A Tactical Ride (TR) is permitted after Heat 4. It can be used only once only when a team is 10 or more points in arrears - a programmed rider can then be nominated as a Tactical Ride.

acef 795 Posted May 6, 2019 Racing was garbage before the track grade. Its improved a lot since but played into Poole's hands. Way, way overwatered and its caught us right off guard. Who ever made the call needs a word in the ear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The TR rider starts from the starting tapes and any race points scored are doubled (providing he beats an opposing rider Edited May 6, 2019 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still think in terms of Speedway being at Wimbledon, West Ham, New Cross, Hackney, Crayford and Wembley only to stop dreaming and have to come back to the present and the total lack of tracks in London.

Rob B 1,256 Posted May 6, 2019 Since last year it’s been tactical substitute from 6 points behind. They heavily watered the track after heat 8 which wasn’t needed as it’s been overcast and cold, since then it’s been all Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
