Even so, JL has to have three rides so Redcar need to capitalise on this. As far as Edwards goes, rather an enigma. Not the sort of rider you can rely on to always deliver the goods. 

have you not considered that unlike those lucky few with Polish Contracts, he probably has one very strong engine, a decent engine and a few that are not competitive at the highest level.

His spurts of excellence and mediocrity certainly support that sort of narrative far more than him being inconsistent

When we have a few mega talented young 16-17 year olds with mega rich Parents on GP engines its not always easy for others to compete on a level playing field.

Are Cooper Rushen’s parents “mega rich”?

So a 6 point deficit for Poole to make up. Time for another 60 point home win methinks.

Hopefully Lewi and Slater are fit enough to race and Cooper and Rocketman can get their machinery sorted.

You’ll wipe out that deficit in the first four heats tonight. No doubt about it.

Wright’s not the rider he’s been in recent seasons (due to injury, I assume) while Scott and Edwards were embarrassingly passive last night.

Tonight will be a comfortable 50-something, 30-something win for the Pirates.

You would have thought he would have used his best engine last night, paid 7 points on his own track is not good enough for a heat leader.

Poole to win so Shovvy and his buddy can celebrate with a flat white.

[Wee Eck]

Beware the cunning of the quiet hero, Gavin Parr……last year was Redcar 46 Poole 44 followed by a draw at Wimborne Road giving the Bears the aggregate win. And they’re already two better than that this year…….

Don't think so,  but some of his sponsors maybe are 🤔 And with coops being an great prospect any sponsor will be helping him in the best way possible

Poole will win this easily tonight, too many Redcar riders have little to no awareness of where their partner is or the opposition, Edward’s last night in one heat practically waved Lawson by because he left gap on the outside you could get truck through.

54-36

He wasn't great last night but came up with a win at the end, hopefully he will continue that. Will Cairns rode well until his last race.

[Steve Shovlar]

Any news on Kerr and Lightcap?

Kerr took a purler and although he rode on might be very stiff today. Can Lightcap ride with a damaged hand?

Thought Edwards was abysmal last night.

He scored a point in his first ride because Newman fell, two in his second because Rushen’s bike was damaged and Kerr was excluded, then there’s the one you’re talking to where he invited Lawson to pass him.

He came off the second bend in heat 13 in third behind the two Pirates and I instantly thought; ”he’s going to hold up Wright” as opposed to ”he’s going to chase the two Pirates”. I was correct.

Think my point was proved with last nights performance. I like Jason Edwards and seems a very approachable guy but it's not as though he's new on the scene. Been around a few years now and needs to gain more consistency. 

Don't buy all that rich parents stuff, if you're good enough you're good enough.
