100% commitment to 500c now all 250 stuff done and dusted it's been a fantastic adventure

Staying 250 worked for us with the gradual transition to 500 before making the jump to NDL biggest problem is once you turn a wheel in 4th meeting you gain an average hence why we only did 2. Other than Ashton the only rider currently riding I believe who will be 15 next is Sonny Springer and I'm pretty sure his birthday is after the end of the season. After that there's William Cairns and Jamie Etherington and a few who are at leat 3 years off.

From what I understand he's staying 250 next year with the intention of transition as the year goes on . late birthdays always make it a difficult decision for parents as whether to move up and get an average or wait till the following year. If he commits to international 250cc as well could be September before he is available.

Ashton vale turns 15 late June next year

Can't see it been 2 home 2 away due to only 3 standalone teams personally wouldn't mind seeing 1 home 1 away , knockout cup and potentially a mini tournament with the 3 standalone clubs plus the IOW giving about 15 home and away meetings. The junior riders need to be busy to progress riding potentially 3 times in a week then not again for a month don't help them

We have already announced Kennedy and Thompson so I'm hoping it's number 3

Personally would rather see the great racing that scunthorpe and Redcar produces than rubbish racing and massive home wins. Nobody really cares who wins the league so would rather be entertained at the meetings I attend

Pretty poor effort by some not all don't tar all clubs with same brush.

No because most of the idiots who do critical posts on here don't attend anymore just hark on about the old days when everything was so much better . Upright engines ,13 heats ,wooden fences ,open face helmets with monkey masks , Castrol r, open silencers,

Because they know all the usual idiots will be waiting for some kind of statement to criticise so they gave them one

A returning kings Lynn would be fantastic for the national league couple of local lads there as well

That's because it is 40

Brilliant

Personally would of thought Auty was nailed on with a low average for his potential to score big points at home and the occasional good meeting away

Neil does the same rule apply to an unattached 3 pointer who isn't classed as a guest if so we all missed a trick

Unfortunately it's the way it is I'm not letting my rider get one either

Not because he didn't have an average but because he doesn't want one before next season

Tero is very good when he wants to be which is mainly at home if he turns up . Away he's dire and not worth the points used on his average personally wouldn't waste them on him and as we know it's a numbers game

Let's hope it's not tero misses to many meetings for no reason

How about no thanks

Thanks for that he loves the place . we are trying hard to guide him in the right direction

Some did some didn't as has been stated

He wasn't stopped from riding at all he has been competing on the 250cc all summer in Europe and doing mdsl and Pjl on the 500. Only decision made was not to allow him to ride at NDL level until the European stuff was out of the way. He had one none riding appearance at no8 for Bellevue and turned down several other offers of guest or no8 bookings due to being to close to his other commitments. Also please remember he and a couple of others are replacing injured riders not taking someone else's spot.

As a family we chose not to let Luke get an average and certainly wouldn't of been swayed by any club dictating about the volume of meetings he would or wouldn't compete in . Our decisions are based on his development

Think personally that is a very good level of rider for a junior competition
