Ben Cook very impressive. As he had been all year - I said he was destined for the top when seeing him score 6 I think it was at Foxhall early this season and nothing since changes my mind. Shame for King in this meeting, without being wiped out in the first running thought he could've nicked that final. Well done 'blind willie' Dishington (no relation to 'blind Willie' mctell) 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 27, 2023 Just caught up with the meeting on delay. Good meeting. Some very good racing. Well done to Ben Cook who was leading in the first running of the final and was the best rider on show all meeting, but it’s never the same on a rerun and so that rule proved again. Wright could have been booted out the first running but the ref was weak. So Wright wins, well done to him. Always prefer a rider to win it who doesn’t ride on the event track every week. But I like both Wright and Danny King as people and racers. Well done to Ben though. Shows how well he has come on as a rider and a racer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The winner used to get a brand new bike, does anyone know what the prize is these days ? A few quid but the BSPL didn’t even bring a trophy, they forgot , the club had to produce one from behind the bar. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If true then it's a familiar but disappointingly despairing tale.

bringbackHalifax 238 Posted August 28, 2023 If weather has been poor Mr Swales is the man who can.salvage a meeting for you. Well done Johnny. Full credit to the riders for giving it a go. Willy bottled it. Semi wasn’t first bend bunching, so an exclusion should have occurred. The final was not first bend bunching. A rider lifted, was out of control and took out an opponent. Charles should have been excluded. Hollow and shallow victory, but rode well in rerun. Ironically Bomber left Charles room on the outside, I wonder if positions were reversed would Charles leave some room. I have my doubts. Feel for Ben Cook who was best rider on display. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
