arnieg 3,649 Posted August 27, 2023 Top prize goes to Redcar for getting this meeting on, ensuring it ran smoothly and that the track was raceable and not just rideable. Ben Cook very impressive. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Bear 250 Posted August 27, 2023 Well done Charles , also how about a round of applause for the Redcar track staff for providing a track as good in heat 22 as in heat 1 UTB 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a Charles Wright fan I knew Ben Cook would do well, always been very good at Redcar but wasn't expecting top 3. Although if Ben did win there would be a fight for the number 12 race bib next year as that was the number Sam Masters had last season. Hope Richard is okay, see if he rides at BV tomorrow but prob a doubt for Weds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,326 Posted August 27, 2023 Well done Charles Wright, Great ride in the final. Why can't Poole fans just acknowledge another teams success always sour grapes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've not seen one comment from anyone saying that was the right decision in the final, do you think Charles Wright should have been excluded? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yearbyred 1,107 Posted August 27, 2023 Was at the track so haven’t seen any replays of the Wright incidents. Think the fact that both were on the first/second bend of the opening lap saved him. Ref made the calls, not Charles. Decent meeting given the weather we have had and track rode pretty well. Credit to Ben Cook and Chris Harris who were great all night. Well done Charles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boz 316 Posted August 27, 2023 Getting in before YearbyRed! First and foremost, massive credit to the promotion and track staff for getting the track in a state that was not just rideable but raceabale. Super effort considering the amount of rain. Some great racing - heat 17 was an absolute classic. Lots of good performances - Most riders had at least one good ride. I think Charles was fortunate to still be in the final, but it was a superb ride on the rerun. Bomber got better as the night went on and I'm a big fan of Ben Cook - he rides Redcar superbly (as most riders do!) Slightly disappointed in Douglas and Lawson - they were my pre meeting favorites and whilst they were far from poor it just didn't seem to click for them. Great meeting though and I was thoroughly entertained (and thanks again to Rory Schlein for making a little lads night!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
