Historian Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 45 minutes ago, GiveusaB said: At the end of the day....if the Promotion are losing money with every match? Why would they want us to make the Play-Offs ? I believe Brum had a sponsor for last nights meeting. The crowd looked a bit down on last week only to be expected after last weeks farce but the upstairs stand looked more full than recent weeks. The track was ok well watered with the exception of the patch on B1, created dust every time the riders hit it, diliberately left dry because that patch had been bladed last week and the top layer removed which may have turned soft had it been watered. Good nights racing most heats providing some interest, very enjoyable . Chris Harris was in superb form, coming from the back in each ride, a joy to watch, rode the air fence all night and made a sensational pass in ht 6 riding the fence on B1 & B2 to pass both Monarchs. He would have got a max if only he could gate, only beaten by the opposition because they rode his line by the fence. Valatin Grobauer you are the weakest link , goodbye. Thought Monarchs Josh Pickering a bit of a disapointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Harris, Worrall and Masters riding hard, fast and high into the airfence last night, it just proves Redcars stand off last week was unjustifiable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it? A track can be prepared differently week on week. Id imagine Tuesday's downpour did the track wonders! Having seen other photos now it certainly looks an improvement Edited September 16, 2021 by Marshall07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway not that anything is likely to happen or change, but apparently the whole issue is under investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fast track can still be dangerous. The person in front can pick a "raceable" line. It's the other 3 bucking around and struggling to turn on the other lines that is the issue!

MartinBSN Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I will add though that some photos from last night show the track looking really good! Smooth, no ruts and evenly watered (apart from bend 1 as @Historian pointed out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to know what would've happened had we lost 53-37 instead of 52-38. In that scenario, the F and A pts would've been: Edinburgh 909 - 880 Scunny 908 - 879 Both teams on +29. Would Edinburgh be declared above Scunny, due to one extra race point having been scored (909 vs 908)? Or would another tiebreak method have been used?

Having observed how Godfrey's mind works over the last few years, he'd have probably gone with the results between the two teams... you beat them 52-38 at your place and they beat you 54-36 at the EWR. Ergo, Scunny qualify having scored more points over the two matches this year. However, that wasn't needed, so well done. Hope we can join you in the playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
