Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted August 31, 2023 Sheffield should be using whichever average is highest. Established PL or converted CL for Vissing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted August 31, 2023 I've sent a text to clear it up. "The 4.43 is an assessed average as V hadn't completed enough meetings with the rules that season. His actual ave for that year was 3.40, so gets the minimum ave of 4.00 based on his 10 rolling matches which is in line with this seasons rulebook." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with the rule that states the most recent average should be used, higher or lower and converted if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't understand why they used to hold the British Championship there year after year until the NSS was built. Harris, Nicholls the list is endless. SKY proved why Monmore was such a popular track. They always wanted it on the box. The track was always superbly prepared with Doc Bridgetts in charge and riders knew they were in for a well prepared track. Some riders never got on with it because they didn’t have the skill or technique to handle it well. It’s that simple. Class riders can ride anything. Emil is proof of that. I remember first time Gollob rode it it literally took him 6 laps to figure it. You need skill to ride it, pure and simple. Since Doc left the standard hasn’t been the same sadly. But track prep has always been pretty important to Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any rider who has talent has no problem with Monmore Green starting with Doyle and Sayfutdinov downwards. Throttle bashers e.g. Bewley will never "get it".Regarding the track, when Doc Bridgett was doing the track we won track of the year something like 3 years out of 4. The racing was superb, a very big loss to Wolves when Bridgett had to finish, he was absolutely key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a ruling in that only meetings from 2021, 22 & 23 would be used in a rolling average. Any rider with an older average will start on that until 3H3A rides have taken place, hence Tai getting a new average on 2nd Sept. When Crump came back, he was supposedly on an 8.4 average for PL but when Plymouth wanted to use him in the CL he was reduced down to 8 ( because he had another year out in 2020, HEY, so did everybody) so it could be converted to 12 to fit him in.
