scaramanga

if he has a average season can see him pushing 10pt average

too much focus on heat leaders teams are more successful with strong reserves and 2nd strings that improve rather than strong heat leader who mins every race but his partner only picks up points if others dont finish race

sometimes riders need to wait for there parent club to say they are not returning before they can say where they are going do agree its draging on a little since sam was announced

It was also said ace signed for comets on less money that he had been offered from other teams Sometimes riders can earn more buy taking a lower offer as the can score higher at a certain track or gain more local sponsorship and of coarse travel is a big issue its not all about signing fee or x per point

Aslong as racing is good that should be enough People who only go to watch a winning team are not fans of the sport

wasnt aware of any riders living in workington that could fill a no.1 birth

not sure how much truth in it heard craig wanting too much to ride at workington craig is still a good rider but very unpredictable had the ability to go a lot further than he has done if a team signs him its a gamble not sure if its possible but if it is needs to be something in contract that money is held back if he goes awol

and that is bickleys problem was too good for the oposition and had equipment far better when he was a junior he never had the chance to learn to race the change was too big for him to adjust too im sure kyle with the right backing did have it to be good but think he was a superstar before he started at higher level (no fault of his own )

personaly i think 3pm dust bowl meetings @£20 will turn a few away i feel spedway is best under floodlights but others do prefer afternoon meetings

think Tero has had his day now too up and down and not know for looking after his equipment very well good rider on his day but they are getting less often

needs flood lights and switch to later start time its the only way they will keep the dust down enough to allow spectators to watch the racing

id love to see a fully on song rasmus or kilderman round north side

not so sure about that there has been plenty riders over the years who have the signs of drug users or heavy drinkers and never been caught

no real point trying to build team untill regs are finalised but i see tom brennan not wanted at glasgow could be good round northside also sam gotta be of interest the lad never gives up and rides his heart out and luke harrison all depends on cost and building a team that works

not followed the forum regularly since comets closed last time but remember you and always found your posts fairly unbiassed and you come across well as a speedway fan who knows the crack not just post towards your own track

crowds will always drop from the inital buzz from opening nights id say tyhe dust has been a big part of some dropping away hopefully if the flood lights rumours are correct then switiching to night time meets will improve the racing and crowds

bailey wins with 15 pt max and exciting and worrying news that comets will be in championship in 2024

its not just riders championships though how many over the years have declined riding in british championship

dont knock the line up sp many have said they wouldnt go to watch nationla league riders but weve seen some much better racing at new track than many others ive been to over all leagues

your right in a few things there few years back you couldnt ride in 3 leagues but use conor baily as example young lad trying hard started the season only workington gave him a place now winning heats for redcar and belle vue is this a example of the ndl doing its job or the other leagues over looking a rider that wants to race whatever level

this is a bspa event though so could be anything

whats ticket prices for this think a adult is £15 but what about kids and family tickets might have both grandkids tomorrow personally id love it to poor down today and then stop to hopefully crate a track like last week that was awesome

poor crowd and the ones who stayed away missed a good meeting track was great i agree with the post above in all counts senna summers looks very tidy im sure hes allready got a start next year aslong as the structure stays as it is all riders today were neat and tidy even the ndl riders

thank you hopefully we will get some racing

starting to brighten up nicely
