Congratulations to Sean 'Pingu' Stoddart, also to the 2 worky riders, Joe Haines and Charles Wright. Bad luck on Andrew Tully, but he still might get into the Final as he has qualified as reserve.

My EDP has an 11 inch column on the far right of page 32. The column is headed, 'Lambert bidding to maintain hot streak'.

Haha just testing ;) And Radio Norfolk did advertise this evening too, lots of times :D

 

Was an interesting meeting, very back luck for Simon Lambert having bike problems but Joe Haines, Sean Stoddart and Charles Wright deserved their qualifying places for the final. Bad luck also to Andrew Tully who's gating let him down in the end :(

 

Certainly some good racing going on, the boys were giving their all, the final will be hard fought that's for sure!!

Good meeting I must say :D Congratulations to Joe Haines, Sean Stoddart and Charles Wright. Bad luck for Andrew Tully. Also bad luck for Simon Lambert. Looked a little disappointing after that engine failure (or whatever it was lol). If that hadn't have happened, I think he would have at least gotten into the run off, if not through to the final and qualified. The second bike didn't seem as good as his first :(

Doing this all from memory so I won't be held responsible for any mistakes :oops:

 

Unluckiest riders of the night had to be Simon Lambert, Jerran Hart and Andrew Tully.

 

Lambert would of surely made it to the top 6 barring machine problems. Blew his number one bike when leading his second ride and I think he tried two other bikes (well engines anyway) but never seemed to have the same speed. Certainly no lack of effort though. Bad luck Simon.

 

Jerran Hart was another who was unlucky not to make the top 6. Fell on the last bend of his first ride when reasonably comfortable in second and ended up losing out on a top 6 place to Byron Bekker on countback. Felt sorry for the lad till I found out he comes from Ipswich :wink::lol:

 

Andrew Tully I thought looked untouchable in his early rides. Looked quick and very stylish, was very impressed. Didn't look quite so impressive though as the track slickened off later in the meeting and his gating let him down in the final. Certainly looked to have some mechanical problem in the final (maybe chain??) and he accidentally caught Wright's backwheel, sending them both flying. Thankfully both seem to of escaped relatively unharmed.

 

Charles Wright to be honest never really looked that impressive until later on in the meeting. Didn't win any of his first 3 rides and didn't look at the same level as the likes of Tully etc but rode well in the semi and final.

 

Joe Haines was excellent and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him at the NA (both for Boston and Workington). Well beaten by Tully in his first but after that looked very fast and rode the dirtline out wide by the fence. Can gate and more importantly can pass as well. Very impressive :approve:

 

Sean Stoddart rode sensibly without ever really looking like a potential winner. Maybe he was riding well within himself in some of his heats. Like Wright, stepped it up for the semi and final and made it through comfortably in the end.

 

Sam Martin also rode some very sensible races. Very impressive race to beat Tully and Lambert who where all over his backwheel for most of the race after he'd made a super gate. Never seemed to quite have the same speed as the other top guys but rode some good lines.

 

Overall an enjoyable meeting with some very good races at times and every rider contributed to the entertainment (some more than they intended (yes you Ben Hannon :lol: ). Shame the crowd wasn't a bit bigger though when taking into account that the EL Pairs are on Saturday, it wasn't a bad turnout.
