KIRKYLANE Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Looking forward to my next meeting as above. Shame that Jason Crump is likely to be missing. When he rode for us at the dog track he was nothing short of phenomenal. 100% effort at all times and a great racer during his career. Although he does not reach this standard at the age of 45, he is still great to watch and still guarantees 100% effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I reckon Crump will be gutted to be missing this and the Witches will miss him too 20 point+ home win with a real risk of another mega mauling for the Witches unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I think the Witches will score even less than they did at wolves,,,, bumper pay day for Aces riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laobob Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 What are the Witches going to do to replace Jason? All clubs riding so no one available, R/R or Craig Cook as a guest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when they get 42, you can say they did really well! They definitely not going to get lower than 28!! Wolves are a fair bit ahead of BV atm,with everyone riding to their ability and they have a decent home advantage so can't really compare. King is pretty good at BV from what I remember from past British Finals. Not sure about the other Ippo riders though.

We will see,,, takes a certain type of rider to be good at NSS,, like it does Monmore,,, we are very short of those riders. We will also get a huge thumping at Sheffield Edited June 2, 2021 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Wolves and Sheffield though and they definitely have a home advantage!! Or you need poles and aussies in your team (Sheffield) or stay low or go wide at Wolves just not mid track!!

You probably right, seems most riders like the track with its many lines for over/under taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Hyde road , you need a strong engine at the NSS . The vast majority of riders say what a good track the NSS is... any rider worth his salt will ride it well.. I well remember Barry Brigs with the quote “ if you can not race at Hyde road , then you are no racer”...such was his liking for the track The NSS track provides a fantastic theatre for racers to entertain to the highest levels. in the first year at NSS , I was in the pits when Wolverhampton had their first match , Wolves were doing their track walk...as Peter Karlsson walked back in the pits , he turned to a team mate and said “ what a fantastic track” That was before he turned a wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nss is a fair track,,, but you need to be on the fastest bit,,, you can make passes inside or outside as meeting goes on. I don't think we have enough riders that can read the track,,, which is why they kept getting passed on the same bit of track on Monday. I think we will get stuffed,, a good guest may help with the amount of bum cream they will need to use. If I'm wrong please feel free to tell me after the meeting Edited June 2, 2021 by Baldyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm wrong please feel free to tell me after the meeting Wolves is a lot more specialist than BV though. Looking at previous meetings scores I think they will do better than Wolves meeting. I would say, 35-40 ish. I'd be surprised if Ippo scores less than 28 which is what you originally said But not being able to have a guest for Crump could change my prediction slightly (if it is true that every team is riding on Mon - this is why you need odd number of teams in the league, I blame Swindon! ) If r/r who takes JC's rides?

Bradford Ace Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Worst meeting I can remember at the NSS, heat 15 apart. An absolute snoozefest with the track seemingly having no grip at all. Wonder if it has anything to do with the new tyres that all the riders seem to hate?? If it is then hopefully it’s rectified asap cos that really was beyond poor tonight. Still, good win for the Aces though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been like that in all 3 meetings so far, the odd good race here and there but no where near as good as the past. Track looked fine and the racing is usually better the slicker it gets, I do think a lot of it is down to the tyres, riders getting use to them and no comfortable with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 But race times are on a par with previous years, even dropping below 60 in heat 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Softer tyre means more grip and faster times (as Laguta found out in GP last year) but they are wearing faster and tearing so don’t think riders feel comfortable on them.
