2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted March 19, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Tough debut in the Bs First up was a points race, first half of the race wasnt too bad closed down a breakaway then came to the front and stayed there a too long hoping that i might hold on for some points. Wasnt to be, after that the pace picked up and i was just hanging on. Next a 40 lap scratch, fast from the gun and stayed fast most of the race. Was near the back for virtually all of it. Great win for Danny here, ride of the night. Last was a 30 lap scratch and felt ok, poorly positioned though so couldnt contest the sprint. I doubt i'd have done anything in any case but at least i felt like i had something left by the end unlike the previous race where i was having to go in the red repeatedly just to hold wheels and ended up totally spent and just rolling round the final lap in last place.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 19, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Only took part in 2 races tonight as I was called away before the first race. Picked up a third in the 25 lap scratch and a disappointing 4th in the 20 lap. Hey ho. Darryl Gunson and Big Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted March 19, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Well done to Danny, what a ride and what a sprint. Iain, you were not last in the scratch race as a fair number of people (ahem) had been lapped, well done on first time in b's. Al, I have your towel, I am making a habit of collecting sweaty things after taking Iain's helmet home the other night.

Big Al Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks Paul, it wasn't really sweaty anyway! Not a huge bunch in the A's tonight, think there were 9 in the first 40 lap Scratch, finished fourth as four of us managed to lap everyone else, not much of a sprint left and some burning lungs after that effort! Reasonable effort in the 60 lap points, penultimate sprint was just piped by Davy Lines (should have stood up for the sprint!) then kept rolling at speed with 10 to go after it and found myself approaching half a lap up. Pulled up the track as the first chase group approached, they caught me, I tagged on and then they gave up. I continued my breakaway for another 5 laps with a couple of chasers eventually catching again, got swallowed by the bunch on the last lap, all good fun! Wasn't feeling very motivated for the last 30 lap scratch, but our bunch of 7 stayed together till the last straight despite a couple of big digs by Andrew Whitehall, rolled over in 7th.

2023 Subscriptions martin Posted March 20, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 When I bought that pair of wheels from Jim Brogan last month I never realised what good tubs they were shod with. Just found out how much a replacement Continental Sonderklasse would cost Danny's got trashed on the formation lap for the first race which meant he had to sit it out. The night did get better though - he's still beaming about bagging his first win in the B's. Think he'll be riding cheaper tubs from now on though...
