    Yep. You can't tell me that he can't afford to help Adams out with shipping a bike over and riding. He's a wealthy young man.

    I would guess Poole are one of the Prem clubs that want the Prem to stay.. Hence our tinted post ..Poole don't do second best

    When he leaves the track alone as you say "slick track" It's only slick later on,when Buster leaves in alone. Why not put a fair bit less shale on to start with, and spike from mid track to the fence. Spiking digs into the surface making it a bit looser/ grippy, but with less dirt on to start with, it might give us an inbetween the two track types

    Any news on the sale front Skidder. What I mean is anyone interested. Wouldn't expect you to let anything out that shouldn't be.

    Kings Lynn 2019

    Agree. Iv'e seen some good meetings on a slicker track too. With a grippy track like Lynn, you need a strong motor and big nads. You can't ride it half hearted, you have to attack it.I f you hesitate and back off a little the bike is liable to straighten up or rear up and chuck you off the back. Lambo and Bomber spring to mind that both attack that type of track.. It wouldn't hurt to try a slicker track and spike it up a bit, more so from mid track to the outside, and give it a try. I've even read from some BV fans that the NNS provides better racing when slicker... And that is what you call a top track

    Poole 2019

    I've said many times that it should not of been allowed. Morris did not fit, i don't blame Poole or Lynn.. It don't matter who pushed what, The fault lies higher up the ladder. Somerset were 4 riders down in the cup leg 2 and the couldn't use Wright at Lynn because he was 0.05 over.. Either everyone gets the +5% away or no one does.It's not hard to understand.How many fans have moaned about Somerset winning the cup, I doubt if any have. Why....No special treatment was allowed !

    I think it comes down to skill, confidence, and the size of ones nads most of the time. I know TJ likes it grippy, he says it's easier to set the bike up. There seems to be a fine line setting a bike up, you can of course change the gearing, changing the jetting, going a little bigger will flatten the power a tad, if your spinning to much, retarding the timing will do the same, going the other way will make it a bit sharper. If the tracks slick you can move the rear wheel forward for a little extra grip, or move the wheel back if its grippy. All of these can "overlap" a bit so it can be hard getting it spot on. Hence why you sometimes see teams struggle at the start of meetings. Having said that, Lynn has been grippy for years and Neils has been great. Maybe at nearly 37 he is not prepared to risk it as much these days. He deffo don't look as confident as he used at the AFA .

    Kings Lynn 2019

    It's a bit of a funny one for me if i'm honest. I know he has been loyal over the years. While I wouldn't like another team to benefit form his lowish average, he has looked very tentative at times this season and it isn't like him at all, he used to ride Lynn with such confidence Something isn't right, but I guess only he knows the problem might be. He should be ripping it up in this league. Would I have him back in 2019. I would, but would want to hear from him first as to why his form/confidence seems to have gone missing at times. Surely his shoulder is ok now ?. Is he just on the slide a tad at nearly 37. Slow bikes ? Who knows.
  13. You know that is wrong... Don't you
  14. NEW FOR 2019 !!!! Will be available at the Poole track shop for £1.99, or free pair with every season ticket.
  15. Ermm… Morris 6.91 was effective from 1st Oct until the end of the season I thought.. No meetings in Nov, but there was still meetings to be run in Oct Anyway it's done now.
  16. I don't blame Lynn or Poole. It's the people that run the sport that allowed it to happen
  17. Don't matter who proposed it, it shouldn't of been allowed to happen is my gripe. Not Lynn or Poole's fault it was allowed.. I believe Morris had an average of 6.91 at the time of the meeting. His average was due to drop below 6.75 after the season had finished. The season hadn't finished
  18. Luck and injuries aside, it's speedway and things like that happen I guess. It's the Morris bit that gets me. A rule that's probably been in place and followed for I don't know 10 or 20 years maybe can be ignored once for 1 team in the most important meeting of the year is just wrong.. and should not of been allowed to happen... Lynn v Poole...The Pirates have 1 rider out and are allowed Morris 6.91 for Kurtz 6.75. Lynn v Somerset cup final....Rebels have 4 riders out . They use C. Wright for BWD at home, but can't use him in the 2nd leg because he don't fit.. BWD 5.22 and Wright 5.27.. I know 2 wrongs don't make a right, but what a shower of rubbish the powers that be are..

    You can't have NKI, Wright or Covatti…. I have them in my Lynn 2019 line up Just for a bit of fun. I doubt the averages will be the same. Lambo 9.31 Riss 6.08 C. Wright 5.27( Somerset probably) R. Worrall 5.81 NKI 7.36 N .Covatti 4.70 S. Neilsen 3.67 42.49

    I remember Mel Taylor had tassels. John Davis was another colourful chap in his pink and white kit.
