A ORLOV 8,628 Posted March 26, 2014 Hope this is on as all other meetings tonight are rained off. My forecast says no rain but cold, the same as Swindon tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted March 26, 2014 Meeting definitely on - clear sky, but pretty nippy. Poole by 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Had Enough 233 Posted March 26, 2014 Poole's webmaster should be back from his hols so race updates will be resumed via the Poole twitter feed and website forum. Last tweet 12 hours ago - not very helpful when it's a recognised and popular media outlet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted March 26, 2014 Tracks much better than last year - 2 overtaking manoeuvres in 3 heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,659 Posted March 26, 2014 #SackLeeSmart And I said Milik's 4 average was fair and correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted March 26, 2014 And I said Milik's 4 average was fair and correct He's making a mockery of his 4 point average tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted March 26, 2014 I think perhaps one or two creamed their pants about him a little prematurely after last Friday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superguest 194 Posted March 26, 2014 Ward and Milik testing equipment? Scarily, even with only 3 from ward and nothing form Milik, they will probably still win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted March 26, 2014 Ward and Milik testing equipment? Scarily, even with only 3 from ward and nothing form Milik, they will probably still win! That can probably be balanced up by retirements for PK and Watt and only giving Ellis four rides. Excellent paid nine for him, the standout performance and really encouraging to see a young Brit outscoring two reserves with much more experience on their own track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted March 26, 2014 Josh has scored 8 points tonight & beat Ward(Ret), Lawson(twice), Morley, Smart, Watt(Ret), Ellis & Newman which just goes to show how a 2nd string can easily up their average in this new format. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted March 26, 2014 Very cold tonight but luckily the rain stayed away and we were treated to an excellent race strip. Some very entertaining races. Pirates were certainly testing and gave away a load of points but isn't the first meeting of the season for testing and getting equipment sorted out in competitive action? For Poole. Ward didn't manage a lap in his first two rides. Then was unstoppable. Josh was very good value. Shamek was excellent, though threw away a silly point in heat 15 by wanting to ride an inch from the fence which sucked him in in the end. Millik had a night to forget. Didn't leave the tapes in his first, missed out compoletely in his second, forgot to turn his fuel on in his third before finally running a good second to Beck in his last, Magic was very good. Newman and Smart both did their job. For Lakeside PK started well but faded. Lawson got a heat win. Bridger was his usual self. Lots of hanging off the bike loking good but not winning. Beck was the best visitor by a mile. Very entertaining. Watt flattered to deceive. Ellis and Morely did their job, pretty even between the reserves. A decent nights entertainment. Biggest pain was the program. The gates were completely wrong and need sorting asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted March 26, 2014 Feel for Davy Watt who, I understand, blew a brand new PJR tuned engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gates were wrong in the programme because the programme editor was not advised of them til after it went to print................. RP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
