Very tough meeting for the mighty Comets, Danny King especially has shown a real liking for the GT Tyres Arena. Jonatan Grahn is probably an upgrade on the current form of Jake Mulford having already had two excellent meetings at Northside. Paco is not Eric Riss who also loves Northside but has shown in the past that he is capable of double figures. Jason Edwards another rider who has had plenty of laps around Northside and achieved double figures. Jason has shown good form following his recent return from injury. Both Ace Pijper and Jody Scott go well at Northside. 

Comets will need a real solid team performance with another scrap for every point attitude and good starts. Should be a cracker ! UTC 👊

Just looked at the forecast and it looks decent for today...

Going to risk it even with Cumbria s "changeable":D weather...

Still might be tempted to stay over given I had a great night there a good many years ago after going to watch the Comets v The IOW, with Danny Bird riding superbly all evening...

When I asked the landlord of the pub we were in what time he closed, his answer was "when everyone has finished drinking"...B)

Which was around 4am if memory serves....:D

Taking my lad today though so maybe just coming back might be safer!....

With some the riders on view it should hopefully be a cracker on that track...

That will probably be the same establishment when a certain now GP rider also riding for the IOW was the last out of the bar at 5 am made breakfast and scored double figures at Newcastle later on the same day 😉

Hope you enjoy your trip to Northside, have you been before ?

First time mate....

Is it cash only? I think I have read it is on here, and is there a decent car park?

Plenty of parking next to the track, £1 yes cash only, due to very patchy mobile connections, hope you enjoy the Northside experience

Very tough meeting in store for our lads this afternoon, Redcar are a strong team with a lot of riders who ride our track well (who doesn’t ) and in my opinion are stronger from Grahn now in as a guest.

We have been on form over the last few weeks so need to continue this and let’s hope it starts with us winning the coin toss as this can be important early on in meeting.

Never been to a meeting before where a heat got delayed due to one of its riders being locked in the toilet and unable to get out.......:D

I won't embarrass him by naming him...

(His initials are VF)...;)

Yes and he’s in the sh*t

Brilliant Heat 13....

All four riders in it for all four laps with King just holding on at the line ..

And then they all stop at bend 2 an eff off into the pits instead of doing a lap of honour....

Give the fans something to get excited about and then take away the joy in an instant...:unsure:
