scunny1 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 A meeting with not much to ride for as no cup progression at stake, however it was entertaining. Thought track was underwatered with too much dust and far too much tractor racing making it disjointed. A strong performance from the home side, the difference being their Reserves scores against the Scorpion reserve scores. Ryan not seen the track before but Josh Bailey is starting to worry me. Thankfully no injuries and just another warm up to the League starting proper. We underperformed but at least I got my Friday night speedway fix.

ScunnyDan Posted May 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Enjoyed that, despite the result. Auty really disappointing, and much like Scunny1 Bailey's starting to become a worry, Ryan can be excused as he's never seen the place. Jake and Danny were awesome!

Terry the trackman, usually gets his watering, pretty much spot on, but the dust started in the last 3 or 4 heats. In hindsight, maybe some water during the interval, after heat 9, would have been good. Still it is a good horse that does not stumble, as they say. I think you are correct that the main difference, on the night, was at reserve. One point from 7 rides is not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I wasn't there last night but on the two occasions I have visited it has got dusty, I still think it is one of the better tracks in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I didnt actually think the dust was too bad at all - standing on the second bend we normally get the brunt of it and was not too bad. Think it is tricky to water the track too much when it was as cold as it was last night, could have easily gone too slippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you are right, once the dust starts to come, sometimes its too late to water. Even so it was a very entertaining match, with good passing, from riders on both teams.
