Roger Jacobs 554 Posted September 19, 2023 10 hours ago, old bob at herne bay said: Just heard that the hinges on the Ippo pit gates have been damaged by high winds this evening. Ipswich have been in touch with near neighbours Kings Lynn who apparently have experience with pit gate repairs. First indications are that it will take one week to get someone to look at the job. Except, the pit gate is nowhere near the track ... There was car racing on Saturday night, so maybe there's damage to the track - bangers with tyres missing can cause grooves.

You would hope that they have to use Harris as he was down for BV away too.. Guests are bad enough without a "Horses for Courses" approach being allowed.. Once more though, a fit for purpose RR facility would mean no guests required.. Eg. As Doyle second in the averages all riders can take his rides up to a max of seven each.. Who rides when is then down to the manager.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harris is good at Ipswich but he is no Doyle, shame because you tend to think if there was a GP Thursday he would be riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair I don't think anyone can doubt Doyle when it comes to his committment to British speedway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to agree, Emil and Danny would likely get more than Harris, Rew and Riss would probably get similar if they are used cleverly so overall probably safer bet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
