PhilTheAce 498 Posted January 21, 2022 Tungates well liked at belle Vue, his performances and passing at home was a joy. Away from NSS, well.......... I always say it's home where we loose the most matches and loose any 2 legged ties. So getting some homies is the way to go for belle Vue 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's true. However, in the past riders who rode at smaller tracks didn't have the power or set ups to compete on big, fast tracks. It seems to me that modern bikes are built for speed and fast tracks so much less advantage for us at the NSS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be a point under but both decent at home and wouldn't break the bank like others listed. Allen over bwd any day or nite of week,bargin av Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's why the Aces usually struggle to win trophies, most riders thought / think "oh boy we're at Belle Vue next week, brilliant", especially in the Hyde Rd days & now at the NSS....

It seems to me that modern bikes are built for speed and fast tracks so much less advantage for us at the NSS. There are almost no "small tracks" now Kirky Lame, Arlington & Purfleet are gone. Some riders couldn't be bothered to try to learn how to ride them then..... Why would they now? Give me a EoESg or NSS over Monmore, as a spectacle, but racing at "small tracks" is more interesting to watch than a follow the leader fest at a big (Swindon) or slick medium (Poole/Brandon) track. 3 hours ago, stevehone said: tracks like BV sort the 4 out on track from rider to racer. big track should be more common Big.Track.Common Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted January 23, 2022 I wonder what average Woffy would come in on? Last rode here in 2016 finishing with 7.03 I believe, then there would be the 2.5% British discount........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
