mdmc82 2,878 Posted April 11, 2014 I think Howarth (and esp Garrity) will be big misses tonight. I really like Kings Lynn's team and hope they do well this year, just hopefully not tonight Hope both teams stay safe. X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted April 11, 2014 There's some getting carried away about our team. Porsing, Lambert, Kerr & Rose. This is a team for progress, not immediate impact. Win, lose or draw is no big deal. I'll go with a home win just getting the 3 points but hoping for the other way round. I don't know if you are referring to me, but I live my life being optimistic. Far better then looking at negatives and being subdued all the time. Yes I appreciate we have some young riders, but they are all good talented racers. Coventry also have young draft riders who are in the same boat. We go away tonight with a good chance of success. No I'm not getting carried away, just looking forward to another good meeting and hope at the end of the day, we have a good trip, a brilliant night, and no accidents. To win some points will be the icing on the cake. Hoping the weather stays kind....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jammag 25 Posted April 11, 2014 One of the things that was very noticeable about Kings Lynn on Wednesday was the inexperience in the 2nd string/Reserves. I think this is the only thing that may cost us some meetings. None of them looked comfortable following each other and found it hard to control and just sit in behind the rider in front and protect. However on the other hand we also saw how much potential there is in this side. Starting with Porsing, had mechanical troubles but he showed that when he gates and his machinery worked well then he is more than a match for near enough anyone in this league. Lambert couldnt control his bike off the start line as he kept lifting but showed what pace he had when chasing down Watt and then once passing Rose on lap 3 that he caught up a massive distance on the hammers 2 in front. Hopefully a bit of advice on set ups and he will be away making good contributions to the team. Rose has shown that he can gate well, he is extremely quick off the mark and often heads into the front at the first bend, with this I think he will make valuable contributions and really hold his own. Kerr is someone who gives 110% every race and sometimes can be his undoing with coming off twice in his first 2 heats and he could have had a 4 ride maximum as he dropped 5 points by just falling off. However he has shown that when he relaxes then he is going to make big contributions as well. To do well for the whole season we will have to be a team and by that I mean we are expecting our heat leaders to get 28-30 points and then the other 16-18 points to come from the bottom 4. We are never always going to have everyone perform. I think we can afford to carry 1 rider a meeting but any more than that and it is going to be a big struggle. As for tonight I am quietly confident that we can bring all 4 points back home. Having the team set up we have they all know each other and I think they can spark everyone on. We have good experience of brandon in our heat leaders and I am sure if they can start well then we will carry that on for the whole meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers89 1,922 Posted April 11, 2014 I went to the stockcars last week, and that bump on the first bend come the end of the meeting was horrific, it was making heavy stockcars jump into the fences, so hope they have sorted that out.... they were trying to pack it down come the end of the meeting, but will that of been enough?

You would hope they would easily sort that out as they have had all week. A bit concerning considering theyve just relaid that part of the track to sort that hole.
