jenga Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) both team look to be with the riders they started with . no r/r for either team , i think . could be a close meeting , but going for anaway win to wuggy . bears look to have 3 good heat leaders in bjerre , skidmore, and anderson . and simon neilson is a good reserve .i can see buckave being replaced by ty proctor in the future . (not too sure about dropping ass riders tho .. onto wuggy riders . Ricky w is still excellent at 1 rasser on last sat performance is a steal on his average . K.K.H. well , he is the darling of the wuggy fans at the moment . mason.. 2nd meet and i hope he aint too stiff ! claus v .. a tall rider who looks slow, but isn't. like him . AR . just keep on the bike mate . matt willy . i think he has had some winter spins around bear country . cant fault his effort at all . hope for a full, safe meeting for both sides and all the points for wuggy .

boz Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Will try and keep this updated with weather throughout the day - looking dry at the moment and the forecast I have seen is for it to remain largely dry but quite overcast. Have had quite a bit of rain over the last 2/3 days so hopefully has not done too much damage to the track and we will be good to go.

Have had quite a bit of rain over the last 2/3 days so hopefully has not done too much damage to the track and we will be good to go. Thanks, much appreciated. In my experience (and I have been told so many times) STMP is a much, much better race track if it rains the day before a meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 No change here, if anything has got a bit brighter so should be good to go. Agree about the track. A good natural watering seems to do the track good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecksact Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Latest weather update - Been no more rain since Boz last posted and, though still overcast, it doesn't look like we're about to get any more any time soon. Assuming the weather of the last couple of days hasn't done any damage (and even then, it's just been like a constant light rain/drizzle rather than almighty downpours) can't see any reason why this one shouldn't go ahead. Fingers crossed but all should be good. Watch it p!ss down now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After too much rain yesterday and working all day on the track there is too much moisture." And "Rider safety is paramount and sorry for late call. New date will be announced asap."

boz Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Apologies if anybody travelled based on my posts. We have had no rain today, but as I mentioned a fair amount over the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory peck Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Very late call 630 must have realised the track was unfit before then I got to scotch corner, but some comets fans had already arrived 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Just seen some pics of the track.... Disgrace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northyorksbear Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Just seen some pics of the track.... Disgrace. Disgrace in what way? The track in general, decision to call off, such a late call?? I haven't seen any pics, but it may look perfect, I understand Belle Vue did before the farce they had. It would have been a huge mistake to try and start knowing track wasn't right/safe - riders would soon complain and we would off after 2 or 3 heats!

jackofdiamonds Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Redcar has all week to prepare a track, at Newcastle we have one day and still manage to prepare an excellent racing strip. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
