According to William tracks are far more differently set up now than they were back then. So obviously finding a set up is going to take a little bit of time he’s actually getting better each time he goes out. 

He's now had more time than the rider he replaced but hardly scoring what  Clegg would have achieved in  my opinion.

This is just great, so tell me which gear ratio? Do we change it every race as the track slickens? Back wheel right back or forward? Toe out or in line? We'll leave ignition timing and jetting for the time being and I don't think we'll need to tilt the bars forward a touch to get us up the front on grippy starts - there's not enough races to sort it all out!

Wow! Now here's someone that's been a spanner man and from back when bikes were bikes I bet?
(Who were you mechanic for?)

My second visit ever to Armadale...………. so were Workington bad or Edinburgh that good, both I think.

Plus points, Klindt managed a win in heat 15.

Bad points, I still don't like the track, £18.50 for an adult, £3.00 for a programme, so two adults, programme plus drinks raffle ticket £48.00, oh and £18.00 for  bus from city centre.

 

Sour grapes, ouch.

Cant see me going back for many years, even some Monarchs fans on the bus called it a Dump.:o

Edinburgh looking good for the League this year.

Went once around 15 years ago, stood in the 3rd/4th bend covered area where you only got to see half the race at the other end of the track , think we got well beat that night as well.  

Vowed never to return and never will.

Proctor is known for it, dunno why he bothers riding sometimes.
