foamfence 2,917 Posted March 31, 2014 If you are willing to complain you must feel that you can do better, you should have a go then If you've paid to go in you expect a better effort than that and better presentation. I doubt members of the public could have done much worse than some of Redcar's "professionals." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePark 2,780 Posted March 31, 2014 If you've paid to go in you expect a better effort than that and better presentation. I doubt members of the public could have done much worse than some of Redcar's "professionals." In what respect? Before the meeting started Roy kept fans updated to what was happening and did the toss of the coin and during the breaks he interviewed riders from both sides. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedcarRacer 228 Posted March 31, 2014 I enjoyed the Meeting last night (apart from the cold). I agree that it took too long to run the Meeting - but - with injuries to fallen Riders you cannot be too careful I suppose. I would like to congratulate BOTH Teams - and particularly the Track Staff - I think they did a great job getting the Track in to a Raceable state. Times for most Races were not far off normal. Newcastle Riders all did well and well done to Lewis Kerr on his Paid Maximum - let's hope there are many more to come. For Redcar - I thought Lawson looked good when in front but the Rider who impressed me most was the one lots of Redcar Supporters seem to complain about - Carl Wilkinson. His never say die, 100% efforts were much appreciated as he contributed hugely to the entertainment on the Track. I know great effort from Wilko, only fell off twice - well done Carl! Giving those new kevlars a testing early on! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamond_ren 209 Posted March 31, 2014 I know great effort from Wilko, only fell off twice - well done Carl! Giving those new kevlars a testing early It's quite funny I said to my dad before the meeting started Wilko would be the first one off and he proved me right lol (thankfully he didn't get injured) Can't fault his commitment though and he actually got better as the meeting went on, great pass on rosen to win heat 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think you realise how tough speedway actually is, I ride about once a week and not even at the level of these guys and your busy all the time.

HadrianDog 291 Posted April 1, 2014 Good to see the Diamonds triumph on Sunday. The bears look to have problems{am I the only one to think that Summers has reached his final level} Our overall performance bode well for the coming season with young Rose seeming to getting the hang of our tighter circuit. Another effective pick from our management methinks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just so happens I was in heat 1 also hendry 90% got off the bike in heat one with finger tips holding him on . Then blow me people fall in heat 2 . ......etc etc .

You are good to watch and always give 100% can't fault your commitment, you just fall off a lot. Apart from Lawson you mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevePark 2,780 Posted April 1, 2014 you got you're own bike or use Dave's? What? The question is quite a simple one. Do you ride your own machine, or do you use one of the Training School bikes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DIAMONDS 159 Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) The question is quite a simple one. Do you ride your own machine, or do you use one of the Training School bikes? Ohh right, I was confused by the question because I wasn't sure who Dave was (Edited: I know training school Dave just wasn't sure the Dave that was referred to in this question.) I have three bikes of my own but I've never ridden at Newcastle before unfortunately Edited April 1, 2014 by DIAMONDS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
