There was a problem with watering around heat 11-12 when bowser dumped to much water on bends 1-2 but otherwise ok. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got some track specialists and 110% triers... It's away from home we'll struggle, especially once James Wright moves to number 1 and not reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a long time it looked like there would be no team so I’m very thankful Rob Grant took over. He may not be everyones cup of tea but deserves a lot of credit.Hopefully enough people come through the gates when restrictions are lifted to get us through this condensed season and we can all look forward to 2022 with renewed optimism. Sundays without speedway just wouldn’t be the same. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James will get a new average 7 days after completing 4 home and 4 away, which should be 8 August (ignoring rain-offs and rearrangements) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s correct. The way averages are calculated is all laid down in the Speedway Regulations http://www.scbgb.co.uk/regulations (Chapter 10) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
