There was a couple of individuals who had a go at the track during Havelocks reign, Hainsworth is one of those and he’s still learning the craft.

If you were already trying to get out of the car park during the first junior race then you wouldn’t have seen any lap of honour anyway , but an announcement for impatient people might of helped. Try writing to Redcar council about the car park, see if you have more luck than the club.

Scunthorpe had their ‘lap of honour’ , just after the first junior race, like always happens at Redcar, no matter who wins. Agree about the car park but it’s not the speedways car park , and the council have been asked to do something about it but don’t hold your breath.

If you actually read the press release, Elliot is too busy running his new car business for speedway at present and it’s by mutual agreement that he steps down.

Dayle has not ridden in the Premiership, just the Championship plus the NJL and MDL. Nice lad but I assume the point is to give him ‘track time’ but it shouldn't be at the expense of a novice/junior.

Damp overnight but nothing much. Track covers are going down just in case , small shower forecast but shouldn't be any major issues.

With only 10 fixtures to complete why bother changing the rider order at all ? Although I cant see the averages changing much with only 5 home matches .

Try looking on his facebook page, or even Redcars page , a fantastic lineup for such a meeting. Im sure it will be pre covered in the Star next week too.

A sign of the times with only two clubs involved. Junior speedway is following the seniors and dying a slow death due to a lack of riders, stupid rules and interference from the powers that be. Think the NJL is struggling with Berwick pulling out and others struggling to find riders to fill the teams. Even Scunthorpe amateur meetings are struggling to attract entries and its the beginning of the season when riders are normally itching to ride.

I would think the clubs priority is ‘developing’ rather than winning but I do hope the crowd sticks with it to make it worth while as even I can see a couple of large defeats coming.

Not true. Each club can set its own admission policy, some are one rider one mechanic, a lot are one rider one mechanic and one guest . Each club also has its own H&S officer and a Clerk of the Course who should sort any issues out as regards issues in the pits. How they cope at Sheffield always amazed me !

It’s a development league with only 5 home matches, it isn’t about winning it’s about finding some new riders before the sport disappears altogether.

He isn’t apparently.

As it’s the first time ever the SCB have published the fixtures, that’s why they will be inaccurate.

Thankfully I’m hearing he’s ’stood down’, not 100% sure who will end up running it , maybe a previous co-ordinator is coming back…..possibly.
