gazzac Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Easy home win with our trick track and smooth surface which the Brummies won't be able to cope with, Bacon, Shanes and Hume have never riden well here and probably the only track the wonder kid won't get to grips with. That's what the Brummie fans will tell you as usual . Seriously though should be a pretty close meeting, but think the deciding factor will probably be Dugard at reserve, with a home win, but Birmingham could quite easily grab a point.

Moleman27 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Not sure, Georgie's been on fire recently and so has Tom and will be hard too beat around Arlington even with their riders. Flint will add an interesting factor too it but being in the main team of course cant score as much as he usual would do and having to go up against big riders and with Jason having far more main team experience will be ahead of Flint on that side. Otherwise the rest of their team wont do that good at all, I would predict 5 points maybe between their 3 lower order riders which wont be enough with other 4 to win against us.

Hope I'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Home win for me, I reckon the brummies will be happy with an away point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Best of luck to Leon Flint now he has moved into the main team, though I`m sure he will take it all in his stride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 with lots of one sided meetings in this league this meeting looks a cracker tbh, 3 good heat leaders on either side all good round the track, 2 young up n comers now in the top 5, and some reserves that tbh fall as often as they finish, a good meeting to go and watch ..

GWC Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 1 minute ago, Richard Weston said: It is not a trick track. If you ever wanted to see a trick track - try Mildenhall for starters. Mildenhall is or was a fast full throttle track and has produced terrific racing don’t recall it being tricky. Eastbourne is difficult for inexperienced riders as they have to turn sharply and keep the gas on otherwise they wobble or fall. The grippy conditions also have an effect and you tend to get strung out races unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruckerroo Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hard to get condition right, hot but windy evening. Brum gated v well but eastbourne made hardly any errors. The best race was ht15 when wood screamed past bacon,brennan then steamed up the inner going into lap4, bacon predictably binned it and the ref made the wrong decision. both sides have good and bad points in each side, eastie cant cover for powell away if hes out for long. Brum are just stuffed in the bottom end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Poor meeting tonight on a slick and dusty track, although the closeness of the scores kept it interesting. There was a couple of decent races later in the meeting, but overall not a lot to get excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat out speed doesn't;t lead to amazing racing People who go to Belle Vue or Peterborough would probably disagree with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
