mikebaker Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Have been riding our luck for the two previous home meetings. Thankfully Busk Jakobsen and Summers had a poor meeting. Tac sub should of been used in heat 10. Personally think that Sarjeant should of been released. Is a journeyman. Rowe may of been struggling. But has far more potential. Top marks to Leon Flint. Did remarkably well, to hold on. As long as he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarj needed a third ride as his tapes exclusion is classed as a frustrated ride. Rowe didn't show that potential having been outscored by the "journeyman" in nearly every meeting from a much tougher team position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get his third ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Wow, when the said what the score was at Poole I was surprised! I thought it was a nailed on home win. Haven't seen any of the meeting details but well done Berwick! Edited August 29, 2021 by lisa-colette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’d asked me before the meeting what I thought we’d do , I’d have said probably a 12-14 point defeat. To come away with a draw from one of the best teams in the league is something we should be over the moon with.. but I’m truly gutted! Gutted the way it went down… gutted for our team who I believe exceeded expectations (other than Normski who is Mr.Optimistic and believed we would get the win ).. Leon absolutely busting his balls knew he had MPT on the inside of him and had to stay on the quicker outside line…. I’m just truly gutted he couldn’t get the finish across the line for the team that he so wanted! The main thing is he got up and walked away from that. He has been one of the stars of the British Speedway season and the absolute star of ours! 2 away points is a great days work and although the win just eluded us, it made it a swift journey home It certainly beats what we watch at Shielfield hands down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to enjoy my occasional visit to Owlerton the speed they go when you are have gotten used to watching riders struggle to turn the bike inside out at Monmore. Thought Tigers v Aces was good, earlier this year but when Panthers visited with Harris at reserve it was poor. 31 minutes ago, Robinh88 said: Best track in the country imho.

You probably don't know, how fair the Redcar track is and how much, the away riders, can't wait to get to work on it. I fancied Berwick to do well today, so many riders with MPA experience. So it was no surprise. We have been living on the edge at home all season and I don't expect us, to go very far in the play offs (if we get there). Some of the Redcar riders, don't seem set up for the early part of the meeting and come to life, in the second half, ( you cannot do that and not get caught out, eventually) when the track has slicked off. The motors seem to be running too fast and spinning up (especially out of the starts). The answer being to " kill the motor" or start the meeting with the track a bit slicker. The way it is right now, you have little, or no chance, of building an advantage to take to another track. Well done to Berwick though, it was a great meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I haven't really seen the Redcar track. Only the odd race posted on SM to show how well Basso did there the other week. But from what I've seen it does look really good!

glenantony Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Another track ticked off for me - that's 9 new ones this year - and once again I was really impressed. Good atmosphere, friendly people and some great racing. Sat in the Royal Box and benefitted from being able to see the pits clearly as well as the track. I also thought the track staff did a great job, making the outside so attractive for the riders really brought the racing alive. Thanks Redcar - let's spread some positive vibes for once ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
