Jeanzi 39 Posted March 27, 2019 I sadly designed to suits back in my school days. This was based of Carl Stonehewer and Peter Karlssons suits in the early 2000’s. They were awful but it’s what was wanted. These were 100% team suits with the race jackets worn over the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moranboys 411 Posted March 27, 2019 in all fairness why don't we have th teams just wearing the racing bibs over there own leathers.riders are distinctive enough for people to know who they are.wether they are pink and black as in josh bates or blue as are chris harris,s set or black and green for charles wright it doesn't matter.i know as a youngster that doug dyer stood out in his white hassled leathers.its the same, to some degree, like ty proctors distinct orange goggles and peak.very distinctive.

Guest WTF1 Posted March 27, 2019 Obviously nobody can read, couldn't care less who wears what coloured Kevlars or if they are bo***ck naked, THIS IS A SCUNTHORPE THREAD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted March 27, 2019 I feel hairs are being split here. If all seven riders in a speedway team wear almost identical race wear regardless of a race jacket being present or not or whether they were provided by the promoter or not then they are team race suits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To take it back to Scunthorpe matters then, I've noticed the blue kevlars of Josh Auty at the first two meetings I've been to this year, they've either been at the back, on the centre green or on the track! What was it 9 heats before he scored any points and that heat only had three riders in it. He'd better get his machinery sorted out if he's going to stay your number 1. Still he might be thinking about retirement again! Having said this he'll probably come to Sheffield next Sunday and score a maximum. (By the way think I've read somewhere that kevlars have almost doubled in price this year, that might be a reason for some teams not to have race suits) Edited March 27, 2019 by Steve55 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can get them supplied usually within a week however at this time of year there could be a wait of up to 4 weeks... So if there are any companies or individuals interested all they need to do is have a word with Rob to see that he is up for it then get in touch... Polish Kevlar manufacturers charge between 150 to 350 quid more than that... Regards THJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think young Josh could be a key rider for us Sunday, ridden Sheff a couple times in the past, and a much better rider than what he was then... Can't see us winning but can see us springing a surprise or 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see us winning but can see us springing a surprise or 2 Doesn't matter if young Josh has improved 100%, it's old Josh that needs to pull his finger out if you're going to get anything out of this! Mind you Garrity and Allen do ride Sheffield well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
