Correct - although the point was who controls the riders going onto the track, and that is the Clerk of the Course :o)

It actually is the Clerk of the Course who releases the riders onto the track, once he is satisfied they are clear to enter. The referee controls the 2 minute warning, and in the SGP he switches on the 2 minutes when the Clerk of the Course (Race Director) gives the ok to open the pit gate to let the riders out. To my knowledge it is no different in British league speedway.

How long was the track please arnieg?

Excellent answer. Thanks. LOL

Confirmed where please?

No, In case of injury the team manager is allowed to change the squad.
