  1. The primary chain oiler pipe could have burst as it runs beside the basket under the cover and some dirt could easily have got in the tank when refuelling but most riders have in line filters on the fuel lines
  2. No guest until he rides one meeting and was told tonight he won't ride for 4 days dew to illness
  3. They did not have enough water because the water board had to cut the supply in the area dew to some emergency work and never gave them any notice they were putting water down most of the morning and when they went to refill the tanker again from the main they found it had been switched off and the big tank they keep on top of the hill was only enough to half fill the tanker to do the complete match so had to watch what they were doing plus the wind was drying the track as quick as the big tanker could spray it out
  4. Young tom Brennan at Eastbourne has got his dailed in
  5. Coty just been let down again was told they would be at track tonight turned up no engines tuner sorry there here will try get them to you asap if he had known he could have arranged to borrow one
  6. Pretty sure Coty will improve now he has his own engines back he had sent them both back to ash-tech in Poland the day before he got the team spot and there had been a slight delay in getting them back and has been using his third engine so hopefully he will score some points tomorrow night
  7. That is not what Ryan was told as we new we would struggle on lakeside and Eastbourne just because of the size of them but new we could have done a lot better at Kent but never got the chance but good luck to Jamie
  8. We tried but when you have to race 2 of the hardest tracks in British speedway it's always going to be hard to get it right first meeting but Ryan was looking forward to Kent where he has gone well the 2 times he had ridden there winning one reserve race first time there and coming second to Danny Ayres the second time as that's a track he likes and is used to riding that size of track up here as there is no small tracks up here good luck to Jamie
  9. Would depend on riders weight but most go between 6-8 psi as the tyre pressure will go up as the tyre gets hotter and the compound gets softer which then deteriorate track with no dirt will destroy tyres quicker
  10. It Will all depend what the tracks like scunny always has a blue groove after 4 heats so it will destroy tyres for fun and kings lynn was always the best for second hand tyres
  11. Coty has top equipment now he struggled at the individual meeting mainly because he had only got off a plane a few days earlierand only ridden a bike once ( the week before he came back from argentina) dew to letting last years injury heal ,and his new bikes seat was way to low which did not feel right for him having just built it the night before don't think there will be a loan fee as pretty sure berwick don't own him any more and he invested every single penny he earned last year into equipment for this year
  12. Arron summers was saying he only got four rides at scunny on Sunday before the tyre was destroyed
  13. I know Tom perry snapped the sprocket bolts clean off the rear hub in one of his races and had ignition problems in another changed the complete ignition system and waited till the NJL match finished to check everything was ok for tomorrow so all sorted now think he could be a key rider for us tomorrow at reserve
  14. Any time I have been to meetings which had been delayed are mainly dew to the medics/doctor arriving late as they have to sign in and until everybody has signed in and the form has been given to the referee and checked off then only can he start the meeting think every rider, pit Marshall ,machine examiner, medical staff, clerk of the course has to be in position before a rider can take to the track and the meeting to begin there is a lot more paperwork involved than you think
  15. Maybe we Will see the first GP on Eurosport
  16. Think I saw somewhere he is doing his exams this year and not have enough time to ride
  17. We're leaving the EU soon so should not be a problem
  18. Have seen A good few of them have been taken up by NL riders
  19. There is no rules on what engine you ride as long as it meets the SCB regulations no govern body can make them all ride the GTR engine It's up to the rider whether he wants to buy one or not do you honestly think they will make it compulsory for every rider to use the GTR,s just because they have done a deal with gerhard ?never in a month of Sundays will it happen
