SUPERACE

Great advert for speedway that today. Massive Crowd, great atmosphere great Home win, some fantastic racing, great weather. I thought the track prep and the work they did during in the meeting to keep the dust down was top class, they also managed the time between races really well. Even the queues for food and drink moved quickly today. The presentation of the meeting was first class, the big screen now with audio really adds to the show. Belle Vue would made some good well deserved money today and sent the crowd home very happy. A great day all round.

The tate engine failure at Sheffield cost us a run off for the bonus.

Trolling lol

Easy, Easy, Easy.

This will be close in going 48-42 Aces

There was loads of great races back in the day. Before bikes got too fast. Watch any race with Moran v Nielsen in it.

It was very poor towards an Aces Legend, I expect better than that from Neil tbh. He also made a sly comment when Zagar won heat 9. Announcer should keep personally issues out of it.

Ipswich were the best team on Paper last year, but injures cost them, but its cost a lot of teams over the years. The year before Belle Vue were the best team, if Charles wright would have been fit for the play offs Ipswich wouldn't have been in the final.

hopefully some good races, hope Brummies put up more of a fight this time, the meeting 6 weeks ago was a long night.

Better result than I expected, Aces will finish 4th, lets see what the playoffs bring, but as Phil the Ace says, Brady could be 1 meeting away from being World Champion, and i don't care who you are, you are going to ride to protect that.

Passes on Bends 1 or 2 on lap 1 for me are FTG, not passes. Anything after Bend 2 can be classed as a pass. That said there can be still some great races that are FTG.

He's wrong anyway under last years system Brady would be 1 point better off.

That's incorrect Dean, last year in Prague he would of not made the semi final finishing 9th (as you say) so he would have picked up 8 SGP points. This year he made the semi final as ninth qualifier, fell off while leading, so was classified finishing 10th and got 7 SGP points. So in fact under the new system Kurtz is 1 point worse off.

The system has made next to zero difference, both kurtz and Zmarzlik have made the same number of finals, both have had 2 LCQs, and both have failed to make the final once each. If you use heat points then Zmarzlik woukd be 4 points clear of Kurtz rather then the current 3 points. Kurtz is where he is on pure merit regardless of the system.

26 minimum i expect.

Went to Sheffield last night to see the Shambolic performance from 4 of the Aces, who scored less combined than Flint (even if you use Dan's 3 points for the tac sub win in the tally). That said, thought it ended up being a decent meeting after the first 6 races, and track prep looked decent. I don't blame Mark for giving Tata time, but he has left it too long, we should have been looking at a double change before the deadline, with him and Blodorn who is also struggling of late. I still feel Norrick could turn it around in the playoffs, but our reserves are a sitting duck and will ultimately cost us in the semi final.

If Lidesy riding had prevented the tactical substitution, the Aces would have undoubtedly won the meeting. Therefore, my original point remains valid. Sometimes, debating a point that leads to the same conclusion is unproductive.

Ha Ha yes I meant tac sub.

Ok let's remove the if. I absolutely can confirm 100%, that even with Lidsey riding and winning his first 2 races, it would not in anyway changed the fact we could use Kurtz as an R/R in heat 7. 😀

Hey Roger by my reckoning using the score sheet even if Lidsey had won his first 2 races, we would still have been 6 points behind by heat 7 so would have still been able to use Brady as a T/S. so based on that and the fact R/R only got 5 points, i think it safe to assume that BV won have almost certainly won a drawn meeting with Lidsey riding. Glad to clear it up:)

If Lidsey rode both races and won them both we would have been 6 points (Rather than 14) behind in heat 7, so would have still had Kurtz as a tactical.

A fantastic meeting, a strong fightback from the Aces, got to be happy with a point after being 14 points behind, with over a third of the meeting done. We would of won it with Lidsey for sure, just too much to do without him.

Lidsey rides got 5, that i includes Dans extra ride, still way short of what Lidsey has been getting around the NSS. Kurtz extra ride nothing to do with Lidsey.

Congrats to Leicester on thier first ever top flight trophy. Enjoy your night.
