iainb 5,018 Posted July 25, 2022 There HAS been some decent Speedway racing tonight, with a close scoreline... I would have hated to have turned off after heat 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You said earlier even more experienced riders have struggled around Monmore albeit reserves as quoted.But didn't an experienced ex rider say before the meeting it's harder than you think to actually hit that inside spot.If your riding it week in week out you can learn where to hit,doing 4 races now and again you most probably won't.

Used to watch Joe Screen as an 18 year old kid riding inches from the white line at both Monmore and Kirky Lane.. The Yanks too were all very adept at it... Throttle Control...

TTT 1,229 Posted July 25, 2022 Lewis Kerr does it again. The guy clearly hasn't been watching what's happening on the track tonight. He's the sole reason why KL may leave with nothing tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted July 25, 2022 Don't worry KL fans. Lewis Kerr will be riding the final few fixtures for my team soon when KL ring the changes. You just know he's going to get dumped on our doorstep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe but it is very slick on the inside yet the Stars are flying across the apex to mid track and the outside... The line is go in wider, lock up, and cone out narrower.. Like it has been for donkeys years.. Hence "Karlsson's Corridor"... And I watched Peter in the early 90's to the noughties and beyond... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It ain't all that, easily comparable with British Speedway in terms of presentation and quality (of racing) and British Speedway is probably better Yep, seen it and agree it is a bad as the British version.. While the racing has its moments it is not top draw in terms of a spectacle it is a poor relation. While the meetings can entertain, they offer mediocre competitive racing and those riders competing are not top level but nevertheless do manage to put on a show. Just do.not over sell, the product, it is second rate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
