TTT Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Good Team Performance to get the season up and running, Every Rider getting at least a paid win apart from Nicholls but he'll get it right at home eventually imo. King's Lynn have problems already, No member of the tail end scored a point against an opponent until Heat 14. The youngsters will come good but the KL promotion are asking too much too soon imo as they're racing against riders who've got years of experience over them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Well I hope the new owners invest in a bit of dirt, blue grove coming out the corners is not good, first few races okay,, but track let to dry out too fast, I hope they learn from that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Pretty satisfied with 40 points after an awful start, Lynn were yards behind going into the first turn and paid the price. Thereafter was better with plenty of encouraging signs, thought Rushen & Scott were on the pace and didn't look out of place, will only get better. But for the EF for Jan and the referee daydreaming at the start of heat 8 it could have been a bit closer. Deserved win for Ipswich though and the Stars have it all to do to grab the bonus on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelinehugger Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Congratulations to the young short bald headed gentleman on the second bend who won the first prize in the raffle. The chocolate fireguard will come in very handy I’m sure.🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Blimey, the wind made it feel like the Arctic at Foxhall tonight. Bomber, Kvech & Lawson were entertaining, shame the bald dry track made it a bit of a gatefest. The Lynn reserves will get better, Scott in particular looking on the pace.

TB1 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Good crowd and a comfortable win. Did scott get distracted by the red light in heat 3? Edwards Man of the match for me. I think this group may come down to the bonus point with us and lynn. Shout out to Lawson for great win in heat 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Tac sub 5-1 meant the scoreline flattered lynn imo, long long tail. Decent first home performance throughout the team, Scotty will fair better when the track is grippier and he can work the bike and find different lines. Understand the comments on the track getting slick and dusty quite quickly tonight but I don’t think there’s much more they can do with such a strong drying wind as this evening, it was well watered before the meeting and watered at each grading break, while dry and dusty towards the end it was consistent and smooth which is good to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point regarding Lynn's long tail. Everyone talks about Fricke, Harris and Kvech. The problem is if anyone has an off night you are asking kids to carry the team. My point being that you can potentially ruin up and coming British youngsters by pushing them too early. Yes the league is weaker but it's still a tough ask for 16 year olds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty dry in heat one,, so was already onto a loser with the track, and from what I saw was only watered once during the meeting, although there was a lot of chatting with friends during breaks, so you may be right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTRSports Posted 55 minutes ago Report Share Posted 55 minutes ago Rushen wasn't too far off the pace for a rider of his age with his Limited experience, and Scott looked decent in most races too, it was encouraging maybe wait until the half way point to judge. Overall very cold, a few entertaining moments most of the crowd will go home happy with a win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite having Fricke, they've got a similar problem to Ipswich in that they need others to be consistent. Castagna was frustratingly poor - and then popped out on the very dry surface to take a win, when Nicholls and Hellstrom-Bangs must have fancied their chances. As with any match: same riders, different night = different result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted 42 minutes ago Report Share Posted 42 minutes ago Not able to attend tonight but good to see it went well for the Witches, great night for Edwards and a solid all round display for the rest really. Always a concern to hear worries for KL on meeting no 1 as been there a few times. Intrigued to hear about the big screen, also what was he presentation like without Kevin etc? Expect to be there for the 23rd match v the new boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully once the weather is more consistent they can build the dirt up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
