Doyle has been erratic, Emil seems to have bike or set ups not as good as they could be, Danny has had a couple of low scores for Redcar and it will be very much how the top end performs as Klindt will be a spoiler if he gets it right from the start. Not as clear cut as a few may think. I keep reading comments like this, but Danny has a 9.23 ave (9.54 with bonuses) for Redcar in 2025. Unless maybe he's had low scores in challenge matches & the KOC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 If Lynn win this, play-offs race is blown wide open, with 5 out of 7 clubs fighting for the top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track caught the Ippo boys out early doors, i'd say. Sounds like the track man was caught out by the weather as well, crap track apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit disappointing to be six up and not push them closer but that's a pretty good effort really as they are so strong 1-7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Daytime meetings in the UK are a waste of space. Never ever remember a good one in a lot of years watching speedway.   The track “material “ just doesn’t hold the moisture. It’s either a dust bowl or verging on waterlogged ( like Landshut SGP) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 I said on another thread the other day that the daytime meetings often lead to slick tracks and a lack of home advantage at Foxhall and many other teams fans scoffed at the idea kings Lynn would be our closest challenger at home so far this season, took a while but the boys got themselves in front for a comfy win in the end. be interested to know how much extra revenue a bank holiday meeting brings on the gate and whether it’s still of value to run them as we get decent crowds on Thursday nights and the daytime meetings the track is always tough to keep the moisture in the material to provide grip and a dirt line 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 I've heard it said that a daytime summer meeting, needs water the day before, and starting again at around 4am as needed on race day to keep the moisture in the track. Not an easy task to get in right i'd imagine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water going down till past midnight the night before mid summer time, hot sun cold wind in May makes balancing watering extremely challenging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasta la vista Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Preparing a track isn't difficult, just requires time and effort. If needed, you water from the day before as mentioned above. Little and often. This modern Morris phenomenon of flooding the track minutes before heat 1 and then every 4 heats is a disaster and you see it every SGP round. For league matches the clubs just need to put more thought and effort into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
