missing the gate and then charging round the wide line.

 

That boy really is worth the admission money and hopefully we'll see him back next season.

In the final Doolan was all set for the win was looking very smooth . Had moved up to 2nd place on track and looked comfortable until his bike started to slow end of lap 15. Ended up being passed and crossed the line 5th I think
