Barker charged under Lawson and fenced him!

I'd hardly say he fenced him, if the shoe were on the other foot I'd fancy Lawson would do the same. It's racing! Looked the right decision albeit I didn't see a replay to see if actual contact was made but fencing him it really wasn't.

As far as the stream went I thought it was really good, I'd say the commentators were really enthusiastic but perhaps a bit too one sided (and I'm a Plymouth fan). Either way I was really pleased with the production as a whole and will definitely use it again (not tomorrow though as Poole will thump us).

I continue to despair at the track prep though, why oh why Plymouth continue to make the track so slick when firstly we seldom out-gate other teams and secondly it means racing is generally done by bend 2. You can see the track is so much smoother these days which is brilliant to see but seriously put some dirt on it and let them actually pass each other.

Dan Gilkes though, what a hero! Looks a hell of a signing!

Dirty Barker fenced Lawson. Exc finger pointing.

I didn't think it was that bad! Bit hard to tell on the camera angle.

The point is Barker was out of control (Not for the first time) on one wheel and he lost it inside of Lawson taking him down.

Okay fair enough. I didn't see a replay, just in real time. But I would say for Barker that was quite fair!

Had no issues other than voices in the pits out of sync by about a second. Other that that it was all good.

Barker is not dirty rider IMO,just a nutcase at times.

:D

Anyway I enjoyed watching the stream and I don't mind the commentators being a bit biased, it's good to hear thoughts and opinions from the opposition side of things. I thought it was good. Good racing, unpredictable meeting. :t:

Agreed, Barker despite having his issues at times off track is pure box office on it and dirty he is not.
