Don’t disagree at all, but racing competitively rather than practicing is an advantage. Also the chance to ride on the track with someone you’re going to be riding with, will get you used to how they take the corners, how they go into them, how wide they come in etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Blue Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have to say I was surprised Panthers won this meeting. I know Lakeside had not ridden as a team but I believe they had all had competitive rides prior to yesterday, certainly those doubling with Swindon had ridden a few times, whereas only Scott had taken part in any form of meeting on the Panthers side. On paper it was always going to be a tough meeting for Panthers so it was pleasing to actually get the win. As to who did what, the score card shows .. but I thought Tom Bacon looked more on the pace than previously and probably deserved a bit more points wise. I still believe that it will be a difficult season for this Panthers team, but we are running and off with a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Decent match to start the season. Pleased with the speed the meeting was concluded, especially with the later start time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This said the time it took to run the 15 heats was very good, no unnecessary delays. The four minute rule/guideline between races is clearly working - well done (for a change) to the rule makers!

The meeting was quite unusual to have not a single re-run or fall - that helps the timekeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from heat 15 when the tapes went up before the green light/Babs pressed the wrong button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again proof she couldn't run a bath, never mind a speedway meeting. Not excluding Newman was even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside it was good to see the meeting run on time & at a good pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
