The EWR, since it was re-laid a few years back has made our track too easy to ride & when newbies & below standard riders can turn up & ride 4 laps without difficulty needs to stop. Giving a racing strip that produces entertainment & tight results is one thing but it is results that get punters through the gates & we need some of the old faces back & new faces to see what our sport, & more so in Scunthorpe, is about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scunthorpe town folk are very proud of Tai's achievements and have taken him as their own. Many have not seen what Tai actually does for a living.. It would be such a coup for the town if Tai would commit to riding in a meeting...would also give Scunthorpe Speedway a much needed publicity boost locally. I've always felt a bit let down that Tai has never returned to his hometown track in a riding capacity... the track on which he launched his British career. would he ride in Josh Autys testimonial be a big draw card and help Josh boost his meeting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thebaron 434 Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Anyone else read this week's Star inside back page ? Zane Keleher "Britain I am here.. ! Read his story no disrespect to young Jed List but I reckon Keleher is the next "real deal" off the prolific Aussie production line. I know Jedd could well be "the next Leigh Adams" for all we know ? But he looks a bit behind Keleher in terms of experience and being ready to throw into the Scorpions 1-5 in the cut and thrust of Championship Speedway. Was Keleher every on the radar ? If not I reckon he should be ? We all know how highly we rate Edinburghs Aussie Josh Pickering and Keleher finished 14th ahead of Pickering in the very competitive Aussie Championship. I'd have Keleher on speed dial !?? Edited February 3, 2019 by the outsider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted February 3, 2019 I, also, thought there were a couple of Aussie youngsters to try before Jedd especially as he only started 500cc racing last year so a year too soon was my thinking but Ryan & Jake must see something in him to put his name to Scunthorpe. It was only a couple of years ago we tried another youngster in Tom Armstrong, who again at the time, thought it was a year too soon, but we never got to find out as a bad injury curtailed his season.
