Some of the cambers/banking has been changed, best Speedway I've seen around BP vs Brum... let's hope that wasn't a flash in the pan 🤞 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing from an Ipswich perspective! We go there next week and it’s a track we go very well on. All the riders seem to score heavily there so it’ll be interesting to see if that changes things. Glad you have a live stream, will be tuning in and looking forward to seeing if the racing has improved due to the changes.

Emil, Doyle, Brennan and Dan all fly around there usually. Wonder if this has put a spoke in the pigeon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:58 PM Gotta go for a home win here. Really not sure about Belle Vue away from the NSS. Leicester by 10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should follow somebody other than Belle Vue then 😁 Give Sheffield a go, they're usually good value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted Thursday at 06:58 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:58 AM Well if Bham can run them close, why wouldn't BV be confident of going one better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted Thursday at 09:03 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:03 AM LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Sam Hagon. BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Jaimon Lidsey, Zach Cook, Dan Bewley, Tate Zischke, Jake Mulford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Lions to win, Fricke has to get the better of both Kurtz & Bewley. If its close going into the last three heats, The Aces top end fire power is likely to see them through. (Ditto these comments for the visit of the Witches next week as well). The performance of Kemp will also be key as it is highly likely that he will need to have five rides as I'm expecting the usual return from our number seven.

TTT Posted Thursday at 12:51 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:51 PM Lions roar. Aces have got top end firepower but I doubt that'll be enough unless Zischke finally gets his campaign up and running tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted Thursday at 02:50 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:50 PM Depends on the form of Fricke & Lidsey for me, I've seen the Aces at Beaumont Park when neither Bewley not Kurtz could get near Fricke but Bewley was unbeaten in the playoff final. You'd expect the Aces top two to have the edge over the rest of the Lions septet but if Lidsey doesn't chip in with a few wins I can't see Aces keeping it close enough in the first 12 heats to have a chance at the end. Blodorn could be a bit of trump card, I think he's said previously that Beaumont Park is his favourite away track. Don't expect much from Aces reserves, has Zischke ever ridden at Leicester before?

Col Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM Blimey car park gets full quick. Hardly any spaces left at 6:15. Second time I've needed petrol when getting here, second time I've driven the wrong way down a one way system to get to the Tesco petrol station. The people of Leicester pay 6 p more a little than the people of Cannock for petrol. Or is Tesco usually that much more expensive than Sainsburys for petrol? The start marshall is the same chap as he guy who used to do it at the EoESg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 ‘passes’ because the riders in front went far too wide and gifted it. More dirt on M1 then inside half of track, anyone who goes looking for bit of dirt on outside goes backwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track prep was poor again tonight, far too dry, not enough moisture in the track. With a track like ours it needs to be prepared perfectly as it can't rely on it's shape alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
