Surely this is not the way to entice the fans back..... Utter shambles...... similar situation to last year when promotions decided to change race nights to suit riders (GP's) etc who were not at the AGM which then caused a problem for guest availability later in the season which was not picked up as a possible problem when riders became injured(part of the course) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wright had Lazer treatment on his troublesome shoulder injury and needs some rest apparently. Thanks, had missed that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted August 22, 2019 Harris on a GTR tonight which worked well, on a track that all the riders liked. Hopefully it will be similar next week. Tough on Nuts that his max was denied by a snapped chain in heat 15 whilst leading. Possible heat of the year in heat 9 between Allen, Heeps, Summers and Nicholls 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted August 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Bald Bloke said: It was Barker Tungate and Garrity. Don't know why/ if Barker pulled out. Then it was a Tungate no show, and last few hours Garrity can't get there. Not sure it's Busters fault why those 3 pulled out late. Keep blue sky Buster thinking. He's saving £€$ putting out uncompetitive teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can Buster be responsible for 3 late pull outs?? knowing Buster, he will want answers. Remember Holder and Batch ??.. Did Buster tell Barker he has changed his mind?, or did Barker pull out.?. How did Buster idiot up whatever Tungate did?. How did Buster sabotage Garrity's van ? Who else could of Buster get at short notice when 6 teams out of seven where riding ??? Well?

Bagpuss 10,778 Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Why would Barker be booked in the first place if he was then replaced by a ‘cheaper’ guest Tungate misplaced his passport according to Phil. Andersen, Proctor and Wright injured. Guests hard to come by for everybody. Garrity has form for vans breaking down so lord knows. Plus why save money by putting out a crap team with one of your teams and then potentially lose gate money as a result at one of your other tracks. Other than that I reckon you’re on to something Edited August 23, 2019 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89buttons 751 Posted August 23, 2019 Thought the track was superb last night, hopefully moving forward the weather plays ball and they’ll be able to prepare the track exactly how they wish in the upcoming meetings, clearly enjoyed by the whole team last night! There’s been an torrential rain on the day of or day before most home meetings in recent weeks which can’t of helped track preparation - it’s been different every week and often tricky and greasy on top. i thought the lineup was certainly the best lineup for home meetings yesterday and what Hawkins should’ve gone with straight away when KP dropped to reserve, funny how he needed a few more meetings to realise Heeps and Danny would always want the same piece of track and we could do with pairing a better gater like Lawson with bomber in heat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
