Yearbyred 1,106 Posted July 26, 2018 Well despite yet another home defeat it was actually a pretty entertaining meeting with some excellent racing. Nip and tuck for most of the meeting until the Witches 5 - 1 in Ht15. Bears just incredibly inconsistent which has been the case all season with always 2 or 3 riders (different riders each week) not contributing. All of them are capable of winning races at home but they are "up and down like a brides nightie" Witches top 5 rode the track very well and were too consistent for the Bears. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesB 107 Posted July 26, 2018 A very good win, made even better by getting the extra point in H15. Back in contention for the play off's but really must beat Lakeside next Thursday. The changes have worked. Although net/net it's only a couple more points, importantly the top 5 are scoring consistently which means that we can carry the reserves to a degree. This wouldn't have happened with Hartel/Jeppesen in the team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thornaby48 48 Posted July 26, 2018 Very good meeting and Ipswich deserved the win, Redcar just cannot all fire at the same time. Due to the threat of rain the main meeting was finished by 9 pm so no hanging around ,good all round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple.H. 1,986 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) My 1st visit to Redcar What a great little racetrack, you lucky people. Nice to see the hand of friendship offered to the children from Chernobyl and getting them on the centre green for a dance. Redcar promotion you get a big thumbs up from me Onto Scunthorpe tomorrow. First time there too I hope the rain isn't as bad as forecast. Edited July 26, 2018 by Triple.H. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boz 316 Posted July 26, 2018 I dont mind losing when a) I have been entertained, and b) I think the team have tried. So I have no complaints tonight - obviously frustrated to lose but some great racing. Ipswich top 5 were excellent, for us Jorgensen was superb. Barker started well but faded and solid effort from Stewart and Busch. Berge was infuriating. Superb in one heat and then so poor. Andersens both had poor meetings - think MBA maybe a bit spooked after his first ride tumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the current performance levels prevail, I cannot see attendance levels, being sufficient, for survival. Hope I am wrong though. It seems that visiting fans and riders seem to enjoy themselves at Redcar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yearbyred 1,106 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Can’t agree that Berge is another Kus. Kus would not have come from the back and got past Proctor like Berge did tonight. Battled hard in his last ride for a point too. Enigmatic - yes. Frustrating - yes. Kus mark II - no. Plus I’ve yet to see him look down at his bike when he’s at the back Edited July 26, 2018 by Yearbyred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to ride poor for Redcar but rides a stormer whilst guesting elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wallys point earned us an extra match point Great result - super solid all round performance - chuffed to bits Well done! His point was a gift though.....
