Vince and Christopher’s Dad Totally agree with your comments. The camaraderie during the year was topped of with the Newport meeting, with everyone mucking in and helping one another. Paul .

Hi Daniel Not to worry, keep your eye on the forums, you may be able to make other dates. Good Luck for the national. Paul

This session is filling up quickly don't miss out. You do need to pre book. We do not allow people to just turn up on the day as we attempt to program rides and ability's. Paul

Steve, How could this be picked up before the meeting? I don’t have a problem with Kye and if this is the case I know his father sets the bike up to meet Kye's ability, which on Sunday was outstanding. This is fact Steve you cannot set up an inexperienced rider’s bike the same as experienced rider. On Sunday several riders were unable to slide the bikes round Scunthorpe making this very difficult for the all riders. The parents should have taken control and made the bikes easier to ride and slide and develop the skills. As stated there is a wide range of abilities in the championship. Agree with this although I still believe a minimum age should be introduced as any one under 13 is unable physically to hold on to a 500 cc when the going gets tough. I believe the direction we are moving is great, but I believe a 350 class for under 13 should be part of the set up, before we have some major injuries. I cannot agree on this Steve, you do not have to look too closely around the pits to see this occurring. Parent’s ego outweighing the true support to one or two of the kids. Regards Paul

Quote (wildcat steve) If he did have a 350 why was it not picked up in scrutineering???? Steve can you tell the difference by looking at an engine on a stand which is 350 and which is a 500 with out taking the head off? You can not blame a scrutineer for this. The parents should be upfront with the Peter Oaks. My understandings were that riders who wished to be part of the championship and did not hold a 500 licence was assessed at Buxton on there ability to control a motor cycle. The riders on the 350's were given up grates to enable them to compete in the championship on 500 bikes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote (morganbike) I know from my son Daniel's experience that at 12 years old he can lap faster on a 350 than a 500.The 350 wont lift as easily at the start and dirt will drag the motor down sufficiently to drive out of corners and not spin !. I may be wrong but these are my observations and not the gospel Phil, a rider on a 350 then has an unfair advantage over other riders, who are attempting to tame 500cc bikes on slick, wet tracks. I would prefer 500 on a gripy track. The likely hood of making the start is better on a 350 (unfair), but the problem is in the turns, it’s not good when a rider in front straight lines the corner in stead of sliding and is highly dangerous to other riders. Speedway regulations 19.4.1 In the event of any competitive racing. Competitors must only take to the track in accordance with their registration and using the same class of machinery. This is a U/15 500cc championship, therefore people should be upfront and not enter unless on a 500 engine. If riders are on 350's they should be open with Peter, because the insurance cover will be void. Unless Clownes will agree to special compensation to contract. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the U/15 championship has been a fantastic progression for British Speedway and for the future of our sport. However the future goals will only happen, if these kids (11-15 years olds) are developed correctly and given correct guidance. Many accidents during the championship have been down to Parents setting bikes up for the riders incorrectly, instead of looking at the bigger picture of rider development which is why the championship was started. Elite league settings are not suitable for most U/15 (we do have several exceptions at the older end Auty/Taylor etc.) A 500 engine set up to spin, enables a rider to learn throttle control, while learning race craft (passing using different lines etc.) Most accidents have been in the first turns were riders have been quick off the start, but have been unable to turn at the corners or the bike ignition as been to retarded to much creating to much drive or the use of to smaller sprockets for top end speed. To be involved in the championship is great experience in many areas of rider development that is if the kid really wants it off course and not the parents. Bike preparation, organisation of paperwork, travelling planning/over night, signing on, scurtineering standards, and personal pressure of parades, performing in front of people, interviews and having the opportunity to compete against other riders of similar age on similar sized machines are all part of the bigger picture. These are all experiences, plus many more that the championship brings. The lads who moved up to the conference league this year have already progressed at a lot quicker rate than we normally see, because of the experience they gained in the U/15's last year. The true spirit needs to be maintained and perhaps consideration should be given to dividing the championship into two sections 13-15 500cc bikes 10-12 350cc, both raced on the same day keeping the championship together. In Sweden, Denmark and Australia U/15 championships are on 125, providing competitive low speed racing, while riders learn race craft. I seem to remember these countries have been producing world champions on a regular basis. Paul

Just an observation, the standings on George's website are based on the points each rider scored from their 5 riders in each round todate, not on the championship points allocated to each rider based on the points they scored during the meeting. Not sure without doing the calculations whether the positions are very different.
