Terry 1,319 Posted July 16, 2016 Hi all, And second and third on the podium along with Emil, will be ??? Alan. An inauspicious start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THE DEAN MACHINE 4,746 Posted July 16, 2016 You get some great racing at this little track 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 956 Posted July 16, 2016 Never seen a poor meeting from here, great track and quite frankly regardless of its size is better than any race track in the UK imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,278 Posted July 16, 2016 Always a great meeting at Gustrow... Small 'footprint' in relation to many tracks... Could Swindon fit this size and shape of track in? Could do a lot worse... Subject to getting the new track built obviously... Some fantastic racing tonight almost matched by Sam's fantastic interpretation of the English language!!!😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r8gdp 461 Posted July 16, 2016 Anyone watching this not too bad a meeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted July 16, 2016 It's a weird track, to look at it would be terrible but both sec and the pairs meeting we've seen from here have been really good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawkins20 116 Posted July 16, 2016 They seriously fool around with the gate choice while the track becomes complete rubbish... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted July 16, 2016 I'd laugh if his 4 refuse to race and then miss out on the title or a medal by a point or two. You may as well try, you have nothing to lose here. If it's that bad pull up but it's if good you could get 3 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted July 16, 2016 They seriously fool around with the gate choice while the track becomes complete rubbish... It was the same when the One Sport-organised World u-21 round was staged at King's Lynn. It was rapidly heading towards midnight but they still had to have the full gate choice ceremony rather than just gathering the riders off-camera and swiftly sorting it out. Sometimes you have to be pragmatic and cut the formalities. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to get things completed tonight and we lost out on the final as a result. Good racing though and well-worth watching. It's all about One Sport's business rather than the sport though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nw42 2,048 Posted July 16, 2016 Well I'm happy with what we get, I assume if it weren't for One Sport we would not have the SEC or the Pairs to watch, so they can't be all bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's that bad pull up but it's if good you could get 3 points nothing to lose bar a big crash into the fence, vision was an obvious problem in the semi final.

You have those events while it suits One Sport. If they ever got their hands on the target of the SGP and SWC these events won't last five minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I knew you'd have to educate me on the politics but tbh I couldn't give a toss about politics of any type, I just like watching decent speedway and One Sport are helping to provide that without me having to leave the house, happy days. So thanks for the lesson but it's wasted on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So are you saying they try to make money out of it instead of doing it for free? Evil people. Glad the GP's are not in their hands... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
