My favourite this season was that "all the meetings are filmed, live"

Maybe best not taking any risks as Sunday is way more important than a Saturday friendly in the grand scheme of things.

Quite impressed with Liam Carr, he did ride very well and was a bit unlucky with the exclusion. Good to see another young Brit with potential.

It may have been that Lasse was trying to avoid Magnus who was also in the vicinity, 3 riders on the same bit of track will cause problems for someone one way or another.

How does Kozza go at RH?

Lewis only beat the same 3 riders all night, Sarjeant (which he would expect to) Klindt (his own team mate) & Ellis.

Must have been the turbulence then as Maggie was on the home straight by the time Auty binned it.

Have to agree about Sarjeant, was a lot closer than Branford, just wish he had tried the outside on the last bend against Lewis, if he carries on with the same effort hopefully the points will come. It was also pleasing to see an outside pass by Nemo.

He wasn't saying it again was he? I've lost count of how many times he has said defence instead of development.

That's 3 on the bounce that have hit the same spot now

We have judges now lol

If you put 60+ on the comets, it will be easy pickings on Friday too.

Quality Kelv - Tai Woffinden "there will be plenty of ink written on him"

and his massive lockers

Has Kelvin only got top drawers in his house?

Hats off to Nikki P for that

Who are these riders the continuity bloke is on about? now he can't even get Kelvin's name right!

There was certainly plenty of dirt on it to start with (perhaps a tad too much for some), the middle heats were excellent until all the dirt ended up by the fence. With amount of moisture in it, the track was the best it has been this season IMO.

This for a guest for Nemo, not for one of ours.

How much over 8.17 would we be allowed?

Would Doyle be eligible?

After the Scunny shale was put on last year, the surface was definitely the better for it and there was some excellent heats at the end of the season (Workington and Newcastle spring to mind). This year the track appears to have gone back to its old red colour and despite some encouraging signs in the first couple of meetings when there appeared to be an outside line developing round 3 & 4, the Redcar meeting really was a borefest. I know it has been said elsewhere, but I would like to see someone at least try a wider entry into 3 to cut back coming off 4.

The shale seemed to be back to the old red colour, instead of the Scunny brown that it was at the end of last year, or is it just my failing eyesight ?

Said it would win the final

Pedersen has not been fast even in front, so could be tasty.
