That being said I'm sure if there is a scintilla of hope, he will make himself fit. Edited August 23, 2019 by Robinh88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Berwick have had some very decent night around Redcar, sadly I do see this night as being one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Good point away to a team which look like they are destined for the playoffs. A win tomorrow night will cap a good week for Berwick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thoroughly deserved point for Berwick - Summers was excellent alongside Covatti but solid points throughout the team. Slightly disappointing performance from the Bears but a good hard fought win. Think the track caught us out a bit at the start of the meeting and not a huge amount of passing. Wright was superb and probably the difference between the sides, a couple of great tussles with Summers. Riss started well and important score again from Andersen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last in heat 12 when he was up against Nathan Greaves, who was also in 14. Close call. Hard to tell without actually seeing the races to fully judge what's going on. Don't think it mattered in the end, we got a point.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRackBandit Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Flinty earned his 4th ride.

Fortythirtyeight Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 First time I've said this about Redcar but disapointing meeting in terms of the quality of racing. Score line kept the match interesting but some of the home riders didn't look comfortable on an overwatered track and the Bandits made the best of their opportunities. Not many races to shout about although Summers had his moments , Riss started well and Wright was a class above with Anderson and Flint impressing. Too much tractor work ( trying to fix the track ) made the meeting drag a little and no second half racing due to an amateur meeting tomorrow with no ' Smoggy ' to keep us entertained.. Not the worst meeting ever but not as good as I'd hoped. Bandits deserved their point and the Bears will be happy with the win considering the low scores from three riders. Think they are safe for a play off place but may struggle against the more solid top 3 sides and with Wright having a GP appearance on his mind. Great to see Workington fans in the ' hospitality suite ' by the start line . Not often I'm home before midnight for an away match but that's something to be thankful for I suppose.

He has been doing it all season but seems to be getting worse. Really struggles to get around the 1st and 2nd bends especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track grading normally takes place after Heats 4,7,10(interval) & 14, which is what happened tonight, so no different to normal. I think the trackman expected the track to dry a bit quicker than it did and got caught out a little with the amount of water put on the track, but these things happen occasionally. It's a fine balance between being too wet and too dry, when you trying to predict the rate at which it will dry out during the night after a warm sunny day with a mild breeze. Your trying to create a good racing surface, whilst at the same time trying to avoid it becoming a dust bowl, on the whole our trackman does a pretty good job most weeks. As to it dragging out, All 15 heats were complete by 9.00pm, so not that much difference to any other week. I think you just missed "Smoggy" not being there to distract you during the lulls in action (she is a tremendous asset to the club, the way she get's the kid's involve). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Very good and unexpected point for Berwick, as with last season Berwick seem to be coming with a late run but IMO will fall short of a play off place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
