Sir Sidney Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I'm looking forward to this. Some real up and coming talent on show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayJoe Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Judging by his performance against Kent, it looks like Cooper Rushen will be one to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Hard not to see a big away win here. Hope the racing isn't too spread out and everyone gets through safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly is, judging by his first three rides. Looks a natural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourentee Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Excellent meeting, thoroughly enjoyable. As expected, Lynn pulled away in the closing stages but Birmingham made a good fist of it throughout and should be happy with their work. Delighted to see Ritchings back on a bike; I recall with pleasure his time with the Heathens. As a Workington fan, albeit a far-flung one, I hoped for good meetings from Harrison and McGurk; both delivered. Cannot conclude without mentioning Rushen, a genuine talent whose ability appears to be in inverse proportion to his taste in kevlars! The last time I saw something in such a lurid shade of orange and black, it was on the floor of a stately home, in front of a roaring fire, with its mouth open... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very enjoyable watch. Cooper Rushen was very impressive, and I thought unlucky to be excluded in one heat - no or very minimal contact from my view point. Luke Harrison and Jody Scott also impressed. Birmingham should be aapplauded for running an NDT team, and then running an MDL match to follow. Great value for money in my book 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I thought Dave Watters got it right, but it was certainly one that could have gone either way. I was left pondering the possible significance of Ritchings' thumbs up as Rushen came round -- "I'm up and OK, don't worry" or a sarky "Well, thanks a lot for knocking me off". Or something else. Who knows?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows?! In a non televised meeting the ref obviously only gets one look at it. Not an easy job, and it can look different from different angles. I was an incident recorder for a while and I'd say refs get most right 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
