Steve Lawson is grey enough and every time someone mentions stock cars you can see another one turn grey in front of your eyes... So at present I can say with confidence there won't be stocks on the current track... However you should never say never but in this case as long as Steve remains track curator it won't be happening on his watch... Regards THJ 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nearly right. Plymouth out Mildenhall to confirm or not Bit surprised about Armadale, hopefully they and Mildenhall find solutions 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,027 Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) My first attempt at a team Workington Kyle Bickley 9.58 Lee Complin 7.27 Luke Crang 7.23 Ace Pijper 6.90 George Rothery 4.92 Gregor Miller 3.07 Kyran Lyden 3.00 Total 41.97 Edited November 29, 2022 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,159 Posted November 29, 2022 Complin has had his day nothing to gain by giving him a team place.,and no connection to west Cumbria, where as if Adam roynan was to sign, yes I know he has been around a bit, but has got Workington connections, another I would like to see is Archie Freeman and it may encourage some diamonds fans to have a run over on a Saturday afternoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
