acef 795 Posted May 11, 2019 Not sure how tonight will pan out. Rob is out of sorts and out of form whilst Craig has been coasting through the CL without so much as a challenge. That the field is so poor outside of the top 3 and that we have tai will ensure we go through. I hope the racing is better than the start of the season at the NSS because it's not been great and these types of fields with such gaping chasms never help the spectacle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As it goes I'm generally a positive person, unfortunately what I've said above is pretty accurate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoN was supposed to make it easier for "lesser ability " teams to take part in a significant way. Can't see that as more often than not (except in a few rare cases ) they are cannon fodder at worst or no-hopers at best. Bit pointless really these "qualifiers". And no, I am not a Smiths fan.

OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted May 11, 2019 The SoN picked up when it got to the final stage last year, until then it was pretty boring, just like last week in Germany. Tonight may well follow in last weeks footsteps. Ans as for team riding, almost non existent. I know Doyly wont be riding tonight, but he thinks team riding is looking over your shoulder looking for your team mate as you cross the finishing line. Unless Togliatti sets the world on fire it will all be a damp squid, and the track doesnt seem like one thats going to produce classic quality racing.

We will have a chance, Craig goes well around the place. Tonight will be boring imo. While it’s a fair track there are huge gaps in terms of ability. Latvia may have a say but the top 3 are clear as day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,245 Posted May 11, 2019 There was overnight rain and track was ripped up this morning making track very grippy to start practise. It slickened off towards end so should be better for tonight. Just hope Phil Morris doesn’t interfere too much as let’s Andy Meredith get in with it when to water etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s been very grippy which has made it a bit 1 line. The weather hasn’t helped. The top lads tonight with strong motors will sail off into the sunset and passing will be at a premium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as it's not a damp squib, we'll be OK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dornier 794 Posted May 11, 2019 Just had a cloud burst at four o clock and its steady rain now up here in Yorkshire. Dont worry cloud bursts dont last all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garry1603 353 Posted May 11, 2019 Very sunny in Manchester now - might end up being dusty track conditions unless they've heavily watered it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted May 11, 2019 They normally grade every 4 heats & water after 8 even though it rarely says so on the updates site. It normally keeps it in a raceable condition keeping dust non-existent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
