Siggytastic Posted Tuesday at 06:18 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:18 AM The fantastic speedway updates mentioned that it was very dusty but I didn't see any. I thought the track was spot on given the sun and breeze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that used to be the rule to prevent exactly what you describe happening and teams getting a clear advantage... Who knows what the rules are now though...? And they may change by Thursday anyway... Edited Tuesday at 06:29 AM by mikebv 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Boughen scores 0,0,0 so be it as long as you could see he tried.Its the giving up in every race that really pi$$es me off.This is the reason he has to go.I would rather see someone else come in,even if they scored 0 as long as they didn't give up and you could see the effort going in.Boughen actually scored us -1 last night,when he fell Iversen was comfortable in the lead,then of course we all know what happens in the re-runs😮💨 When he took his fall you would normally expect the race may be awarded - quite strange that it wasn't really. Perhaps he needed to have given it another lap before taking the dive...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue witch Posted Tuesday at 07:20 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:20 AM A few things to take from last night Emil world class for 4 rides and 2 rides he was uninterested in King and Brennan scored the points we needs from them Ellis and Lambert disappointing Jenkins with a fantastic performance Boughen first shouldn't he be banned for refusing his 3rd ride for Glasgow? Also he was close to being lapped before "falling" and withdrawing from the meeting. I thought heat 8 was protected so why is the other reserve allowed in? Just opening up to this being exploited this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Arch Stanton Posted Tuesday at 07:33 AM Popular Post Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:33 AM With all the feeling of Groundhog Day with the injuries yet again, one thing has gone under the radar and that is the consistent form of Danny King. He’s already fully justified his selection and proven just how much that hand injury was holding him back last year. So pleased for him he’s one of the good guys is Danny. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the rain doesn't cause a call off till later in the season when doyle and Thompson are potentially back - as that will make our life a little bit harder - although Ben would hopefully be back as well... Isn't Ipswich like his worst track? As much as I like Ben might be better to have a guest around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to pray there isn’t too much rain because this is the only chance of progressing as they’ll likely get. A re-staging with Ben Cook in the Lynn side and Ipswich at full strength would give them zero chance with all due respect.

TNT only cover league matches. They didn’t even give updates or a mention that any other matches were on neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at least half a lap behind and he just stopped riding the fourth bend allowing the bike to gently roll in to the fence, jumping off it before it did so. He was not holding his shoulder as he walked back to the pits. Did he aggravate an old injury……maybe, we’ll never know but Heat 8 effectively won the meeting for the Stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted Tuesday at 11:36 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:36 AM What is the point of heat 8 being a protected heat if the stronger reserve can be brought in if the RS gets injured. The stronger reserve should start from 15m to stop this being manipulated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dusty in the first 3-4 heats, I was at the back of the grandstand and I was getting dust in my eyes, which has never happened before when I’ve been sat up there 🤷🏻♂️ Edited Tuesday at 11:50 AM by SuperStarsFan91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British speedway though, so will never happen. Clearly Ashton wasn't in a good place from his Glasgow match last week. Should have put his hand up and sat out last nights meeting, allowing stars to get a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
