Charlie Venegas is still racing in the USA, aged 54. He was around a 5 and a half point man last time he raced here a few years back in 97. Surely must have improved with all the extra experience since then Or there's Bart Bast who is the same age. He was only a 5 point man last time he was over in 89...but that's even more years of experience since his last UK spell so possibly an absolute bargain average Edited August 28, 2021 by HenryW 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rune Holta (48 tomorrow) is probably the oldest who is racing at a serious professional level Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted August 28, 2021 If Palin was to miss next weeks meetings against Ipswich who can guest as the RS does it have to be another 1* as Peterborough started the season 0.99 under the permitted team limit , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,191 Posted August 28, 2021 I would have said signing a rider knowing he won’t turn out for you and getting facility wouldn’t be allowed, but then I remembered Nicoli Klindt. The other ray of light is rules could be set, re-written, then re-written again all within the space of a few weeks. The final re-write may benefit you? The final ray of light is they could just set a rule but make an exception for Peterborough as they have done with the tyres. As an aside does anyone know how we are doing attracting more fans and big ticket sponsors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From 12.3.1 : In the event a Rising Star is absent, with a facility permitted, he can be replaced by; i. any guest rider from the Rising Star list, of that teams initial permitted Team Declaration rating or below Edited August 28, 2021 by NeilWatson 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the Championship you can use a 3* rising star to replace a missing 1*, as long as you had space to fit a 3* in your original team declaration. Several teams have taken advantage of this during the year. Obviously, this being speedway, it doesn't mean that rules will be the same in the higher league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like so many rules, open to interpretation 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
