I have checked the Met office site & that shows it will be ok , the BBC however shows Thunderstorms ,

!,!

BBC weather was sold off to the highest bidder a few years ago and is now run by a bloke who just looks out his window and takes a guess! About as reliable as a Bears second string! (Only joking lads).

At the track now and it’s dry but threatening to rain. Track looks great.

Edit: now watering the track but no parade.

Why Birmingham not use sedgy as TS in heat 7? Redcar fans any happier with your 2nd strings?

I thought heat 7 was protected? Or is/ was that just the PL?

Fairly run of the mill meeting but worth the entrance fee to watch King Charles blast around the boards in Heat 15.

Bears still have the same issues as previous meetings, but I thought Bailey rode better than Hume , despite scoring less points. Mulford is obviously a concern , he just can’t get out of the gate to give himself a chance. Not many 2 pointers to choose from so I’d stick with him a bit longer.

For the Brummies, Sedgmen was superb until the last heat and Bowtell and Pearson  rode well. Morris had a disastrous night and if he’d been anywhere near on it the score could have been much different.

Much closer than most predicted   ,I think that if all the brum riders could perform on the same night things could get better.

Think most Redcar fans didn’t have us as favourites for anything as we knew how well everyone rides our track.

Think you could say the same about the Bears, but yes the Brummies put on a good performance tonight and was definitely more encouraging for them.

Charles Wright in Heat 15 was breathtaking, doubt you will see a better race all season

It's interesting what you say as a (temporary) Leicester fan. In amongst a glittering list of names, Max Frick, Bomber and so on, Justin is surely the Lions signing of the year. He's scoring solidly in every meeting and seems to fear no one. Nick, on the other hand, who rode for the Lions last year, looks frustrated and possibly unsure what to do to regain his form. Belle Vue, recently grabbed a draw when we were 6 up with 2 to go and then won the Super(fluous) heat. Fair play to Nick, he "fronted it up" in the post meeting interviews but he was so upset that he couldn't speak. I wasn't cross, I really felt for him because it appeared he couldn't understand what had just happened. Maybe it's to do with his motors, I don't know. But I sense he's very competitive and it won't be long before we see him scoring good points again.

According to posts on twitter, track covers were used to get this meeting on. Didn't know Redcar had track covers, how long has this been going on?

Jason Edwards said on the stream last night they bought them of Newcastle
