scampispeedway Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 In light of Sundays result I can see only one outcome and that is a win for the Rebels because from memory it is a fast open track with passing possible if somebody doesn't gate.

Cliffeboy Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Lot of pressure on young Anders, a repeat of his score against Glasgow should swing it for the Rebels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Looks like a lot of dirt for Mr Schlein, if he dares go there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesR Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Schlein pulled out of heat 3 on third lap when last. Still waiting for rerun of heat 4, crash on first turn, all up ok but that was 15 mins ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 The first hour was a bit of a disaster. A failing starting gate followed by the necessity of substantial track work after a bad crash in heat 4. Promotions simply have to make sure that track preparation is undertaken before the meeting rather than during it Unnecessary delay will drive people away. Once it got going, however, this was a very decent meeting with Rowe & Stoneman in particular catching the eye. If those two keep banging in a few points, Rebels could be a real threat come play off time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttons Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 It seems the usual response when riders are interviewed re the state of Somerset's track is Its different every week, it obviously was not right again last night and not watered enough as their was dust blowing all over the back straight, its a shame as I used to enjoy my visits, but the last two visits have been totally different, last night it was very processional with very few passes, yet last week against Glasgow the racing was good. Once the ref had asked for more work to be done on the track last night the racing improved. Who is the track curator now at Somerset ?

I was thinking I've come all this way for nothing. Yet at 6:45pm they were watering the track with the sun shining but some ominous dark clouds threatening all around the stadium. I was surprised how dry it had become by 7:30pm. 4 hours ago, Loose Diamond said: Lasse Bjerre continues to under perform. His poor score against riders he should be beating lost them a point in the end. Lasse blew up his number 1 engine on the stand during the warm-up. In his 2nd ride Rory Schlein put him in the back straight fence though he didn't fall off. In his 3rd he was inadvertently stuffed by Matty who hit a rut on bend 3 and straightened up across the front of him. I've no complaints about Lasse's or any of the diamonds performance. Unfortunately we were 6 points up after heat 6 which allowed the rebels to use a tac sub in place of out of touch Luke Harris. That made the difference between us getting a point (which we deserved) or not. In the bar afterwards, during the rider presentation/speeches, Rory Schlein said "Somerset got out of jail tonight". Nice new Travel lodge 5 minute walk from the stadium now.

Well it just goes to show about points when you're at the track watching events. I was not aware that he blew his best engine in the warm up. I had to leave the pits by then!

Scored more points than I thought they would. But also Somerset scoring affected by Nick Morris's first 2 rides and Schlein's retirement in his first ride. But definitely harsh on the Diamonds the the end when Steve could not hang onto second place in heat 15 that would have won us a point.
