KIRKYLANE Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Good win for Glasgow. Track was causing riders problems….. entertainment value 1 out of 10… riders having difficulty catching up distance.. very little passing after the first half lap. I have never liked the track.Only visited Berwick as part of a trip.. Edinburgh ,Berwick and Glasgow. Biggest track in Britain and biggest bore watching the racing.

Steve Shovlar Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Watched this but not great racing. Harris worth the admission fee alone but a lot of all over by first bend. Kemps ride against Harris was excellent. He is so hot and cold. A good rider in there somewhere trying to get out. As for the heat 15 exclusion, I agree with ref that Harris had to go. He brushed Kemps foot with his dirt deflector, unbalancing Kemp. Tough call but correct. Result never in doubt from heat 11. Berwick had no real answer to Harris and Worrall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjcone44 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 looked a decent crowed in there, meeting was a bit processional, but score going up and down kept it interesting, Sam did keep pushing his luck in that last race, and i think was lucky to get away with a broken tooth, and would of been shook up with smiths bike hitting him full on. tough decision for ref , but it is tight going into that bend, that move did unsettle drew going into that bend. does remind me a bit of the old Workington track.

screm Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Its very unlikely you will ever win a meeting with only 5 race wins, that was Berwick`s un-doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although since the take over at Glasgow , almost 10 years ago now , some of the newer fans have got that football supporter mentality and it is embarrassing at times 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was room for the straights to be twice as wide it'd be an awesome track, the entries and exits to what are pretty awesome bends are just too tight, its a shame. As for Berwick, their season looked pretty promising not that long ago but injuries have wrecked it, as well as Hume and Hodder going completely off the boil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 A good 5 point weekend for us , just what we needed . Both meetings ran a similar course , Berwick in control in the first part of the meeting , then fading out of it when Harris and Worrall took command . Good to see Leon scoring well back on his old stomping ground . Was glad Harris finished second in heat 5 which enabled him to come back out in 6 as a taccy sub That 5-1 with Worrall was the kick start to the win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The straights at Berwick are not narrow the entrance to the bends we’re widened a few seasons ago but unfortunately has not made much difference as there really is only one fast line into the bends(unless your Chris Harris who is just awesome round Shielfield). Most of the decent riders can ride the track and if are in the lead they are going that fast overtaking is at a premium.IMO. The racing line these days is on about metre from the fence it’s daredevil stuff to overtake.IMO.The track is FIM approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be really interesting to see what the reaction would have been if Hagon had been guesting for us and a similar incident had occurred. Some really blinkered, one sided supporters going about these days. As Paulco says, football type fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on trackstaff many moons ago and we had rakes to pull dirt back as there was always plenty from the fence across the track but that seems to be a thing of the past now. Last night was the first time i have ever left 3rd bend to sit in main stand due to the dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
