Trees 2,814 Posted April 20, 2017 I guess you could say Lynn is a traditional speedway shape but it doesn't seem to suit modern day bikes and riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colin wood 249 Posted April 20, 2017 Surely its down to the material on the track and preparation.Its a great size and shape so why isn't it producing good racing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 913 Posted April 20, 2017 Similar to Sheffield where ive seen nothing but follow the leader when ive gone over there, along with Kings Lynn it used to be a fantasic race track producing great racing on a regular basis, the tracks are pretty much as they were strange how both now seem to struggle to put on good meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted April 20, 2017 Chris Holder has made it quite clear he doesn't like grippy tracks. The track needs to be slick and without a single bump to suit him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted April 20, 2017 Track good or bad is there for both teams to race, Belle Vue were just better than Lynn on the night. As a team I recon we are definitely putting the gauntlet down. So proud of all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,659 Posted April 20, 2017 The day after the night before - and I'm still fookin angry I expected defeat but the major of defeat was totally embarrassing. We just could not gate, heats being over in the first 20mtrs. The difference last night was Cook and Holder - chalk and cheese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrss 691 Posted April 20, 2017 I am beginning to wonder why I bother with speedway. Saturday night at Rye House was dire. Last night at Lynn it was worse. 1 notable pass all night. Will think long and hard before I go again , the racing at both tracks was terrible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sneezy 21 Posted April 20, 2017 Went as a neutral,thought we would see good racing, it was dire,couldn't believe we were charged to have a seat,in an open freezing cold, cramped dirty stand! There also seemed no atmosphere at all. What a waste of money! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 351 Posted April 20, 2017 Most comments here are spot on. Short interval was announced, seemed to equate to 20 mins. That should be the norm, so expected maybe 10 mins. Meeting did run at a good pace other than and unnecessarily long wait for heat 15. Don't think you can blame mic man, he just trying to inject some atmosphere. Poor racing on a cold night ain't gonna help. Deffo think the corners need to come in a bit to give more racing lines that are hopefully better suited to modern bikes. Stars will need to find their gating gloves and quick. Impressed with how good cook looked last night, didn't look like dropping a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STARRGAZER1 29 Posted April 20, 2017 Outgated and outridden. Well done to Belle Vue. Most races over after first bend. Stopped going to Elite League mid- way through 2016 season. If this is the standard of entertainment that we are going to get at Lynn money is better kept in my pocket. Only one notable pass all night.. . Will give a couple more meetings a try.

bellevueace 913 Posted April 20, 2017 With comments that we have been getting especially from Stars fans Buster really needs to act to provide the sort of entertainment Lynn used to be well known for. Its crazy for any businessman not to provide what his paying customers want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted April 20, 2017 Surely its down to the material on the track and preparation.Its a great size and shape so why isn't it producing good racing?The pass that Robert made was top draw, great track craft, but years ago we used to see riders execute proper cut backs, two riders taking different lines and passing over and over again etc. They are able to just bomb off now, make no mistake and that's it. I would be talking to Mort and Gordon about their BV track plans .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be talking to Mort and Gordon about their BV track plans .... I've got a feeling that Morton and Gordon would tell Buster sod all about any track plans. PS If you want to see racing like you describe above do yourself a favour and buy yourself a copy of the Peter Craven memorial trophy DVD from Clean cut sports.Stunning racing and Batch was in the thick of it.

MrMungo 708 Posted April 20, 2017 Don't remember Puk ever getting 5 at home. Holder will get better he is generally not at his best early in the season. http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/13367/kings-lynn-poole-2014-30pm Against your side, too! Iversen was for the large part very consistent for Lynn especially since his resurgence, but just like anyone he had his off days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
