Pride Of The East - Kings Lynn

[Shortcrust 0]

Each to their own I suppose. Still think it's far worthy of a better line up.

 

Suppose another reason we don't have other top PL names such as Boxall, Neath, Ashworth, Wilson, Zetterstrom etc etc not being invited is for the obvious reasons. Shame again really.

Agree shooting star, I would have made the journey tomorrow night if there was a chance of seeing riders you don't see week in week out at KL. Last season for example the line up included Jansson,Louis, Janniro, Watt, Shields? etc with a decent smattering of PL riders .

 

It may have been better in the circumstances to have given this meeting a different name and reverted back to the POTE next season when a more suitable line up was obtainable

Does anyone have the riding order for tomorrow night obviously we have the 16 man line up but does anyone have the riders numbers???

 

thanks in advance

It may have been better that this meeting be held at the end of the season instead of being smack bang in the middle of the most important time for the KL speedway team.

[PhilK 150]

Agreed

Whats the weather looking like for tonight ?

[semion 2,192]

This line-up does nought for me. Looks like a certain home winner. It doesnt make me want to get off me ass and get there im afraid.

 

Be interesting to hear how the track is for this week though.

I hope you miss a real good one then A certain home winner, I reckon Messrs Holder, Watt, Howe and Tacey may have summat to say about that! And are you telling me that a race with Batchelor, Holder, Watt and Doolan won't be entertaining? Or Oliver, Jones, Mills and Harding? Or Topinka, Watt, Holder and Pijper? Or Howe, Tacey, Doolan and Harding? etc etc I'd certainly 1000% rather pay £10+ to watch this meeting than some ruddy old footie match for a fiver ................... no comparison, how could you even contemplate it! lol

[Shortcrust 0]

My fingers will be thoroughly crossed hoping no injuries affect our team for the rest of the season. Still think it's a stupid time to hold the event.

[SimonB 55]

Any change in the weather ?

Tress you iz a far more commited supporter than i Im not a great lover of individual meets at the best of times. I hope for all you going i miss a real corker. I remember the days when The POE was an all star cast of who was who in Speedway. That line-up aint even nowhere near the best the Premier League has to offer.

*************************

Comments:

 

Tonights meeting is 20 heats so each rider will have 5 rides and then the top 4 scorers will take part in the Grand Final with the winner being crowned the 2006 Pride Of The East Champion. There will be no Semi Final

 

Line Up Have Been Confirmed

 

Only one change to the original field as James Brundle replaces Tai Woffinden who is out with ilness

 

Heat 1 - Howe passed a slow Tacey at the end of the 2nd lap

 

Heat 2 - Great ride by Holder as he passed Nermark on lap 3 and that doesnt happen often

 

Heat 3 - Watt passed Batchelor on the 2nd lap, Batchelor tried to cut back but almost came off in the process

 

Heat 4 - Tight for the first couple of bends but spread out after that

 

Heat 5 - Great race Pijper third to first, Oliver held third until the final lap when he drifted too wide allowing Lee past

 

Heat 6 - Nermark passed Harding first lap only to go too wide and get re passed Nermark did it again on lap three but made it stick this time

 

Heat 7 - Jones held third comfortably until her got out of shape on lap 3 allowing Brundle passed

 

Heat 8 - Intresting, Elbows between Holder & Howe on the first bend, Holder tried passing Howe on lap 2 but got wildly out of shape and did very well not to come off. Was relegated to the back though, Passed Doolan on lap 3 but couldnt get near Watt

 

Heat 9 - Fron the gate, Batchelor chased hard though just ran out of room on the final bend

 

Heat 10 - Jones third to second to third. Tacey last to second, Pijper second to third to last over the course of the race. Mr Mungo couldnt hear the time

 

Heat 11 - Holder fell and is excluded, Fell while leading, similar to the previous race but this time unlike last time he couldnt hold on, he is up and okay which is the main thing

 

Heat 11 (Re-Run) - King fell while leading and Topinka couldnt avoid him. Heavy fall but he is up, King excluded

 

Tomas Topinka has withdrawn from the meeting and Nathan Irwin replaces him

 

Heat 12 - Howe fell while trying to pass Oliver, Harding passed Brundle on the 1st lap

 

Heat 13 - Watt by a mile, closer race between Mills and Brundle in the early stages

 

Heat 14 - Terrific race for first, Batchelor all over Holder with Holder just getting the win by inches

 

Heat 15 - Harding gated but passed by Doolan on lap 1, Pijper passed Harding on lap 2 and passed Doolan on lap 3!, great ride

 

Heat 16 - Howe passed Lee on lap 1, Lee then re passed him only for Howe to get back into 2nd on the 3rd lap

 

Heat 18 - Doolan had engine failure while challenging for the lead

 

Heat 19 - Nermark passed King at the end of the 1st lap, track is now very slick

 

Heat 20 - Batchelor never troubled

 

Grand Final - Daniel Nermark, Davey Watt, Troy Batchelor, Chris Holder

 

Grand Final - Watt again from the gate, worthy winner Holder challenged Batchelor briefly on lap 2 but his race fizzled out after that

 

Thanks to everyone for watching tonight and a special thanks to Mr Mungo for the texts

 

Congrats to Davey Watt on being crowned the 2006 Pride Of The East Champion and until next time take care and goodnight
