scoobydoo Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Unlucky to Sheffield they finished as the best of the rest placed team this time around in the qualifiers but still didnt make the final. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Well from a Redcar point of view whilst disappointed that the Bears didn’t qualify (particularly after making such a good start) I thought it couldn’t have gone much better. Obviously there was a lot of dust but given almost a week of unremitting sun I thought the track held up remarkably well. When it’s that dry you expect it to be first out of the gate processions but there were some fabulous races and spectacular action. Congratulations to the Panthers who had strength in depth, Glasgow unlucky not to finish second after Harris EF on the last lap (couple of fantastic races from him earlier) and Edinburgh were excellent, really impressed with all their young riders. Massive well done to Kevin and the Redcar promotion - couldn’t have done a much better job in terms of organisation imo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not overcrowded and most people will have got a good view of the action (dust permitting) The back straight being open gave some excellent views but suffered from the dust and the crowd thinned on that side as the meeting went on. Great to see so many teams represented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hearing crowd wasn't even 30 percent of what you get at the Showground. BSPA coffers will be suffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 panthers will be going for 3 on the bounce next season, and with the way Ged builds his teams it wouldn't surprise me if they did it. Well done Panthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSPA coffers will be suffering. Southern fans don't seem to like to travel North for some reason - although there were a few Panthers fans there. You would have enjoyed it if you had made the effort Excellent contingents from Berwick, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle. Nice for the Northern tracks not to have to travel massive distances for a change. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffiling team management but not surprising nothing against him personally but having a fan run the team has backfired more than once lately. Starkey not 100% fit.

Interesting to here the comments from fans who were actually about the day in general, parking, facilities, and Redcar as a suitable location. Great day well organised plenty off extra car parking and additional catering/Pop up Bars/Ice Cream vans etc etc. The track was well prepared and made for some excellent racing right up to the 35th heat. Well done to Kevin Keay for taking this on at Redcar and giving everyone a great day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Last track done now great day out and thought Redcar did a great job, dusty obviously but without watering every two heats and then the meeting going on all night not much they could have done better. Will definately revisit for a league meeting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
