X 1.5

The Green Sheets are rolling averages, but a snapshot as at the 23rd of each month. The meeting-by-meeting averages on the BSPA website are an indication of current form only.

That’s not the case. The official Green Sheet averages are the ones that dictate facilities - the averages are clearly marked: PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL GREEN SHEET AVERAGES. THE OFFICIAL AVERAGES CAN BE FOUND VIA THE TEAM DECLARATIONS AND GREEN SHEET AVERAGES LINKS FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEAGUES. THESE FIGURES SHOULD BE REGARDED AS REFERENCE ONLY.

Art 18.10 needs to be read in conjunction with Art 18.8. 18.8 dictates when a guest may be used, 18.10 gives the rules for using a guest. It is possible (albeit in a very unusual combination of events) for a PL team to use seven guests!

RR is the only available facility for no 4 in the averages

Current green sheets are valid until 31st May, with a revised issue due effective 1st June. It appears Kevin may go up to third in the averages from 1st June.

Danny King was ruled out under the 8-day rule. With 4 and 5 in the averages missing the facility is one Guest, one RR, and as only Ipswich are not riding the choice was somewhat limited.

It’s a round of the Danish Championship that’s been rearranged (akin to our British Finals), not a league match.

There's a lot happened since that evening sadly..... Kev is full of beans and enjoying his change of scenery.

Hans Andersen listed to ride for Panthers, Danny King and Dimitri Berge guest for Poole.

With just four Clubs in one group, seems quite sensible to me.

Bradley Wilson Dean would come in on his converted PL average of 7.91 effective 1st May.

It's not, so they can!

Practice (now qualifying) for GPs has not been compulsory for some years. Woffinden, Zmarzlik and Fricke were missing this evening, and were 'randomly'* allocated the final three start positions this evening. * The rider number was drawn, then allocated to the smallest available start number.

As I understood the rules, any lap started within the one minute time allowance could be completed, however the recording appears to be limited to four laps?

And to have more points available for the other five riders at the beginning of the season......

http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/news.php?extend.2804 8th May meeting, Birmingham v Berwick, was rained off

That’s not the case. Neither Peterborough nor Mildenhall were ‘killed’ by Mick, and Coventry only ended under his ownership following the loss of Brandon which led to the unsuccessful season at Leicester.

I haven’t studied the Regulations closely this season (no need!) but IIRC the fine for crossing the infield was in substitution for the exclusions that caused so much adverse comment. Historically a referee fine was deducted from the riders wages, but when exchange money was done away with they became fines from the SCB akin to a parking ticket, and were loosely based on a number of points scored and the assumed pay rate for the rider and league.

In my copy it’s the very next section after the one you quote! (The final paragraph on Page 38)

Certain punishments are now imposed in monetary terms under the SCB Rule Book, see Art 15.3 and Appendix A.

Every track now has a .com domain.

Send your comments to the promotion!

If it was the rain-off programme from last Thursday that’s hardly old........

It may well do, but I’m sure the expectation is that having a strong No 1 will inspire improved performances through the team.
