bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted May 21, 2016 Come to Rye house to see some proper speedway! That's not something you see often in the same sentence, Rye House and Proper Speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,134 Posted May 21, 2016 That's not something you see often in the same sentence, Rye House and Proper Speedway. Speedway isn't all about big fast throttle jockey tracks. It's been good this year. No complaints from Rye fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TB1 130 Posted May 21, 2016 Well I was definitely going to this but super blue has put me off, think I will decide tomorrow now, but with British super bikes on the box I probably won't bother either. I think it's finally starting to happen, I'm now not bothered if I see the witches or not. Thanks louis, you are wrecking my love for the sport. If they did pull the plug who would be brave or daft enough to take it on. I've always believed if it's marketed well enough and the team does well then crowds might return. Thanks to spedeworth the old reputation of foxhole is fast disappearing. A number of people have said to me in the last couple of years how much foxhall is improving as a spectator facility. It's just a pity about the dross on offer speed way wise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZODIAK 304 Posted May 21, 2016 Better than what ippo serve up!It's hard to disagree with that and it pains me to say it. When they first widened the track they also made a big effort with the track surface and we saw some good racing. Now the track has been left in a sorry state. Very little material for the riders to race on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No complaints from Rye fans I have been going to Rye since it opened and didn't notice it was any better this year than in previous years. Dusty, super slick and one line right next to the fence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,134 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Rye v Peterborough 16th April There was passing outside & inside, so there's more than just one line Edited May 22, 2016 by Shads 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted May 22, 2016 I've never minded rye house to be honest, yeah sometimes it has been dry house BUT what track is always brilliant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted May 22, 2016 Well I suppose it's what you are used to. As long as you are happy with it, once or twice a season is more than enough for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim3751 88 Posted May 22, 2016 For me it's either 5 miles to Rye or 70 miles to EoES. During the season "layoff" at Lakeside I ventured into new territory hoping to see Craig Cook but the BSPA scuppered that but the meeting was excellent. If the weather is OK I might give it another go. With the attraction of seeing Cook, Kenneth Hansen again as well as King and Kerr (Lakeside) I reckon it tips the balance. Not big foreign "stars" of the EL but enough IMO to make for good racing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
