I think he could take a really big leap this year if he is able to keep that kind of edge to his racing. When the first team is completed it's impossible to compare to anything but last year's teams (Redcar looked weaker) but as more clubs near completion, Redcar look stronger, definite play-off contenders imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 84 Posted January 23 Reading in the Speedway Star that Redcar have/are hiring a track for the team to practice/team bond soon. My question is why hire a track when you have your own to practice on? Surely time would be better spent learning your home track than a different one. Begs the question of whether we a track curator yet ? Anyone know anything ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biffa 84 Posted January 24 So it will be Scunthorpe or Workington then. Which begs the question why pay anyone when you have your own track to practice on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for your childish comment , no rider likes anyone getting in their way, team mate or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing wrong with practicing on a different track, especially one with less dirt on than Redcars. Many teams hire other tracks to have a day out on, for all sorts of reasons . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
