Thought we'd missed our chance to welcome him after the rain off where he was due to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd better watch out for Lawson & Worrall coz I understand that they are good with a saw! Edited August 16, 2023 by lbw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I fancy some sunshine speedway after thawing out from Monday. But what do people think my chances are to make the 21:44 train back to town as I would rather not drive at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meetings typical finish 9.20-9.30 I find and station not far away, so should be okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With r/r in operation there could be more time between heats so could take a bit longer than usual. In this Piratecast-sponsored meeting I shall be vacating my usual grandstand seat and joining the guests for some hospitality in the glass restaurant/stand. Not a favourite viewing position but I guess once a season is ok - still get to see the pits early and see some heats from centregreen. COYP. I still think this will be a tight meeting, having watched the 'depleted' Bears at Plymouth last night, they were gating very well, although Glads were probably a little 'ring rusty'!

Biffa Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Heard the other night at Redcar that no one apart from officials are now allowed in the centre green, no supporters, sponsors etc. All since the Edinburgh crash. Don’t know if it’s right but Redcar didn’t last Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 There were sponsors on the centre green last week but in a fenced off area in the middle. Chalk lines were running about 5 metres inside the track and no one was allowed closer to the track than that, except the starting track staff. Anyone know if Wright is riding tonight? If not guest or r/r? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
