When did Kings Lynn replace their solid wooden fence with Armco? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can imagine Drew 'Kevin & Perry' it can't be just me that thinks with that hair style he looks like Kevin Kemp will replace him. I hope it's not Drew Kemp don't fancy watching him backing the 3 riders Infront of him.. there's a reason he didn't get a team this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted March 5, 2023 It could be the wake up call that Drew needs to reignite his path to progress Initially being left out everywhere mustve been a bit of a shock Certainly not a shoe in that it will be him anyway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScunnyDan 335 Posted March 5, 2023 Having been told on how Jack's crash happened - it was an accident that would've happened on any other track in the country. As for Scunthorpe's fencing needing SCB inspections - we obviously have replaced our fence, which has already been SCB and FIM approved, while we will also have foam fences (similar to Berwick and Kings Lynn) coming in time for the season, in an attempt to make the track feel safer to ride on. It goes without saying though, I send my best wishes to Jack for a speedy and well recovery 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,038 Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I'd personally go for Kemp, if you compare his average as a number 6 3.15 (3.65) to Flint who rode as a RS 3.54 (4.25) it shows he's not far behind the man most agree should be the strongest "RS". He may also feel he has something to prove after being overlooked for a team spot in both leagues. There's no real risk with a rising star though, if you get your first pick wrong, just try another! It's never going to be a case of the averages not fitting! Edited March 5, 2023 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkins said on Thursday night on radio Suffolk he should be on a bike this week in Aussie before he’s over and then has plenty of practice in Poland before season plus they’ve got 2 or 3 planned practise days at Foxhall before the first meeting 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
