NJC71 388 Posted April 14, 2013 Cracking meeting tonight with lots of good races on another good track. What a performance from Lewis Kerr on top of two great displays at Scunthorpe & Workington he's had quite a weekend. Amazing how quickly he's taken to Brough, to score a paid max in his third meeting around such a technical track is amazing. Hopefully the scores he’s getting at the moment will show PL promoters that it is worth giving NL riders a chance instead of always bringing in sometimes second rate foreigners. Despite the score I thought Scunthorpe played a full part in an excellent night’s racing. I always enjoy watching Josh Auty and although this wouldn’t rate as his favourite track he was good value as was Jorgensen with both riding better than their points would suggest. Palm Toft though had an off night on a track he normally rides well and Birks found the going tough. Tough though for the opposition to ride here against this side with either Robson, Lindgren, Henry or Richie in every heat who are all top riders around here. If Lewis can ride anything like he did tonight on a consistent basis and we can get Steve back on form we’ll take some stopping with Tully still to come back. Hopefully injuries won’t spoil it this year. Cracking night and a much needed tonic after the horror show earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WTF1 Posted April 14, 2013 What a difference a few month's make with Lewis Kerr a totally different rider from the one that was miles behind in the play off final with Somerset, excellent performance, Was Ryan Douglas injured from Friday's meeting and as previously mentioned has Josh Bates been released by Scunny with him riding for Mildenhall, no news on the Scunny website yet.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted April 14, 2013 What a difference a few month's make with Lewis Kerr a totally different rider from the one that was miles behind in the play off final with Somerset, excellent performance, Was Ryan Douglas injured from Friday's meeting and as previously mentioned has Josh Bates been released by Scunny with him riding for Mildenhall, no news on the Scunny website yet. I understand that he is still with Scunny, but must honour the Mildenhall fixtures as first choice. Josh is definately well worth sticking with and there was not hint of a suggestion that Rob would dispense with the services of Josh in his interview with Josh last Friday.

lucifer sam 3,953 Posted April 15, 2013 Well done to the Diamonds - the best team over the two legs. And well done to Lewis Kerr - fantastic performance from a young British rider. Pity he couldn't have done that against another team, though, rather than us!! The racing was alright, despite the final scoreline. Had a chat with Tsunami afterwards, which went alright, because neither of us mentioned Mrs T. All the best Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbacca 653 Posted April 15, 2013 Some of the tractor racing was due to riders having two on the trot due to rider replacement. Two fairly gentle slide off's and junior losing control barely deserves the Rough Park epithet. I take it no-one has ever fallen off at the the Scunthorpe wonder speedway?

lynnboy 254 Posted April 15, 2013 Big well done to Lewis Kerr!!!! keep this up and he will be wearing the stars race jacket in the elite next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackofdiamonds 53 Posted April 15, 2013 Excellent meeting despite the scoreline. 14 lasts for Scunthorpe was the clincher. I thought Jorgensen was the best visitor, despite having a brown pants moment in heat 15 (broken chain?. Lewis Kerr was sensational. Gating well and riding a fast first bend, once ahead looked calm and safe. Leicester must be feeling they missed a trick letting him go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
