Should have given him a "Special Burger"....

Best of luck to Paul Hunsdon and Northampton Speedway this evening. Hope you get a great crowd and racing.

Personally I would say they are prob stronger with Howarth than they would have been with an ever declining Iversen 

Interestingly ... SCB Reg 010.2.3 says: "d)  any rider who has been or is eligible to compete in the NDL and NDT, holds a British passport and has not represented another FMN, other than the ACU will receive 2.5% reduction on their Premiership/Championship MA for Team Building" So ... if Howarth's 5.00 is only for team building ... his actual Green Sheet of 5.13 would be too high, because the 25% reduction of Iversen's average gives 5.03 ...

As per SCB Reg 011.4C:  "G with an MA of 25% lower than the absent rider, in accordance with the appropriate minimum MA for that league." G = Guest MA = Match Average  (Popularly known as Green Sheet average, because they used to be printed on green paper. Also known as the Rolling Average, because it's based on the last 20 League matches (home or away)). SCB Regulations are downloadable here: https://www.scbgb.co.uk/download.php?view.12915  There are a lot of pages, but you'll find Regulations 10, 11, and 12 cover most of the team building and racing Regulations. 13 is for Development (used to be called Junior) Racing, 14 for Individual meetings, and 15 for other events. Sometimes the SCB publishes minor amendments, e.g. for things they've forgotten to update 😉    

It's Flat Track not Long Track.
