erimus11 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Hardly 'wiped him out' did he, Kyle went past him that fast he was at least three bikes lengths past him before Barker went down! Ben doesn't usually need anyone to wipe him out, he's quite good at coming off by himself, and he usually likes a bit of contact with other riders during racing. I'm assuming you were at the meeting to form that opinion - which i still say is completely wrong. Funnily enough - I had said to my mate that I hadn't seen Ben fall off once this season - at home that is. The only other time he did , apart from when KH took him out, was at the Silver Helmet meeting when he stripped down to his undies and got on his bike only to come off at the 1st/2nd bend! I realise that Ben ain't everybody's cup of tea but I've said this before, he's been a breath of fresh air for Redcar speedway. His enthusiasm. leadership, team work, commitment , not to mention his riding skills and outstanding performances, have won him a hell of a lot of new fans down our place Edited September 19, 2017 by erimus11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His enthusiasm. leadership, team work, commitment , not to mention his riding skills and outstanding performances, have won him a hell of a lot of new fans down our place My initial post was about the fact that Barker was down to ride on Monday and the last I knew was that he'd got a broken wrist! Yes I was at STMP on the Friday night and saw the incident at the start of the home straight where Barker had locked up a little in the 4th bend, Howarth got his wheels in line and went wizzing down the straight, he must have caught Barkers handlebars or his front wheel with his rear wheel as he passed him to bring him down. Didn't 'wipe him out'. Barker seemed to go down awkwardly which must have resulted in his wrist injury! Ben Barker is an exiting rider, accepted, not everyones cup of tea, (ask the Peterborough fans for their opinion) and that Friday evening heat 1 bend 1 he was on the inside of Josh Grajczonek, made contact with him, forcing him wide, and passed him! Seen him do it a few times and it's called racing. Yes if he's your rider I can understand why you like him, he's full of enthusiasm, outstanding performances? what happened on our last visit in August? Hope you get chance to watch him next season.

RS50 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Did the announcer say that this match is re arranged for Thursday 28 September?. Thought I heard this but just checked website and not on fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerblade Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Did the announcer say that this match is re arranged for Thursday 28 September?. Thought I heard this but just checked website and not on fixtures I heard it too - my guess is the promotions had verbally agreed on it before last night, but of course had to make sure last night was over and done with first.
