Skidder1 7,637 Posted December 4, 2022 Is Shanesy still living in Dorchester? If so , he's going to be away a fair bit from his young family just to get to home meetings!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted December 4, 2022 Shane's best meetings at PB were only when a deep dirt line built round the fence and he could exploit it. Few could do better than him. If Redcar can give him similar option and to ride when he'll get later heats eg not 2 and 4 if reserve, and if second string ride him at 4 at home, then they'll offer him best chance of success. The track may suit his style with that scenario. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted December 4, 2022 All looks well on paper but once Mulford has a couple of 3 ride nights the mood in camp will change. Im with the Shanes weak link camp and once he drops to reserve its a poor trapping 6&7. That said if all riders click this team will dish out some hammerings both home and away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly doubtful that Mulford will stay as a reserve after the first set of averages with him being on a 2 start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fina 78 Posted December 4, 2022 I've just seen on his Instagram that James Shanes signing is subject to him being fully recovered from injury, so what happens if he is not fit? Are Redcar then able to sign another rider, can they bring in guests, or is it left to others in the team to take on extra heats to cover? I have not got a clue what the rules are is a signing is not fit right from the start of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe best option available within points allowance given the others they wanted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, he COULD make a start in the first meeting, slide gently off and they could have a facility for the rest of the year! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given his average ,don’t think that would be seen as a viable option. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
