gaptooth 136 Posted June 22, 2015 So how come 1 heat after a lengthy interval the track staff needed to spend a further 10 minutes on the track?? Probably the worst stop start meeting I've seen. Ffs keep dugard off the tractor . Just started to get reasonable crowds but they won't keep coming if he keeps boring us all with tractor racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackett 220 Posted June 22, 2015 Thought the tractor racing got a tad excessive yesterday BUT to be fair they needed to keep the dust down. As soon as they wet the surface the wind dried it. No more so when Tom Perry tried to go round the outside couldn't see anything , lost it completely and disappeared onto the infield. Decent result for Eagles without being near their best but Brummies so clearly a 3 man team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catinthehat 115 Posted June 22, 2015 I was told yesterday by Martin who seems to understand the tractor problems with his father and said he is looking into it, He also said they are looking into a different track surface now they have a break for a few weeks, he did point out the dust that was produced yeserday was really a matter of the wind and the sunshine together but the biggest problem was the ref, not only did she walk past me yesterday carrying a wodden stall to stand on and look over the bench to see the racing, What a long meeting it turned out to be? The ref Barbara Horley needs to go and move on as she was the ref that screwed the meeting up at Kent, i was told she is no longer be a ref at Rye House, She screwed another meeting up at Mildenhall when she was there #worserefever. Also now i have that moan out the way, Birmingham are top of the tree at the moment, you can see that they are a very top heavy side but regarding the riders that didnt score that well is just the norm for them, Good racing from Birmingham and from what i can see was the right result yesterday. Dugard fell while leading 3 points lost Andrews fell 2 points lost BWD fell twice 4 points lost so 9 points wasted, but on the other hand perry beat mason on the run to the line but the blind ref gave it to mason? Roll on the next round and a run on the road will see the Eagles pick up some wanted points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the start of the season it was the Connor and Martin show, now slowly but surely it is turning into the bob show again. All of these delays are undermining the eagles new NL era.

catinthehat 115 Posted June 22, 2015 So many complaints about the time it take to run the meeting wont surprise me if Martin is there watching the meeting and keeping control of the tractor keys i thought that the meeting was a very drawn out meeting and at least half hour could be cut off that time, A few weeks time will be the test when coventry are down. The Eagles will fly again just the weight of the tractor is stopping them take off. My mate talked to Mr Dury who was going crazy in the pits about the track time and he also said he had talked to Martin about it who was 100% agreed to get him off the track. Maybe a 7pm start would run a faster meeting and all be done by 9.30 wont be much later then i get home now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted June 22, 2015 Wouldn't be suprised Iif Kelsey walked away from speedway. Oh come on.... He's on his first season and is doing much better than many other reserves! Never heard anything quite so stupid! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted June 22, 2015 Wouldn't be suprised Iif Kelsey walked away from speedway. Wouldn't blame him if his own supporters don't get off his back. The lad has speedway running through his veins and is having a great first season. Yeah a few mistakes, over eagerness etc but that's all part of the learning curve. Kelsey won't walk but he might be driven away unless his own fans get behind him.......don't forget Niall Strudwick would probably take his place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You putting that on a forum he can easily read doesn't help either.... You have to start somewhere. He is class compare to Adam Kirby and Danno Verge so there is no reason for him to be under pressure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted June 22, 2015 niall i believe he recorded a time of 67 seconds yesterday. Thats 6 seconds slower than Dugard. 60 seconds a race divide by 4 laps 15 seconds a lap meaning Niall is nearly half a lap behind Kelsey. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaptooth 136 Posted June 22, 2015 You needn't worry about my remarks being read by Kelsey. I had a long talk with him yesterday hence why I know what I'm talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
