I won't be back again this season (won't make the Edinburgh v Berwick match either). Good luck with the rest of your season and hope others follow your lead.

Mr Blobby Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hopeful of getting a point at least from this, we’re riding well at the moment so let’s hope we can keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 when I left maryport just after 5 it was raining sort of heavy but very fine rain it was like that all way till just past Workington not bad enough to affect track but rider visability is another thing lets hope it blows over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Infuriating when a rider misses the 2 minutes in their first ride but to then use the same misfiring bike heat after heat is unforgiveable. Well it is in this case! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I enjoyed that a good meeting with some very good racing. Was looking a bit ominous for the Comets early on with Klindt Barker and Proctor not looking on the pace. Rasmus Jensen was superb with his heat 6 win a great ride. Wells Riss and Worrall very good for Monarchs along with Pickering who put in some good efferts. Heat 15 was shaping up to be a cracker until the fall, hope the lads ok. Thought they would have re run it as it was only the second lap. But well done to the Comets for the win and the Monarchs for making it such a good meeting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Good meeting , well done to both sides for providing some great racing. For Edinburgh Pickering was the Star for me , never giving up, for the Comets Razze4 wa# the star of the show . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlislecomet2 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Well what a cracking meeting and is what you can get when you get 2 good teams racing on a track which is fair to both teams and not weighted in favour the home team. It could have gone either way all the way through the meeting and looked like ending in a draw until Rene and Rasmus came up with the goods in the last heat. The Monarchs have DP specialists in their ranks through Wells, Worrall and Riss who always give us a run for our money, however I was very impressed with Pickering. Hopefully we can both get through to the play offs, where hopefully we can give a much better account of things than last night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Entertaining meeting that was close throughout. It could have been a banana skin for the Comets with Nicolai who is usually very professional falling well short of his usual high mechanical standards and skipper Ty not at his best. The rest of the lads showed great spirit to help blunt the sharp spearhead that is Wells, Worrall and Riss. Rasser showed a fantastic attitude to his racing tonight as indeed he has all season and along with Rene was hugely influential in securing the 3 points. Huge credit must also go to young Kyle Bickley whose 3 well earned points secured the 3 match points . Great to see him on the pace and riding with greater confidence, skill and belief. Nice to see Cookie working with him on his starts after the meeting top man ! Most entertaining rider for the Monarchs was Josh Pickering who easily had his best meeting at Derwent Park. On the night the Monarchs certainly deserved a point but if all the Comets had been firing they would have been denied it. Just hope the lads can keep the racing sharpness and mechanical integrity over the remaining matches as it would be great to do it for Club and Dan. Great to see an appearance from Gary Stead who looked in great shape in spite of scoffing in Wetherspoons !. Enjoyed the music tonight keep up the good work. Thanks to the Monarchs fans who made the journey think you will have felt better than i did at Armadale last night. Up the Comets !!

Seriously though why didnt he borrow a bike. If the first bike blew on warm up and the second was playing up, surely after 2 heats at most you abandon what hasnt been working and go to plan B.

scaramanga Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) rasmus really turning out to be a great rider fantastic tonight nice to see kyle looking much more competitive some really really good racing tonight 1 thing for sure is that the dry rock hard tracks weve had recently need to be a thing of the past the little rain before the meeting done the track good still a bit dusty at times but hey the action on track spoke for its self give the riders a good race track and they will entertain like they did tonight wonder if rasmus needs to go to 3 or 4 and move dans r/r or guest to no 2 rasmus and rene at 3 and 4 might work a treat Edited September 1, 2018 by scaramanga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just in from Workington. Think we deserved the point and Monarchs were a tad fortunate with Nicolai having bike problems. Reserves for Workington tanked our two so well done to young Kyle. Any two from our top 4 could have been in heat 15. On reflection maybe would have put Ricky off 4. Hope both of us make play offs, Laura deserves it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see that sort of attitude from a guest when we have seen others (mentioning no names) guesting and appearing not to give a monkeys after scoring big points here with their own team. As already stated a very enjoyable meeting with special mentions this week to Rasmus, Rene and Kyle. Hopefully Nicolai can get his machinery issues sorted this week, as that could have easily cost us tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cometbaz Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Excellent meeting last night. Thouroughly enjoyed it with plenty of passing. Klindt had a night to forget Rasser was superb Ben Barker an excellent choice of guest and always seemed to be trying his hardest Rene had a good night after a slow start and showed the type of determination we know he is capable of Ty does not seem as sharp as he did a month or two ago when he was guesting for everyone and banging big scores in everywhere but did OK Kyle did well again and it was good to see him getting points after a brave pass down the back straight when plenty of others would have shut off. I'm so pleased he is finally getting his rewards at this level Mason had a solid night but definitely needs faster machinery as proved by Nicolai when he borrowed his bike He was first out of the start but struggled to hold third Just a thought but if a rider like Klindt last night, blows a bike up in the pits when warming up, couldn't Hoggy announce it to the crowd? If we knew what was happening it would be less frustrating for us and we would feel more sympathetic towards the rider concerned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
