Halifaxtiger Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Not much racing (with one stunning exception) but a pulsating meeting simply because of the closeness of the score (42-42 with one to go). And then we had heat 15. Halsey gated and was followed by Bowen, Shanes & Mountain and it stayed that way until bend 3, lap 4 although there was never much of gap between Halsey & Bowen and Shanes & Mountain. Halsey stayed in front and Mountain edged inside Shanes and at that point Mildenhall were going to win. Then Bowen burst off the final corner to go inside Halsey and Shanes got the speed to re-pass Mountain. A brilliant end to an exciting match. In truth, Mildenhall should have won. They lost points throughout as a result of being unlucky, trying too hard and a little bit of loss of concentration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 R/R for Ayres has hurt Kent today but guest options would have been slim pickings, Ben Wilson perhaps the only rider that could have scored similarly to Ayres on a lower average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Not a classic in terms of quality but very entertaining meeting none the less. Mildenhalls top 3 were excellent value, Armstrong the evergreen looked superb, Mountain looked like a true number 1 and Halsey was quick and brave. The rest of the fen tigers blew hot and cold though. Widman should be much stringer at reserve than he currently is, Bowtell had a patchy afternoon and Coles is having a shocker this season and looked was slow. For the Kings it was a case of better late than never but lacking in heat winners early on was a big worry at home. The Clifton/Mason partnership at 3/4 didnt seem to work with Mason always gating but Clifton faster but stuck behind. Shanes got shown up on occasions by riders who use the conventional line quickly. Then Bowen 747 who threw the bike everywhere in ht15 to try and pass the fast gating Halsey, i personally didnt think it was going to happen and then off the final turn the home crowd erupted. Hard on Mildenhall who i felt deserved the draw for their efforts but reminded everyone that on their day they are a potent force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
