Steve Shovlar Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Just a quick not to say the meeting at Kings Lynn tonight is live on youtube right now for those that were not aware. Commentary in Polish but stream quality is excellent through chromecast. https://youtu.be/uNfytyLZgq8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzAssStar Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Shocking track Looks like you and Shovlar know more than Max Fricke who says the track is fine and that the crashes are down to over exuberant riding by young and inexperienced riders putting it on the line. Then again what does Max Fricke know............ he's only riding there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Nothing wrong with the track last night. The times were as quick as Elite league meetings. There was some good racing bit the meeting was Spoiled by the endless crashes and the track grading after every four heats. The crowd wasn't as many as for an elite league.

Kickitov Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Absolutely nothing wrong with the track last night, just inexperienced youngsters putting it on the line. Many who have never been to Kings Lynn slightly caught out by the amount of grip and speed. Couldn't believe how long proceedings took. Delays for crashes was fair enough. Referee took an age to put the 2 minutes on and the time spent track grading between every 4 heats was a joke! Impressed with Lambert, Pieszczek, Przedpelski and Fricke. Any news on Przedpelski???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably have given up half way through and gone home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 This to me typifies the main reason I get cheesed off with Speedway. I would probably have given up half way through and gone home. Hubby & daughter did just that. Left whilst Przedpelski was being treated, got home made cuppa and sarnie and had time to eat before heat 13! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Belle Vue were done and dusted just after 9 on Friday. Even if it's a mundane match it certainly helps if the meeting skips along. It's a pet hate of mine having delays between heats. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytsejam Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 This to me typifies the main reason I get cheesed off with Speedway. I would probably have given up half way through and gone home. Exactly!!....4+ hours for just TWENTY THREE!!! minutes of racing (well, OK, lets say 30 mins with all the re-runs!) is unacceptable and a disgrace to be honest. There is NO excuse for ever dragging out ANY normal 15 heat meeting (barring serious injury or rain interruptions) for more than 90 mins or a 23 heat individual meeting for more than 150 mins. Its normally done I reckon just so that people spend more in the bars etc as they are bored stupid with waiting about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Okay, there were plenty of falls and riders needing medical attention but there seemed to be a total absence or urgency when the meeting was running, although it is probably unfair to judge from a video stream rather than being there. What was ridiculous was to keep the modern ritual of having riders gather before cameras, waiting for a presenter to eventually be given the go ahead to go through the helmet colour choice for both semis and the final. Given the huge delays to the meeting this should have been cut out. The riders in each semi and the final should just have been gathered in the pits and asked for their choices off-camera and just got on with things. Some times procedures need to be adaptable even if it spoils the video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
