IainB Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Track was poor for racing last night, Edwin may be having a little death in the box (if you know what I mean) because of the race times but it doesn't make for great Speedway racing. And... What on earth is Bomber riding these days? They don't appear to be GM's, I know he's dabbled with GTR's in the past, is he now riding Goddens? Or something else? Is he riding subsidised engines? His e/f in Heat 12 was the turning point in the match, when he came round to the tapes I could see he was on a "new" whatever it is and thought to myself, I hope that doesn't pack up and within yards of leaving the tapes it had.

I've just been looking a some of Jeff Davies' action shots from last night's meeting & there is one of Bomber . He is definitely using G M engines but I can't read who the tuner is I'm afraid.

Yeah he is in that shot but he came out on one for heat 12 with a more rounded top (I'm not a technical person as you can tell lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancarz Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Interesting to read the comments re the track. Attended as a neutral. Thoroughly enjoyed the meeting. I have definitely seen better racing at Peterborough but still thought it was very watchable. A number of the races without passing were still very close. In addition, for there to be no dust on such a hot day was something that the track staff should be proud of. A few digs at Buster Chapman on here but I have also been to Kings Lynn this season and the racing was excellent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bewley's form has dropped right off and since that happend Belle Vue have started to drop points everywhere. Bewley has to go through the card in order for the Aces to take a league point imo.

I wasn't at the first meeting on bank holiday Monday 31 May but was told there was more at that first meeting then Monday even though it was suppose to be restricted! That being said though I thought Monday was a healthy crowd and better then some of the crowds I've seen there in previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there, Grandstand looked fuller due to Covid restrictions, great meeting. I was on holiday in Wisbech so not far to go, but the Belle Vue fans traveling home would surely of had a good journey home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisbech was a far from smooth concrete surface but nowhere near as rough as Crewe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
