IainB Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 To be fair the track looks as though it's riding OK, credit to the track staff... never in doubt Will be interesting to see how the track progresses as they're normally riding the fence after a few races, will take a brave boy to go out there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I know it's "done thing" to have r/r at 2 but Edwards and Andersen is a very weak pairing to have away from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) First of all big well done to the track staff on working very hard to get the meeting on. Lots of track work and an hours delay. Huge crowd in the stadium and it would probably have been even bigger but for the rain leading up to the meeting. The track rode well. Lawson said in the press conference that he enjoyed the track and there was a fine line to get on once leading mid track. Too far out and sloppy, too far in and slippery. Ben Cook again rider of the night and next season wants to ride both leagues. Held back this year due to visa not allowing it. He had to turn down guest bookings. Pirates have a brand new mascot in Magic Pirate, who got swamped by the kids for photos. Crowd very loud, everyone went home very happy. Well done to the Redcar fans for making the very long trip down, after their rainoff at Plymouth yesterday. Unfortunately their team underperformed and it was pretty much one way traffic. Expected it to be a closer meeting but they had no answer. Next week the Championship Riders meeting.

Presumably bcoz no1 is your best rider and they can carry the other riders coming in for the rr ride and plus ht8 for the rider replacement as the rider above who’s out should be an easier heat on paper,weirdly I was having the same discussion tonight lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to heat 8 being a 'protected' heat?. If Riss had been fit he would never be at 2. If within the rules then very clever by the Redcar management.

I'm fully aware of that but it doesn't detract from the fact that if Riss was fit to race, no way would he have been at 2!! No real complaint from me. Clever team management as i said. Just an observation about heat 8. Edited August 18, 2022 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
