Why was there no grading or watering? Could have done a TS in H6 but Douglas out so maybe not. Also H7 but we got a 5-1 anyway so wouldn't have done any better. I think they were waiting for H9.

Why was there no grading or watering? Because the track was well prepared prior to the meeting so it didn’t need it, meaning the meeting was done in 1hr and 20 minutes including a few re runs ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I've always been of the opinion that you use it at the first opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Disagree with that! You need to time it right imo and also have best 2 riders, so sometimes you can't do it straight away. Very rarely to you see anyone in the Championship do it straight away! Most wait til they are strongest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh1218 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 The Scorpions would have lost this meeting last season,the difference in having a top heat leader in Ryan Douglas is massive . The team is back upto strength now but there a slight break in fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you risk the opportunity being lost and losing the meeting by a point Poole's top three can beat anyone anywhere IMO so there shouldn't ever be a reason not to use a TS as soon as you can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say that now! Still think they were waiting to do it in H9 and replace one of the reserves that was out with Lawson with Steve. Considering Zach struggled in his first two rides, who'd have thought he'd pop out and win H8? I didn't think we were going to get a 5-1 in that one!

Maybe not, but you would hope Steve would and his partner get a third. Maybe Danny really wanted to do H15 idk, but was kinda surprised with the choice as second lowest scorer!

Well not really hindsight I was surprise at the time , Worral had already beaten Allen and Kennedy in heat 3, overtaken Allen and getting one of the fastest time for along time round ewr 56.46, Zach looked well off the pace in his first one. It was golden opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the only rider that beat Douglas all night was King so that is why he would have been my choice in heat 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Danny King changed bikes after his first races so I hope he sticks with them and sends the other (new?) one back to the tuner!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only just! He didn't make it easy for himself going so deep in the bends but seemed to have more straight line speed than Dougie. Maybe I'm being overly harsh idk, I was just surprised considering he was struggling most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray c Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Any way there was a lot of decent racing that track last night which you often see else where one race reminded me of the loram hamill race of a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
