SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted July 25, 2019 Yep, abandoned after ht13. Thunderstorms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted July 25, 2019 The 3% hit and is a doozy of a spectacle Glad we got to a result. A few hard fought heats without being as spectacular as the storm.

Super Blue 616 Posted July 25, 2019 If the ref had got his decisions right early in the meeting the overall gap would have been wider. He was a totally blind smeg head (polite description) 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was a totally blind smeg head (polite description) Yeah for Howarth to get away with the jump in ht2 and king to be excluded in 3 we’re both pretty awful decisions from the ref, Howarth should’ve of course then had a warning from ht2 and excluded in his second attempt at cheating the start that was pulled back!! heeps good night allen good night lawson got better KP got a lot better - needs to start scoring from the start of meetings bomber really not good enough king up and down and wrongly excluded kennett must do better - still he’s looking more likely to score at home than bellego though. decent win another 3 points against a team of riders that ride Foxhall well, I said to my dad at the start I think we’ll win but they’ll get a point so a good prediction!! Thought the track was pretty decent today as well, especially given just how hot it’s been past couple of days 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badge 5,126 Posted July 25, 2019 Jeepers, I've never ever driven home in a storm like that before, phew glad to get indoors , hot though it still is!! On a plus note, great to have Cameron and Jake back to winning ways 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted July 26, 2019 Thought it was a decent meeting considering the weather , track wasn't bad . Shame about the last two heats but the thunderstorm was a bit scary!!! Nightmare journey down and back. The A14 trying to take the title of worst road in the UK off the M25 I reckon. Coming back the A14 was shut then M6 was shut so we diverted down the M42 and guess what. Yup that's right!!! Nightmare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted July 26, 2019 Glad you enjoyed the meeting Bruno and that you at least got to witness 13 heats after my confident prediction of no rain!! Sounds like a horrible journey home. The state of the roads and constant closures which rarely seem to correct much is such a frustration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
