Bandits4eva 990 Posted August 29, 2021 What a meeting… I’d throw my money at that place every week if it was closer. If you’d asked me before the meeting what I thought we’d do , I’d have said probably a 12-14 point defeat. To come away with a draw from one of the best teams in the league is something we should be over the moon with.. but I’m truly gutted! Gutted the way it went down… gutted for our team who I believe exceeded expectations (other than Normski who is Mr.Optimistic and believed we would get the win ).. Leon absolutely busting his balls knew he had MPT on the inside of him and had to stay on the quicker outside line…. I’m just truly gutted he couldn’t get the finish across the line for the team that he so wanted! The main thing is he got up and walked away from that. He has been one of the stars of the British Speedway season and the absolute star of ours! 2 away points is a great days work and although the win just eluded us, it made it a swift journey home 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandit59 1,143 Posted August 29, 2021 Do Redcar do Dvd if so would be interested what you think 3 best meeting this year thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,603 Posted August 29, 2021 An outstanding meeting, great racing, a dramatic finish, a well prepared track, a good atmosphere. My third visit to Redcar this season and they've all been top quality, but today was really exceptional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebaker 199 Posted August 29, 2021 Have been riding our luck for the two previous home meetings. Thankfully Busk Jakobsen and Summers had a poor meeting. Tac sub should of been used in heat 10. Personally think that Sarjeant should of been released. Is a journeyman. Rowe may of been struggling. But has far more potential. Top marks to Leon Flint. Did remarkably well, to hold on. As long as he did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did remarkably well, to hold on. As long as he did. Tac sub couldn't be used in heat 10. Sarj needed a third ride as his tapes exclusion is classed as a frustrated ride. Rowe didn't show that potential having been outscored by the "journeyman" in nearly every meeting from a much tougher team position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 5,993 Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Wow, when the said what the score was at Poole I was surprised! I thought it was a nailed on home win. Haven't seen any of the meeting details but well done Berwick! Edited August 29, 2021 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to enjoy my occasional visit to Owlerton the speed they go when you are have gotten used to watching riders struggle to turn the bike inside out at Monmore. Thought Tigers v Aces was good, earlier this year but when Panthers visited with Harris at reserve it was poor. 31 minutes ago, Robinh88 said: Best track in the country imho.

Haven't seen any of the meeting details but well done Berwick! You probably don't know, how fair the Redcar track is and how much, the away riders, can't wait to get to work on it. I fancied Berwick to do well today, so many riders with MPA experience. So it was no surprise. We have been living on the edge at home all season and I don't expect us, to go very far in the play offs (if we get there). Some of the Redcar riders, don't seem set up for the early part of the meeting and come to life, in the second half, ( you cannot do that and not get caught out, eventually) when the track has slicked off. The motors seem to be running too fast and spinning up (especially out of the starts). The answer being to " kill the motor" or start the meeting with the track a bit slicker. The way it is right now, you have little, or no chance, of building an advantage to take to another track. Well done to Berwick though, it was a great meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
