  1. Bit unfortunate for Jye that he lifted a little out of the gate in heat 14 and caught Karger and they all cannoned together. But there was not a grain of dirt on the inside half of the track in turn 1 so nothing to hold you up or keep you in line. Don't know what it was like round turns 3/4. I have seen some blue grooves before but never that wide. The noise of the rakes on it and the still shoes as they came back to the pits was like a spade on concrete. Shame that it got like that for the last half dozen heats or so. I feared it might when I saw the grader going round before the start and there was just no dirt on the grading thingy at all. Once the track gets better and the building site ceases to be a building site it will be a great setup. It's great that you can get closeish to the start for a great view. (Assuming there are no subsequent dust clouds obviously!) The much maligned Peter Karger was the match winner for Rye. Gated from 4 (as most did - 10 race winners from it and 3 from 2) and there was nothing Smiling Sam could do to phase him. Rode really steadily through the race despite the pressure from Sam. Well done that lad. Crowd went wild!!
  2. That's handy. I did read unofficially that we now had priority. The lad will be knackered though - Wednesday - Birmingham Thursday - Ipswich Friday - Edinburgh Saturday - Workington Sunday - Hoddesdon? Lucky he has now turned 17 (on Friday) but when's he going to get his homework done?
  3. No chance of making both meetings I don't think. I fear we'll have to miss out.
  4. How many wild cards can a person get? Why bother making him enter and then get changed and even have to ride a few races. Just give a pass to the finals.
  5. Not even the secret hush-hush don't let anyone know in case they turn up fixture being rescheduled for the last Saturday in the month? 😉
  6. You haven't seen our bottom 3! But we can only get better!
  7. Would he have done the same at ippo though against an equivalent opponent?
  8. So King can get 13+1 and Kerr a paid max in the Lakeside v Coventry match but can't do it for Ippo. Why's that then?
  9. Smiling San 14 from 5 at Leicester tonight and Erik Riss qualified for the Under 21 Final tonight so maybe we'll give the Rockets a run for their money?
  10. Macca - sounds a good possibility. I'll let you know in a wee while what I'm doing. Yes the toll is 50p - I usually go that way. Sometimes the barrier is up and it's free. I thought the crater had been filled in?
  11. More like 30-35 point win. You're not that good. Heavens even we beat you the other week and we know we're not very good - yet.
  12. That would be excellent news. So is he available at Rye tomorrow?
