Scorpions vs Redcar - 6.4.18 - Championship Shield

Recommended Posts

First of all Best Wishes to Steve.

Garrity was class will take some stopping round the EWR if he rides like that all season. Auty also. (Garrity sounded like he was loving every minute of it in his Interview. Scunthorpe signed Garrity as an asset from Peterborough with Palm Toft going the other way)
They were backed up by a great 1 and 2 Partnership in Worrall and Nielsen, Allen looked good after a few bike troubles and Manzares will be fine after a few meetings, Also Danny Phillips looked pretty good despite his score always on the pace and putting in lots effort.

Just one more thing if you see this Rob Thanks for the Shoutout after Heat 1;). You've built a great side this year. Hopefully Steve will be back ASAP.

Great performance from Scunny... we look like a team this year.  Gonna miss Stevie Worrall if initial reports are true.. wishing him all the best for a speedy recovery. That was some race he was having until the crash.

How the incident happen? 

He was having a great tussle with Jonas B Andersen.. Stevie had come from last to first.... then to second.. then back into first...  then Jonas clipped him on bend 2 lap 4, that straightened Stevie up and he ended up going head on into the air fence. Nasty crash.. pure racing incident. Jonas was disqualified as primary cause, perhaps somewhat unfortunately. Just very hard racing from both lads.

Good win by the Scorpions boys, gunna miss Stevie, and I send my best wishes for a speedy recovery.  

Stef did well in his rides. We saw the 'Josh of old' which was really good to see, Jake got going after his first 2 rides..

Jason, full max, what more to be said.. Reserves, was really impressed, Danny, coming back from a broken back did really well and Gino did quite well considering he hasn't raced properly over here for more than 2 years

In a meeting with so many positives 

A fine mild evening fit for Speedway 

The Scorpions living up to the billing

A "good looking crowd

Jason Garrity's debut 15pt maximum! 

A great track surface that Garrity loved !

A 26 point Home win 

Scorpions Heat winners 14 out 15 races 

All the Scorpions playing their part.

A great after the meeting Q & A session for 20 mins in the Club house that all of the riders bar Stevie & Stefan attended ! Thank you guys.

Just one "downer" Stevie Worralls Heat 11 crash that looked nasty chasing Jonas Anderson on the outside going into lap 4; there was just "no give" with Anderson and Stevie ended up pinned up to the air fence and no where to go but right ? ! into the air bag which "blew out alarmingly" as man & machine "went in" at high speed coming to a sudden stop!. It did not look good and there was at least an half hour hold up while they sorted him out in the ambulance on track.

We don't know the outcome ? Josh Auty rightly refused to comment when asked about it during Q &As.. But it looked a sickner and may yet prove an immediate blow to both ourselves and Aces if Stevie is now sidelined for a period ? We will have to wait and see where this takes us. Get well soon Stevie who has a big break through season on the domestic; European and  World circuits.

So lots of positives and we'll take those and the irrepressible Jason Garrity publically promising he and the team were determined "to do the business" for the fans; bodes well indeed. What a character Garrity is. Also Gino seems a real personable club orientated guy keen to do well and get back in to his UK Speedway after two enforced years out. So yes we'll take the positives and go again at Redcar next week. But as good as we are as a  6 minus Stevie; we really must hope that his recovery is full and timely and we are a 7 again just as soon as we can be. Riding a man down already was never a part of the "grand plan" and the sense of "come down" regarding Stevie was like the air coming out of that "exploding air bag!

Wasnt it Phillips that was the Peterborough asset that switched to Scunny

No Phillips was bought out by Newcastle who wasn’t going to use him , so we loaned him . As for stevie Worrall a speedy recovery and I personally thought the Redcar rider was totally at fault , theses guys sling there machines round at full speed but always seem to leave racing room for the opposition rider ‘ that didn’t happen last night ‘ . It will be interesting to see on a replay

This Scunny side will take a lot of beating at home even without Steve mainly because they could have a different top scorer everyweek not reliant on one rider.Can they do it consistently away?? Auty /Garrity/and Allen are key if those three can up there game away i can see it being a great season for the Scorpions.Also with this year you have a great team a great fair  track entertainment second to none and exciting riders in Auty/Allen/Garrity to see ride  everyweek hope the club get the crowds they deserve.

Steve has described JBA as a 'desperate idiot' on Twitter, he certainly has got a bit of a reputation.
