Also once IRR came into play, I can’t see the logic of using Gino in heat 9 or Phillips in heat 14. Yes to Jake It gave flexibility on him being able to take the RR ride later if needed. The Phillips one confused us as well, although they announced early on that Manzares had a plane to catch from Stansted at 7am and with the meeting delayed a fair bit he may have been struggling to get away in time if he’d ridden heat 14. His van was down and ready to go before heat 15. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't hear start of it but think jist was that in widening the track they had to dig into the old base and with the weather they haven't been able to get it right. He thanked track staff and everyone who helped particularly over the last week including Doc Bridgett and he got a round of applause from the crowd. Theres and interview with Chris Harris on Glasgow facebook worth watching were he also touches on the track problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SharpenRake 1,505 Posted June 3, 2018 Meant to say earlier but Workington was on my mind some really good racing after the first few heats with Aaron, auty and Allen giving it a go. Track still not perfect but getting there. We have a decent run of Friday matches coming up and with last nights draw things are looking up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
