  1. Ryan Looked great today at scunny miles in front of everybody his gating. Was perfect and don't think he lost a race or anybody got near to him
  2. Will they have a pool of riders or be declared in 2 team as sure the rules say you can't be declared in both teams
  3. Do stoke not ride on the same night Saturday
  4. That's around 50 meetings it would depend what a major service costs and what parts are needed I seen the same post and these questions were asked,I take it that it would need a total rebuild of all the parts inside to survive another 1000 as I don't think. They would use the same piston and rod ect it could end up being expensive will wait and see if Trevor hedge replies
  5. Great lad pretty sure he will do well once he gets a few race laps in
  6. Ryan rode for buxton and has came on well this year only problem was he never got enough rides they were out every cup competition first round so only got a ride every 2/3 even 4 weeks unlike Luke who was riding most weeks with cradley give him plenty bike/race time he will do well
  7. Think he rode for Eastbourne in the NL this year
  8. Would Blacklock Davy and sedgman fit in
  9. Said he would only ride if he had 2 teams to make it worth his while financially
  10. Ryan Blacklock just posted on FB he IS happy getting teams so will be either Berwick or Edinburgh
  11. Think Mitch might be the fall guy hope not thou if he is classed as a 3 pointer and not a 2 he was beginning to look like the rider we know he can be
  12. Dan bewley mussed nearly all home matches and a few away ones the difference with dan was he came from nowhere and went from reserve to th leader so has a true average
  13. think most of his rides were R/R as he was usually the number 8
  14. He never got a true average because he was not declared in any 1 -7 so his scores never really counted must have ridden for every team in the league lol
  15. Strong rumors Sam masters might be going elite with Somerset think his contract is owned by them so they wil have first shout on his services will they be riding Friday also ??
  16. Nikes equipment was not really the best this year apart from his engines it was pretty much last years rollers and were a bit past there best same as his mechanic!!!! he only really got it sorted after his injury and he seemed to pick up after that but next year he will be bringing 2 complete new bikes and hopefully a mechanic that will look after his equipment
  17. Don't think they could afford Mitch davey
  18. Most of The new reserves in every team will struggle apart from a few this year with a good few tracks having a bit of grip/dirt on them as in the NL all the tracks are very slick and with Danny having already got a years experience pretty sure he will score more well this year
  19. Jack smith joins Glasgow as number 7 and also as a full asset
  20. Riders tinkering with there engine will always happen no matter what type of engines they use and it's not the fastest engine that is the best in fact if it's too fast the rider will go backwards it's the rider that makes the decisions so that he can get the setup right on the day for that particular shape /size condition of track with changing everything from a tooth in the rear sprocket to the length of the bike ,clutch plates springs ,ignition, jet size tyre pressure get that right and your half way there to winning that's why most riders keep a note of what works best so most riders will have the basic set done up in their workshop before they get to the track then change it as the track. Changes durning the meeting , most riders will have a couple engines probably more than a couple each if they can afford it some work better on certain types of track and the tinkering on the day is not normally to get it to go faster it's to get the power on the ground and get the setup right I have not heard many rider this year complain about costs if riders were to turn up and pick one engine from 14 pretty sure they would all chuck it after all it's the riders that pay the tuners to maintain them not the promotion Coming from a motocross background speedway is a lot cheaper for sure Speaking tonight at the Glasgow tigers fans night was Simon stead and he was taking about Gerhard engines and costs and said a good few elite and pl riders have tried them and don't like them And until the top GP riders use them they won't take off
  21. I f it's our #7 Would be a long way to come from oz just for a practice day lol
  22. they won't need to worry they old GM,s that everybody used to use will be so cheap riders will be giving them away
