Pob Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 USA to change their championship to a single meeting in February.... probably solved? That would be a far too simple a solution. Come on we are taking about speedway here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Wilson-Dean had a big off for Eastbourne last night and is out of their meeting against Rye today. So after all that's been said on here maybe we won't get to see him after all. Anyway hope the lad is not too beaten up and get well soon.

Pob Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Fours have been confirmed for Oct 1 thurs at redcar. Well that's put paid to me going to the rerun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Not exactly central or on a weekend as I was expecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Was looking forward to going to this on a weekend, but midweek is a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Was looking forward to going to this on a weekend, but midweek is a no go. If this meeting ad been on a weekend I might actually have gone myself, no chance of the happening being on a work night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Same here was looking forward to the rerun. Just too far for mid week without taking time off work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Seems like a daft decision to have it on a Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Are there normally only 12 riders for this meeting? You would expect Scott to walk this but I doubt he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Has certainly only been 12 riders for a number of years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Disappointing that Wilson-Dean isn't fit to take his place I was looking forward to seeing him. At least his intended inclusion by the promotion shows that he's possibly on the clubs radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think he is on every clubs radar, but ya never know Eastbourne may have given him a good word about ipswich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric6 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 How does the 16 lapper event actually work? I've not been for many many years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 1. Pay £16 quid 2. Freeze whilst watching 12 qualification heats that don't really mean much. In between them there will be some dodgy music 3. Freeze whilst waiting until we find who goes where in 8 rider 16lap final. 4. The unlucky ones that didn't make it then have a consolation final. Hopefully with 4 riders. 5. Final gets started where hopefully all riders make it to the end. Normally 1 or 2 will pack up after spluttering to a halt. 6. Leave after winner crowned with a victory bottle of lambrini! 7. Eventually thaw out in car ride home.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Might not be as cold this year seeing as it's being staged a month earlier than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 If a visual explanation helps, probably not, one can be found at..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dnRgHIoI9k That was in the days when it wasn't staged at the end of the season and the winner (that's on overall points, not necessarily the winner of the actual 16 lap final) received a Weslake engine, not just a bottle of lambrini. (Until I watched this again today, I'd forgotten John Cook's interview and his explanation of how he tried to fix the problem - 'it came out on this turn, so I fingered it, got it going, and by the time I got my rubber back on...... and Phil came underneath me'. Probably not the only time that Cookie ran into similar problems up on the Heath ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
