Most people probably feel it's not an "accurate" average as it only covers half a season of racing! Trouble is he has to start this season off form to get it down,then where would that put Birmingham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know that if you get excluded for a tapes offence, then it doesn't count as an official ride ? does that mean the '0' points doesn't contribute towards his calculated average? As for the harsh exclusion? he definitely moved in the first attempted start, but I think he got a flyer in the second attempt (Ref was wrong to exclude him...) Thank you for explaining. However, I still think we would've benefited by replacing Nielsen in Heat 9? Got me on that one too as I thought if a rider started a race, it was classed as a ride, similar to a tape offence. So Speedway fan is saying that he did not officially start the race. Missing the 2 minutes is not a ride. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think what matters is if the rider is replaced, bring a reserve in for a tapes or 2 min exclusion & it doesn't count as a minimum ride! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,410 Posted April 21, 2023 Does that also apply if a race is started, 1st bend bunching, all 4 back but a rider can't & is replaced. In the rules it calls it "frustrated" rides. Never understood it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
