Well i shall go on record as saying thats barmy. So at what stage does a rider graduate from reserve to in the meeting? Original line up listed but two days before rider pulls out does the reserve get the chance to qualify? On the day rider fails to show so rider gets promoted into the meeting but still no chance to qualify? I think there will be a few meetings ahead with no reserves if there is no incentive at all to turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Gutted I can’t get there tonight but work/family etc dictate otherwise. 2 adults missing this due to the above reasons, got to be thankful this meeting is going ahead but this is Redcar’s 4th home meeting on three different days this season. Don’t know whether I’m moaning because I can’t go, or should be thankful that we can race pretty much any day we like. Only thing is by jumping to different days is that it is hard to plan ahead. Good luck to all tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Not a bad meeting, the gulf in class between the top lads and the others meant quite a lot of strung out races. Gilkes a deserved winner, very impressive. Bickley put all his laps around Redcar to good use and Jason Edwards and the Thompson’s impressed. Mentions for Archie Freeman and Ben Trigger who showed real tenacity and gave it a good go. Edited June 17, 2021 by Yearbyred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Freeman and Trigger rode well and bodes well for them in the future. Thought Spencer did well too, first time I have seen him ride and was always in the mix. Decent meeting.

boz Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hard to tell as everyone was so spread out - i'd guess at maybe 200-250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Good showing from a few of the outside chances of Trigger & Freeman plus Simpson would have been closer but not for a last corner fall. Quality showed though and expected qualifiers went through bar the withdrawn Lawlor but Spencer next in the pecking order. Would have been nice to have a little drama with a run off at the end (or would it have been countback?) either way im sure Freeman will learn from the situation and a lot of young riders getting good experience at this level which bodes well for future years.

It would have been a run-off for sixth place, count back for the podium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
