The previous stock car promoter was not the best when it came to spending money or relations with others, but he sold out a few years back so things will hopefully be different this time around. Track issues work both ways when stock cars and speedway share a venue. The start line gets dug out by speedway bikes and creates a noticeable dip on the home straight. The home straight at Northampton is like a rollercoaster now compared to previous years. Kings Lynn is the only track I can think of where it doesn't seem to be an issue.

Not sure where Diamonds85 took that wording from the SCB reg states  in the Championship League a British rider not having ridden in a Professional League in the previous season(s) may apply for an 8% reduction on their previous Championship average 104N.B this regulation will be reviewed by the SCB at the end of the 2026 season So no mention of this being a reduction for each year merely an 8% reduction if a year has been missed  NDL isn’t classed as a professional league so the rule if still in place in 2027 would apply 

This season went so well for them, so why not go with virtually the same team again, after all?

James Shane's was with Monarchs Academy in 2026.  No reduction there?

Say it's a 38.00 Limit for 6 Riders.   Team 1 1. J. Doyle 8.40 2. 5.00 Newcomer 3. D. King 7.17 4. T. Brennan 5.76 5. M. Fricke 8.27 or E. Sayfutdinov 8.21 6. W. Cairns 3.00 (25% Discount) 7. Rising Star = 37.60 or 37.54   Team 2 1. J. Doyle 8.40 2. A. Ellis 5.98 3. D. King 7.17 4. T. Brennan 5.76 5. 7.50 Newcomer 6. W. Cairns 3.00 (25% Discount) 7. Rising Star = 37.81

Max Fricke is the ideal No.5 imo, Think he'll return to Leicester though.
