I suspect many more will flock through the gates within the next 20 minutes to enjoy some sunny speedway. Surely you get in for free., just like the car park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 Good guest in Lee Complin who rode his socks off and was entertaining. Ace once again showed his great potential. Both Sam and Harry McGurk improved as the meeting progressed, Harry would have had another 2 points when his engine failed with the Comets on a 5-0. Elliot Kelly never lost his confidence even though be was involved in a couple of potentially scary incidents. Hope Crangy is okay he never took his last ride after coming down following taking evasive action to miss Elliot. Hope Josh Embelton is okay, he walked back to the pits but it was a nasty crash into the polyfoam fence. Greg Blair was great for the Bullits and had good support from Danny Philips. Good win for the Comets, historically it's never been easy to win at Shielfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time seeing the Bullets and would say they are missing Halder at reserve and Archie in the team (could they have named Kieran Douglas as number 8 or is his average to high to be a number 8)? One thing I would add is why did Sam never get excluded at the starts? He was moving in all his races and actually touched the tapes in two races. There was a camera behind me and to my right (wonder if facing onto the start line). Would be interesting if it was recording. Referee was not at his best last night (giving wrong results, not giving extra time when riders had two on the spin etc, etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShoe Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 Yeah there was movement at the starts which went unpunished and Sam was definitely rolling on more than one occasion. Agree about the ref, heat 9 where the result was given then changed, then changed again to what was given originally made a right mess of my programme.

Think no 8 has to be 3 point unattached but see Harrison no 8 today 3 point attached 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran is just above 3 from last season so would have been unavailable even though he isn't in any NDL team (wondered if being lower than the 2 reserves would have counted).

It refers to 'not in a declared team'. => Harrison is eligible as Dugard is currently in the named seven at his expense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen and Boxall crashed out in Heat 2 https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/486/vikings-rockets You stopped crying about the number 8 rule yet??? Seems someone is clueless!!!
