I hope they can do something better with it for tonight so it isn't follow the gating tarts and another home defeat! The majority of the Witches are not exactly renowned for their prowess in that department. Most race meetings I have been to at Ipswich are gate and go anyway and the weather won't help.

crazysue Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Sorry to sound like a broken record but we are still seeking (and desperately now), a texter for this meeting. Is anyone able to help please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 So we’re racing 8 tonight then....! 7 on the track and 1 in the refs box! Fantastic! 6 points from 2 rides to the ref thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigACE Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Abandoned then. Result of 41-37 Ipswich stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yep, abandoned after ht13. Thunderstorms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 The 3% hit and is a doozy of a spectacle Glad we got to a result. A few hard fought heats without being as spectacular as the storm. Witches had to work hard to overcome the Wolves and 'Chiris I Durno what Im doing' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 If the ref had got his decisions right early in the meeting the overall gap would have been wider. He was a totally blind smeg head (polite description) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a totally blind smeg head (polite description) Yeah for Howarth to get away with the jump in ht2 and king to be excluded in 3 we’re both pretty awful decisions from the ref, Howarth should’ve of course then had a warning from ht2 and excluded in his second attempt at cheating the start that was pulled back!! heeps good night allen good night lawson got better KP got a lot better - needs to start scoring from the start of meetings bomber really not good enough king up and down and wrongly excluded kennett must do better - still he’s looking more likely to score at home than bellego though. decent win another 3 points against a team of riders that ride Foxhall well, I said to my dad at the start I think we’ll win but they’ll get a point so a good prediction!! Thought the track was pretty decent today as well, especially given just how hot it’s been past couple of days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Jeepers, I've never ever driven home in a storm like that before, phew glad to get indoors , hot though it still is!! On a plus note, great to have Cameron and Jake back to winning ways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Thought it was a decent meeting considering the weather , track wasn't bad . Shame about the last two heats but the thunderstorm was a bit scary!!! Nightmare journey down and back. The A14 trying to take the title of worst road in the UK off the M25 I reckon. Coming back the A14 was shut then M6 was shut so we diverted down the M42 and guess what. Yup that's right!!! Nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Glad you enjoyed the meeting Bruno and that you at least got to witness 13 heats after my confident prediction of no rain!! Sounds like a horrible journey home. The state of the roads and constant closures which rarely seem to correct much is such a frustration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
