He still was programmed for ht 12, but the change meant Greaves could race a Berwick reserve in ht12,it was a good tactical move IMO.Wooley was not going to get a point unless someone had a mishap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I called it at heat 8 when looking through the rest of the meeting but didn’t think they would actually do it, all about sacrificing him and maximising Greaves’s points, Leon very unlucky and we would of got a draw at least without that chain snap but to me, it was the same two riders as it is a lot of the time who were at fault tonight, the two G’s, need more from Garcia on a 5 point average at reserve, it’s a waste and bad night from Gappmaier after a good few weeks, the two of them let us down in heat 14, well done Redcar, Riss, Wright and Greaves were good throughout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway4ever Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I quite liked watching the racing at Newcastle. It's a technical track and different. If they were all the same it would be boring racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit never seen Ivan and Ole ride there. Too young. Was referring to 75 onward. Sometimes a few hammerings. Some visiting teams in that era seemed to be beat before they got on track. 38 point limit not there then!!!! Ian Thomas spinning in his grave with what is happening now.
