CatAndy 9 Posted August 26, 2019 Delighted to see Dan break the track record today. Times are usually nowhere near so I wondered if I would ever see NKI's time bettered but Dan showed us all today that he's still on course to be a major force. Well done, the boy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clerk of course walked up to him and told him he had to leave and he didn’t, so clerk of the course pulled his cut out. Two riders came round to the start line , they probably didn’t hear the announcement . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Lambert rode around aswell but he didn't stop and went straight back to pits, as well as announcment the red lights were flashing and the start marshall was holding red flag which Cook went past and started gardening, thats when clerk of course went up to him.

Regular fans understand and will tolerate the watering delays but first timers may take a different view. At a rough guess, the attendance was about 2,500. That's about double Belle Vue's usual attendance. The way I see it, they'd be crazy to change from the 12pm starts on bank holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also a lot easier travelling home as the motorways were open and they're usually closed after 10pm these days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no way the council will let Speedway and stock cars on at the same time..... Where would both crowds park ????? Thai is why it is a 1200 hrs start 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SR1953 6 Posted August 26, 2019 As a fan no longer with a team to support, I decided to take the long journey for my first visit to the NSS. I seem to have picked the worst meeting they've had! It wasn't good, certainly, but I half-expected it because of the time of day and the weather - added to which King's Lynn were disappointingly uncompetitive. However I was mightily impressed with the stadium and, in fact, extremely jealous. On the whole, I enjoyed my visit. Incidentally, I didn't think there was anything wrong with Craig Cook's behaviour. I was getting pretty impatient myself! One more thing - can a BV fan tell me whether Lidsey is one who only wins when he gates, or does he come from the back? Today, his one poor gate was his one last place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted August 26, 2019 On the Odsal thread, someone posted it would possibly be a good idea for Stox & Speedway personnel look into the use of Odsal as Stox was finishing this year at the greyhound track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still a stopwatch. I knew dan could have done it. I tweeted before they announced saying that was quick. I was not surprised it was a TR. Sometimes you just know. And dan knew to as he diddnt shut off before the line. He carried on into bend 2. So he knew he was quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
