  1. Wait till I tell my daddy, he's much bigger than anyone else's.
  2. That's not how Buster likes his tracks though. He always prepares them with even amounts of dirt inside and out with regular grading, this killing the racing lines available to only one on the inside = no passing available
  3. Hopefully no bricks on the track this time too for first meeting back. Good luck to Nicklas
  4. My 7 and they all fit within the averages 1. Lindt Lindor Milk Truffles 2. Lion 3. Yorkie Duo 4. Crunchy 5. Lindt Lindor White Truffles 6. Galaxy (100g or larger only) 7. Twirl An excellent top 2 imo with a competitive middle against many other. Very strong top reserve with a good back up at No7. Bit disappointed to leave Maltesers out but if any of that team gets busted up, may be a space will appear for my old mate Maltesers later in the year.
  5. It's not the flat you're really asking about now is it
  6. Nutella on Crumpets is the best ever
  7. Where has this Jorgensen sacked come from? For me, it'll be a move that doesn't make sense. It suggests that they're looking to add the points difference in the middle order where we should be looking to replace Simon. Seriously need a back-up for Kerr when he has an off night. Lambert - Cook - Riss should be a solid enough top three with Jorgensen - Palm Toft as decent back up. Reserve should where the improvement has to come from, letting Jorgensen go would be a much of a muchness move.
  8. I wasn't saying the racing has always been the same, merely that the track base has always been the same. Only over time the top surface has changed for the worse.
  9. The track is naturally clay based. What makes it more grippy now is that Buster buys that cheap crap stuff that is also mixed with clay. Thus when watered it turns to silt with a mix of fine stones to break the silt down.
  10. King's Lynn has never been different from day dot, the track sits on a natural clay base. That cannot be changed. For me, King's Lynn would be better off preparing the track as they did when they were running the National League team. They'd probably benefit too from not ripping the start gate up and being consistent all the way around. How the track is rider's need 2 gearings per heat, one for getting out the grippy starts and another to maintain the higher speeds needed for the rest of the track. Gating has become far to important with the ripped up starts, rider's set up for that. Miss it and you can't get the speed to chase down.
  11. Cook's getting his average down and is almost a shoe in for Belle Vue 2020. They've missed him greatly
  12. All 3 posts absolutely correct. King's Lynn as a Speedway track is still there but it most certainly isn't a Speedway racers track at all. Only big mistakes contributed to any passing. Awful meeting and certainly wouldn't encourage any stay-aways to return. Adrian Flux Arena is all about the gating, it's very very ordinary and lacks any value for money in entertainment.
  13. There may be sponsorship attachments to a certain amount of meetings on TV for King's Lynn. No meetings shown, no financial income?
  14. I take it when you knock into someone you don't apologise and tell them to watch where they're going. That's a very rude individual that does that
  15. No crystal ball required. The Belle Vue meeting will be far superior to anything served at King's Lynn regardless of opposition. The only way to make King's Lynn home matches remotely exciting is a few crashes, punch-ups and ranting and raving during interviews. As for racing it's certain FTG racing
  16. Thing is, every year we've come flying out the traps we've fell apart when it really mattered. Maybe we're attempting the opposite, try and scrape 4th and go from there.
  17. Should be his Championship average. Who did he replace?
  18. I knew you wore high heels, certainly won't discriminate, each to their own and all that
  19. Is it possible Ayers is the full time replacement for Lambert?
  20. Anyway, back to the topic of this thread please. Are ZagarRacing and ReadingRacer the same person
  21. Yes & no, if Doyle was injured your team would look like this 1. Batchelor 7.76 2. Wajiknecht 4.08 3. Ellis 6.76 4. Jensen 4.51 5. Musielak 6.41 6. Perks 3.00 7. Guest 3.00 The team just gets moved around and any guests come in at reserve. I don't think it's right that straight swap guests should be used, I'm a firm believer that a result should be determined by the teams own rider's rather than a track specialist guest that actually performs better than the replaced rider. It gives the opportunity for other riders in the team to step up. Also gives another opportunity to an up and coming rider to make an impression. Especially at home that team should have enough to not get beaten if they ride to their potential.
  22. Guests are a necessary evil. I've always said though that guest riders for Premiership should always be Championship riders with an average of 4.50 or less. Then that rider takes the No7 position and the others move up a position. R/R should only be available after a 3rd rider in the team is missing.
  23. Although Proctor and Jorgensen haven't hit the road running, wouldn't it be a risk to bin fit rider's for an injured rider?!? Both can only get better and there was an improvement in both at home, points wise. Looking at the figures, it looks like we'll see June out and depending on form Riss could come back in for Kerr and be under 42.50 from July 1st.
  24. Lambert has shown in 2 GP's he's better equipped for the series than Harris had over his whole GP career
