Bagpuss 10,778 Posted June 18, 2022 I've always been of the opinion that you use it at the first opportunity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,022 Posted June 18, 2022 Disagree with that! You need to time it right imo and also have best 2 riders, so sometimes you can't do it straight away. Very rarely to you see anyone in the Championship do it straight away! Most wait til they are strongest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tosh1218 592 Posted June 18, 2022 The Scorpions would have lost this meeting last season,the difference in having a top heat leader in Ryan Douglas is massive . The team is back upto strength now but there a slight break in fixtures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then you risk the opportunity being lost and losing the meeting by a point Poole's top three can beat anyone anywhere IMO so there shouldn't ever be a reason not to use a TS as soon as you can. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy to say that now! Still think they were waiting to do it in H9 and replace one of the reserves that was out with Lawson with Steve. Considering Zach struggled in his first two rides, who'd have thought he'd pop out and win H8? I didn't think we were going to get a 5-1 in that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Danny really wanted to do H15 idk, but was kinda surprised with the choice as second lowest scorer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well not really hindsight I was surprise at the time , Worral had already beaten Allen and Kennedy in heat 3, overtaken Allen and getting one of the fastest time for along time round ewr 56.46, Zach looked well off the pace in his first one. It was golden opportunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the only rider that beat Douglas all night was King so that is why he would have been my choice in heat 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted June 18, 2022 Danny King changed bikes after his first races so I hope he sticks with them and sends the other (new?) one back to the tuner!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't make it easy for himself going so deep in the bends but seemed to have more straight line speed than Dougie. Maybe I'm being overly harsh idk, I was just surprised considering he was struggling most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted June 18, 2022 Any way there was a lot of decent racing that track last night which you often see else where one race reminded me of the loram hamill race of a few years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
