He had never ridden a lay down engine until the Laurels. So I am Looking forward to watching him develop. Doubt he is going to develop into a GP star. Let him ride at Lydd rather than takeaway a team place from an up-and-coming teenager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the most memorable seasons I had watching as a Rye supporter was when Andrew Silver made his comeback. I'm sure he must have added a few on to the attendance figures at most tracks he raced at during the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted December 9, 2018 Maybe some fans like seeing the old timers ride, but it's not for me. It's ok in individual meetings, but not in the league. The points limit being reduced should mean more places for youngsters, not old ringers. Maybe there should be a veterans league run along the same lines as the SDL. It would make for an entertaining second half event for those that want more races for their money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hurryās on a very attractive average and every team needs someone to aspire to and less from the front. Especially as it looks like Bowen, Boxall, Stoneman & Thomas are all ruled out for different reasons. I must admit, Iām intrigued who the number 1 is going to be.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Len is often accused of being too loyal and that may well show if he favours Spooner over Brooks as i agree Charlie has further to go in the sport. Still think whoever they track it will be a solid team BUT the influence of Bowen will be missed more than just on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
