Recommended Posts

Well that was a nice surprise shows that when the middle order and the reserves chip in with some points you can grind out a good result..Well done the whole Lakeside team.....

Did not enjoy that at all.

Drawn out meeting.

C**p racing.

I left before the end.

must admit, that was a hard watch, hopefully not too many first timers put off returning

 

don't think anyone raked bend 1 until after the 14th heat but I could be wrong

According to the texter on Speedway Updates, there wasn't any bleedin shale to actually rake!

Just shows if possible every speedway meeting in all leagues should be run in the evening. Very few can produce a decent track in the day. I'm sure Eastbourne would prefer Sunday afternoon, but even they struggle with the track and the racing is so much better Saturday evening.

Seems to be a worrying trend for a lot of the meetings across the leagues that i have read about so far this season, delays, poor racing and poor track.

When will those that run the sport ever learn?

Right that afternoon meetings are hard to keep dust free etc.

But there is no dirt whatsoever on the Kent track.

A white line appears very early.

Another gripe for me today was to delay the meeting to allow people in...... get there early!!!!!!

I know that falls causes delays that is fair enough.

But today with R/R and team changes,this did not help.

Also after another delay,the riders came out and instead of going straight to the start,they went down the back straight and beyond the first bend ????? why !

And to cap it all,even after all the delays.... still had a interval ?

 

Really poor value for money. :nono:

Is there a petition we can sign to get the old tractor driver back, he was much better!

Lakeside Friday - poor

Eastbourne Friday - decent

Rye House Saturday - poor

Kent today - poor

It hasn't been a good easter for me, racing wise.

Pretty poor show all round today.

 

If I was a first time spectator then I would not be inclined to attend again - poor track, lacklustre racing, delays.

 

Bring back Shanes and Ayres !!

Have not seen a decent track yet this season Lakeside was passable and heard Easty was ok..And no one seems to be bothered about running a slick meeting...In fact the word slick now means concrete bend. None of which does the sport any favours..
