TTT Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Get a move on Barbs. Emmerdale starts in 20 Minutes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 And of course a fortunate 5-1 in the re run. In terms of the racing and keeping the track moist why change the start time from half seven to 5pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Sack Barbara Horley for the sake of the sport, 30 Minute delay because she's not capable of putting the red light on when the tapes didn't go up fairly. Beyond amateurish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Looks like this group is suddenly in the hands of Lynn to who makes the final,,, when it was looking odds on to be Panthers,, unless Lynn throw away this away win Edited April 18, 2022 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buster has anything to do with track prep, racing is usually dire!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Wouldn't worry about today's result. Lot's of positives to take from today imo, To keep the meeting that close with our key team member being absent and our No.1 withdrawing from the meeting is some achievement against a full strength KL side.

Noodles Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Horley can't see the tapes malfunction directly in front of her but can spot a tiny red light on a phone on bend 3. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Nicholls & Harris have weaker aves in the Prem, they are stronger than MPT in the Champ, so can't say they were weakened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Absolutely acknowledge that it would have been very different with Basso there and MPT uninjured but that win was thoroughly deserved and should have been by more really but for Iversen and then Worrall suffering gremlins in point scoring positions. Lynn were far sharper out of the gate as shown by eleven heat winners, have seen much better racing at the EoES but it got a bit better towards the end with some good tussles.

Arch Stanton Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Such a shame for Lynn that Iversen isn’t going to hang around (as yet anyway). With him there, Lynn look a very good side. Strong top end with Iversen, Lawson and Pickering all potential double figure scorers, and a powerhouse reserve. That adds up to a very dangerous side. The fly in the ointment is obviously the Iversen/Kildermand situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismorton Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Lynn deserved to win. panthers were missing the starts then in some races tripping over each other and making some silly desperate moves. Very poor performance and didn't see much team talking going on in the pits. On top of this track had no outside line until heat 13 and the delays were painful...as was one of the Refs decision. Also have the rules changed again? as based on last year's rules Iverson should have been excluded...either way Lynn still deserved the win as they wanted it more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lynn win was throughly deserved and they were generally quicker out of the starts. The track was prepared superslick again which suited Lynn that coupled with a bad crash for MPT, our best reserve missing the meeting and a referee whose decisions sometimes suggest she should have been retired years ago all came together to make for a perfect storm. Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Well done to King's Lynn. Poor day at the office and losing MPT after already being without Basso who won his qualifier didn't help. Pike Palin looked like a wobbler today he's very inconsistent the lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Will they go with a Guest or RR for MPT Thursday at Lynn, maybe Ryan Douglas but no doubt it will be either Riss or just go with RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Bit miffed at at people saying slick track suited Lynn,,, the Panthers were pretty good at Foxhall on a very slick track,,, but then again,, they were only up against Ipswich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Another fine example of how not to run a Speedway meeting. Two and a half hours for 15 (well 16 thanks to Babs) races is not a great advert. Well said Buster when he came on the mike. Well done also to King’s Lynn who deserved to win. Hope MPT is ok after a nasty fall. Edited April 18, 2022 by WembleyLion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
