I think the young Aussies would edge this U21 meeting: Bewley, Kemp, Rowe, Flint, Palin, Gilkes, Edwards Jaimon Lidsey, Zach Cook, Jordan Stewart, Zane Kennedy, Matthew Gilmore, Connor Bailey, Jed List Unless, of course, we included Robert Lambert. Connor Bailey will not ride for Australia, he has confirmed that he will ride for GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted December 23, 2019 This Kent column is now becoming famous ( infamous ?!!) for talking about everything except Kent The conversation is now about Australians and Kent have never had an Australian. The first being in 2020 as Cameron Heeps joins us. I'd love to see some comments about the Kings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted December 28, 2019 Today I started a new venture. Kent Speedway Fans TV, will initially be a pre recorded show but if it takes off I hope to broadcast live ala speedway tavern (but a lot more amateur lol). Fellow fans Glenn Collins and Wayne Raines joined me to discuss the 2019 season and look forward to 2020 season. And we were joined by Dan Gilkes who was "live from the sofa" and he talks about his speedway history, reviews his 2019 season and looks ahead to his championship debut in 2020. Hopefully it will be ready to put out on new years day. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a lot of news on anything at the moment but are there any plans to alter the track for Championship racing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping to get it on to a laptop in the next couple of days. Probably gonna have to be uploaded in 2 parts as well as wont be far off 2 hours once put together.

Can't remember why I did it and I watched as one of the track guys drove a tractor backwards with spikes ripping up the track. What surprised me though was the width of the track in the corners, so I don't see how Blueherb777 can get his wish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I say this as so many riders have difficulty when entering the second and fourth bends,I just wonder what it will be like with the extra speed of Championship Speedway? That’s all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel1 72 Posted January 6, 2020 Bueherb777 I understand your thinking and though the bends have the width it is more a case of the straights being rather on the narrow side that I perceive to be the bigger issue. As for carrying more speed, the more experienced riders know how to set things up to accommodate the track peculiarities. I think that times will not be substantially different and that track record will take some knocking back. Luke has ridden the perfect line around that raceway without worrying it. Personally, when it was announced I disbelieved it and still do today. Whatever, it will remain as the NL track record and for the purists a new one will be accredited to the Championship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
