Norfolk Bear 250 Posted August 28, 2023 All the whinging,complaining & lack of respect to the winner . why not praise Redcar for providing a track which was allowing passing in heat 22 , It was a meeting full of terrific racing Apart from Belle Vue what other track could’ve done it. Ben Cook was excellent , his time will come, I would have been Danny or Bomber had won it , as it happened one of the sport’s great triers did it, Well done Charles 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the Redcar trackstaff deserve enormous credit . When Sheffield riders won the PLRC every few years , folk would moan about home track advantage . A home rider wins and thats what you get . Ok I wanted my own team's rider ( Chris Harris ) to win , but when you got racing like we got yesterday , speedway was the real winner, but well done Charles Wright . 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted August 28, 2023 Well done to Charles Wright, but I’m amazed he was allowed in the re-run; his erratic riding put Danny King into the fence. I can see a lot of back-and-forth regarding Craig Cook who I’m a big fan of, but what actually happened? I haven’t been a regular for many years, but forked-out £14.99 (an outrageous amount of money) for a line-up which disappointed me greatly as I used to travel the length of the country to see this meeting (Sheffield and the old Belle Vue, in particular). So, for one of the few ex-GP riders to withdraw was a huge let down. I’d like to reiterate that I’m not attacking Craig Cook; I just feel transparency is important for the paying public.

Redcar track is always very good Still feel Charles should have been excluded but purely based on the rerun, well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 84 Posted August 28, 2023 It was an individual meeting, not a team meeting, Everyman for himself surely. Danny didn’t seem to concerned when congratulating Charles after the race. For what it’s worth I thought Charles should have been excluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
