Genuinely curious if people of his level can make a living from speedway. You would be surprised .If you think he is not making enough there must be a few others in deep sh#t. Ps. He has done a lot more than Procter. IMO.There are very few make it to the Top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As has happened since the year dot when "5pt second strings" became the "endangered species" each season.. Decent HL's and decent reserves are shoe ins... One lad I used to know well was a master at finishing the season at a "just right" average for the following year.. A "six point man all day long" who always ended his seasons on five point something.... Never missed a season start in many, many years.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scampispeedway 67 Posted June 16, 2022 Looking at the latest Green Sheet figures, Max Clegg and Paul Starke are the only two riders who have marginally improved since the start of the Season and so overall we have a Team Average which is lower than first declared which was bad enough then.
