  1. Was chasing Extance into bed 3 and looked like Extance slowed up a little and Jo ran into the back of him both came down both got up and looked ok jo said he felt shaken up but felt ok but the medics said he looked concussed and gave him a 23 day ban
  2. Most started with small jets but engines were too strong so Yes it Floods the engine but slows a really strong engine down will pull on the slick
  3. Why would any rider want to add anything to there fuel when every rider was trying to slow there bikes down track was slick only thing a few riders did was to take out the jet to slow there engines down
  4. Think the Glasgow riders got the set up right as the meeting went on and choice of gates made a big difference first time I have been there and there wasn’t a blue groove after 10 hts
  5. Don’t think people realise how hard Riding in 2 leagues can be time wise it’s more than a full time job and the amount of time spent in the garage on the road travelling time off work just leads to a lot of pressure and little reward think he also does grasstrack as well good luck to the lad
  6. What gets me is why they didn’t do the extra track work before any rider went on track if it was that bad why did riders have to crash before they did it mind you they did that when Leicester went and ended up ripping the complete track up ,tracks have to be race-able not just rideable
  7. Yes only way they would let him ride for Glasgow
  8. Yes while the fee was set by the bspa
  9. It’s a Bit like Leicester doing the same for sarj at the start of the year buy him or your not using him
  10. Pretty sure nl riders can miss meetings if they cannot get time off dew to work commitments but only if the rider only rides in the NL
  11. Think there is a production company making a behind the scene's movie about the season as there seems to be another camera guy in the pits,crowd and following the team and some of the riders around this season
  12. No free tickets have been handed out this year I think with the Tigers being advertised on the new local Glasgow radio station Nation Radio it should bring a few extra through the gate nice advert by the way and it's quite cheap as well as my boss who has a couple of carpet shops does it also says uts cheaper than print advertising
  13. When you stand at the pit gates and watch them going up the back straight you can see them bouncing along it then bounce into the 3rd corner there Starky came in and checked he still had his fillings in it’s that bad
  14. A good few crashes are normally by the chasing riders when trying to pass around the outside going off the blue groove around bends 1/2 and bend 3 usually seems to get a hole or rut appears mid track after a few hts or it’s the rider going over the off camber bend 3
  15. Leicester only have the four fit riders at the moment Luke Ruddick injured Ryan MacDonald is ill and off his work so can’t ride and might be struggling for next week and think because Luke is local and reserves don’t get any travel money it kind of makes sense
  16. We have been there twice 4 days holiday £220 each time in fuel £80 travel lodge and using up day like that means we might not get there for next one as not got many days left to take
  17. Danyon has not had much racing this year with the cubs only having a handful of matches so far but having seen him in all of these matches he looks a far better rider more in control I am sure once he gets more continuous meetings every week he will be in the points for both his championship and NL clubs
  18. Waiting on the result between Plymouth and stoke on Friday stoke are 11 point up I think from their leg hoping for stoke :-) can’t face another 10 hour journey again
  19. Might have to lend it to him again (after we have raced them ):-))
  20. That would probably be when Glasgow are in town try bring few hundred with them ;-)
  21. It’s like that every week but usually around ht 5/6 depends where riders ride first few hts
  22. Terry that does the track at Redcar gets the track there the same every week it’s never been that good he knows his stuff wish there were a few more like him around the country
  23. That’s seems to be our problem getting the same consistent track every week it’s never the same2 weeks in the row which doesn’t help home riders they’ve should be able to run the same set up every week with minor tweaks but it seems to be big changes every week
