Buxton V Kings Lynn 14/08

[high edge 103]

Just to let everyone know the Hitmen take on Kings Lynn on sunday its been sometime since we had a meeting but the fixtures this year are a shambles.Riders are finding it hard to stay focused and keep there racing heads on.its no fault of the clubs but it is a poor way of doing things next year it may be an idea to start the league later so we can have more regular meetings.Anyway after a good result at I O W the Hitmen should be on the gas and get a winn against the young stars .

[whippy 100]

Finding it hard to remember the last Young Stars meeting we went to !! Think it was back in June !!!!

[whippy 100]

Where is Mimmo, he usually has a build up for the YS by now?

Comments:

 

Line-ups are a complete and total guess work, and will be confirmed shortly.

No Olly Rayson due to illness.

Line-ups now confirmed.

Spitting with rain @ 2.50pm.

 

Referee is Graham Flint.

The weather is cold and overcast, and the track looks patchy.

HalifaxTiger estimates the crowd at being about 200 people or so.

 

The track is "rock hard" according to a rider.

Ivan Mauger is at Buxton! Unbelievably almost unrecognised.

 

Congrats to King's Lynn on the win, and many thanks to HalifaxTiger for the texts

Very good meeting - as I said on updates, probably the best I have ever seen at Buxton with both sides putting in an awful lot of effort

 

The track didn't look brilliant to me with the base coming up on the first two turns and a large rut on the third bend throwing everyone out but I was told by a rider that it was pretty good. Certainly the racing was.

 

Quick mention for Ashley Birks. You would not only have thought that he was a Stars rider but one who had been there for several years by the way he got involved. Impressive

 

Even had a quick chat with the legendary Ivan Mauger

Well done the Stars boys very gutted for Jake.

[P T Preece 262]

First visit to Buxton today for this season, enjoyed the meeting, cant stand this stupid Tac ride rule.

A team builds up a useful lead over a number of heats to get it wiped out by the tac ride, it cost Buxton 2 points today, worked it out when I got home, if heat 11 had been a 2-4 instead of 2-7 to the stars, buxton would have won by 46-44.

The sooner they get rid of it the better.

All in all a good meeting some close racing, the usual falls, a bit of rain and sunshine, will be there again soon.

[Great Central 226]

Where is Mimmo, he usually has a build up for the YS by now?

Judging by the lack of dialogue from him, it looks as if he missed out on his favourite speedway journey out into the wilds of the Peak District and this time the Young Stars won. Sounds like a good meeting with all the drama that Buxton brings.

Not a big fan off the tactical but its in the rules and can be used by either team.

What pees me more is the refs who constantly call back races even though the rider that was at fault has made a hash of the start and is last.

Happened atleast once today when Buxton were on a 5 -1 and on a track like Buxton where the start is 90 percent of the race, why give them another cha

No Martin, I didn't miss what was an excellent afternoon's speedway, but as you may have read on the Speedway Star, I've recently lost my Mum, hence my being quiet.
