Sorry to hear that Jane why is a good side like Buxton allowed to be decimated like this its not right...

Sorry it was not on my screen.did not realise it was so far down the list

Id go along with that,, definatly much better than the ridiculous format they are using at present...why dont you put it to Mr Morrish...? Ill back you..

Yes a couple of clubs may be agrieved if as Parsloes says the final is run somewhere with the teams that had qualified at the time the meeting was abandoned.but it is probably the best thing to do under the circumstances.. At least those riders will get 4 programmed rides..And not have to travel long distances for just 2 rides if their team did not qualify for the final...The format for this meeting is appalling anyway and should be run with 2 =16 heat semis at 2 different tracks followed by the final at a neutral track..It needs sorting if they are going to run it again next year as it is now, many riders will probably not wish to take part...

Taken from the Rye House web site the 4 riders representing the Cobras are Jamie Smith ..Kyle Hughes.. Lee Strudwick and Ben Morley..

I have just noticed Ashly Morris is in it,,so you are right Gordon,,why the hell isnt Marc in it i dont get it at all...

I believe you have to be 16yrs old to compete in this competition Mark is still 15..Obviously on ability he should be in it..I think I am correct with this being the reason ?

I think you may have heard right...

Engine rebuilds after a blow up can cost up to £9oo .We are talking a few thousand pounds over a season..Promotions such as Rye House ..scunthorpe are very keen to bring on youngsters .And there are the Amateur clubs ,,Southern track riders....The Dragons club...Who run at tracks like Rye house ... Kings lynn..Sittingbourne in kent ...Newport ,..exct..Who cater for all age groups,, and abilities...

Most teams could put a side together but i do not think the public appreciates the huge cost involved to the families of these youngsters ..Many just cant afford to travel the long distances involved...AND THEY RECIEVE NO PAY MENT FOR PROVIDING SECOND HALF ENTERTAINMENT...//And the cost of maintaining a Speedway Bike would frighten you to death //...

thecobras fielded a very strong side even without marc owen . ben morley an impressive 10 paid 12. mike bovis 2 wins and an engine failier when miles in front. Ashley morris had a win and two paid seconds behind team mate ben morley . and Derrol ritchings who i had not seen before scored a creditable 3 from 2 rides. for the barracudas nial strudwick battled hard for his 7 points from 4rides. if anyone can post the full card of results i would like to see them.

hi Nathan the other two riderson 250 bikes were brandon freemantle and robert lambert

thanks steven for the result info .I hope you enjoyed your races on saturday it looked like 3 promising youngsters to me

I have to apologise i refered to the pocket rockets and the kings lynn juniors as cobras and the barracudas im new at this posting game this refers to my original post.
