It was the hose pipe today. They got away with it at one grading break when they had 2&4 in 4 consecutive heats, hence the fight back, but got caught next time round and were made to even then all out.

I don’t know the answer but Jake rode at 2 and not at reserve, if that makes any difference.

I’m certainly not taking anything for granted, there is still a long way to go to the end of the season and there are plenty of other decent teams in with a shout.

The worst part of Ty’s performance today apart from turning right instead of left was pulling onto the centre green under power after a couple of laps when last only for Clegg to have a problem and have to push his bike round for half a lap. If he had carried on he would have a got a point and so would we. Just totally unprofessional and did not appear to go down well in the pits either.

Good meeting, good crowd and all done in 100 minutes with both teams using RR with a fair few 2 on the trots. Dan Thompson is on fire round BP at moment.

Trying to book tickets but it saying booking window has closed. Do they want my money? Now sorted

Decent crowd for the NDL tonight I thought.

This one

Yes the mascot was not wearing a helmet lol They were on 50cc mini bikes.

Still had the mascot suit & head on though lol

There were lots of fun & games from my memory as a 16 year old. Here’s the 2nd half from my programme.

Absolutely brilliant meeting, credit to both teams

A slight improvement on the track I was told by someone involved.

I agree it ain’t great for the spectators but an upgrade isn’t cheap apparently. Just need someone to win the lottery I suppose.

They are not new, they were just realigned and cleaned and that came direct from the electrician.

Saturdays are 7pm Midweek is 7:30.

Has anyone else taken off 4 other riders in the same meeting?

Just caught up with the meeting on YouTube, what a cracker. Dudek should have gone in the semi. Nice to see Wozza hitting some form, was a tidy little rider at Leicester. Janowski a deserved winner.

Great GP but awful tv direction.

He had a really weird style and who could forget the somersault over the air fence against Newport and walking back to the pits through the crowd.

I’ve got a Leicester v Coventry tape from the early 80’s knocking around somewhere.

David Howe never rode for Leicester.

Mike Lanham ran into the back of Gordon Kennett when his bike packed up on the home straight in a Border Trophy meeting against Kings Lynn in 1983. Certainly one of the worst crashes I have seen. I remember Mike Farrell breaking his femur at some point but cannot recall the specific crash. The other one that sticks in my mind was Chris Holder at Coventry.

Douglas & Bates? Perks & Mountain?
