You can't win

But they created a big fuss about it. Remember

Indeed.... I back Poole every season to win the title. I have them in a double with Wilder stopping Fury next week. The bet was placed a few months ago @ 5/1

Blair Scott on Jeremy Kyle
Bald Bloke replied to THE DEAN MACHINE's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I have been watching, but not seen anything on the box or heard anything yet. -
Depends

Reading some on the Poole thread, Chris Holder may not be able to ride in the UK again next year . If he does I can't see him being anywhere else other than Poole myself. But as you know, it's speedway and anything can happen

Can't go far wrong on a 4.96.

Nothing wrong.. Thanks.. Stupid... it was a final, Lynn's first chance to the title, NKI got injured, I think it was the night before and it was within the rules. Poole would of done the same !! You will never convince me that Ford would do anything in a final to benefit the other team. Poole where 1 rider down. About a week later, in the cup Somerset where 4 riders down and used Wright at home in leg one, but couldn't use him in leg 2 at the AFA because he was just over, and it was just. Do you think it was fair to allow Poole to do it with 1 rider out and not Somerset with 4 ? How is that fair? I don't think I read one person moaning about the way Somerset beat Lynn over 2 legs in the cup either. I wonder why. I'm not saying it was anyone's fault other that the powers that be. A rule is should be the same for all. If you going play ground stuff, Poole pulled the 1st hissy fit after Lynn booked Ellis, which was legal . Anything after that was avoidable if that was allowed, as stated in the rulebook. And before you say that Morris average fitted at the time, and they hadn't amended the averages, that's not the case at all. They fit now, but not at the time. And i'm not bringing it all up again. I was just replying to Lynn supporter Daniel Smith's post That's about it. On to 2019. And Buster is coming for you

Not this again.... You do like a dig at Lynn. Poole booked Morris at home and Eliis away, so Lynn booked Eliis at Poole away would of had Morris at home... Poole went nuts as the complained , despite it being perfectly legal at the time. That's what started all this off.. Lynn did nothing wrong. Everything was within the rules at the time that Poole had the "hissy fit".

So would I. He is less than Ty. Less than half a point higher than TJ. Morris as well.
-
I'd agree. You could get the pair for around 14.5 points.

"Mechanics" usually have jobs and do this for extra money, or know the rider to some extent, and do it for a mate.Maybe the real top guys have a team travel with them all over the world, but I very much doubt it. I wouldn't say most are classed as self employed mechanics. They change wheels, sprockets, maybe clutch plates, alter timing, that type of things, on the night. Usually they don't touch engines, that's a tuners job. I know an ex rider that used to spanner for Mads at £100 a meeting at Lynn. He had a day job. Not saying they don't deserve something/praise, but many are not "self employed mechanics", more like helpers and many do it for peanuts.

Some laps around Kings' Lynn, with speed and g force telemetry
Bald Bloke posted a topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Just thought it might be of interest to some of you. Notice the G force as the rider turns the bike. Makes you realise how hard it must be to hold on. Just click the link https://www.instagram.com/p/BSeOfPkARsn -

Bald Bloke replied to Bald Bloke's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I had a job to find it Martin. I reckon that 68 on a slick track ( compared to race night) would turn into 70 + or so on a race prepared track. Hope they were impressed. -
That wouldn't surprise me. Neils did seem very tentative at the AFA this season. It seems the track wasn't to his liking and it got in his head a bit maybe. His shoulder probably wasn't 100% either.
-
No ones business, but I can't see why a rider of his ability can't get permission to ride here
-
It isn't much, but can make a big difference if you have 2 or 3 when trying to fit a team together
-
If he rides I can think of 6 clubs he won't ride for

An Ippo stat for you Arch Ippo's new average speed set in 2017 is 45.96 mph
-
Looks strong to me.
-
No point in removing it now you have quoted it. Have done though, just leaves your quote !

44.84 mph I use this. Just enter length and time and then X the answer by 4 https://www.countcalculate.com/cars-and-speed/average-speed

No more

Not listed, but if you have the length and the track record, it could be worked out. If 347 m and 58.2 are correct, its 53.36
