boz Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but another chance for the Bears to get some competitive track time ahead of the season starting against a decent looking select side put together in memory of Russ Hodgson. Teams: Jason Garrity © Tobias Busch Charles Wright Jonas B Andersen Ben Barker Richard Hall Ellis Perks Richard Lawson James Sarjeant Carl Wilkinson Adam Roynon Thomas Jorgensen Jye Etheridge Lee Payne A meeting I would fancy the Bears to win - but Lawson and Jorgensen especially will provide tough competition. This meeting will also contain a second half challenge between the Redcar Cubs and Sunderland Stars. Teams for that are: Carl Basford Gavin Parr Elliot Kelly Alex Goldsbrough Ben Basford David Pye Jack Wright Kyran Lyden Meeting starts at 7:30, parade at 7:20.

boz Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Tobias Busch has unfortunately had to withdraw due to severe bruising sustained in an Ice Speedway injury last week. R/r will operate to give the 6 remaining Bears extra track time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsy72 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Should be a really good meeting with loads of out and out racers amongst the 13 riders. Weather forecast looks good so get yourselves along. Also it would be great to see as many of you staying behind to watch the Cubs. We really appreciate all the support. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Floods? First and second bends were under a lot of water at the weekend. KK posted pictures on his facebook page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsy72 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Track was dry again by Sunday evening thankfully :-) With little / no rain this week Terry The Track should have had a couple of good days to prepare a great racing circuit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Pretty routine win in the end - not going to get too carried away with a win in a challenge meeting but some very positive signs for the Bears. Barker was a different class tonight - looked so, so quick. Garrity also looked very good again, and would have had another paid win if it was not for his lost chain in heat 15. Positive signs from the full team though - Wright and Andersen look a very useful pairing and though Perks started the meeting superbly. May not be a title winning side, but definitely a team capable of winning most home meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk Bear Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 One thing from this meeting that deserves a mention is the superb condition of the track , what a change from the last two years . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Considering the bears teams of the last few seasons that have been put together with the leftover scraps going nice and cheap , it is refreshing to have a side that should win the majority at home and be capable of putting up a good effort away from home maybe with the odd win here and there.
