Did he get a pre-loved gown for winning rider of the night? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an easy way to make the place look much neater and tidier.

You can't be right all of the time and some of us are rarely right at all, I'm in the second category 🤣. Looks like my instincts were bob on regarding Reid Battye after watching the Aussie Champs series though. This ex road racer just had the build, style and racing instinct to make an impact and he certainly did that last night. Could be a tough weekend next week for the mighty Comets.

comet49 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 (edited) 15 hours ago, Bagpuss said: There were some excellent races but also a lot of strung out heats, feel that the venue would benefit massively from floodlights so the track guys aren't battling with the wind AND the sun. The shape is amazing and I don't think the circuit has fulfilled its potential yet. Floodlights were intended to be in before the season started with a 6pm start, the electricity board haven’t installed them yet though.

SteelShoe Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 (edited) Entertaining meeting on a beautifully prepared track. The track changed constantly as the dirt moved out and the moisture evaporated quickly. It is a constant battle to retain enough moisture on such a wide track in full sun and breeze. The two Comet 5-1's in heats 12 and 14 both involving Cooper Rushen who fully demonstrated his superb bike skills and advanced racing brain for someone only 16 sealed the meeting for the Comets after it was all square at the interval with a few home fans getting a bit uneasy. The job was completed in heat 15 with classy win by Comets No1 Jonas Jeppesen from the impressive Josh Pickering with Cookie 3rd. Young Niklas started really well but appeared to suffer bike problems in his 3rd ride which probably curtailed his scoring. It was great to see Tate win heat 14 this can only be good for his confidence. The skipper started really well but at the sharp end of the meeting was on the wrong end of Scunny heat advantages in heats 11 and 13. The Scorps battled away with every rider chipping in at times. Stand outs were Picko and young Ryan Ingram at no7 whose progress is impressive. Good to see Captain Comet make a return, big well done to whoever it is 😉🤣 UTC.

Neila Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 (edited) Apparently niklas was on a borrowed bike for his last ride . Regarding the point for batch/Cooper the ref asked for a video replay and awarded coops the point, myself and many others thought batch had won easily, maybe batch shut off at the last minute to let coops get the point 🤔 Edited April 19 by Neila 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Walked the track before the meeting yesterday and it has a new mix of Grano dirt in it, which hasn’t been used before. Used to absorb the moisture in the track and avoid future rain offs. Could see it working yesterday by how dry the track was in the end. The imminent move away from afternoon racing will help massively by keeping the sun off it, as the track gets no shade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
