Guest Riders

wasnt "proper second halfs" the fastest riders and 2nd fastest competing in a mini match, hence why times are written down, ? and young up and coming riders having a spin?

 

At Brough Park in the 70's it was Rider of the Night (3 heats - winners and quickest runner-up through to the final), Reserves Race and Stadium Scurry (which often involved the Reserves and/or "second-halfers") which often had 5 riders in it (Red, Blue, White, Yellow/Black, Green).

 

The Rider of the Night also had the visiting Silver Helmet Challenger rider in it, so that he didn't have to travel all the way for just the Silver Helmet Match Races!

 

We had 6 man teams in 1997 (that year only). For some bizarre reason the home side were numbered 1-6 and the away team 7-12!!!

Quick draft of what it could be like

 

5 Man Teams 15 heats all riders have 6 rides

Home Team Away Team

Heat 1 1-5 1-5

Heat 2 3-4 3-4

Heat 3 2-5 2-5

Heat 4 1-3 1-3

Heat 5 2-4 2-4

Heat 6 3-5 3-5

Heat 7 1-4 1-4

Heat 8 2-3 2-3

Heat 9 4-5 4-5

Heat 10 1-2 1-2

Heat 11 4-3 4-3

Heat 12 5-2 5-2

Heat 13 1-4 1-4

Heat 14 2-3 2-3

Heat 15 1-5 1-5

 

All riders must take a minimum of 4 rides, their other 2 rides can be replaced by any rider with a lower average. Riders injured on the night can be replaced with a rider with a lower average but a replacement rider can only do this once.

 

Just a thought, this could easily be amended to fit into 6 rider teams, with the 6th rider being a reserve, I will do a format for that another time.

Sorry you got the un editted version Ian

So Nick Morris gets injured guesting for one of Glasgow's rivals Somerset - had to happen sooner or later- and with important fixtures coming up the strain is really getting put on the Tigers. Don't think Swindon will be too happy either. Hope Lawson and the Worralls remain safe this weekend or teams are really going to struggle to field suitable replacements .
