If they are changing from speedway to road racing at least they won't have to bother with a planning application for change of use.

So can anyone out there help me out? I'm a bit confused by a couple of recent incidents, both involve two riders racing lines converging onto the same bit of track. 

The first was Tobias' exclusion against Redcar KO cup, Ace Pijper on a fast wide line has Tobias sweep in front of him on a slower inside line, Ace could see what was happening but held his course and rode into the back of Tobias, and falls as a result. Referee decision Ts exclusion. 

The second is Kye Howarth overtake of Zac Cook, Zac on the outside has Howarth comes clattering into the side of Zac who slowed as he struggled to avoid coming off. Howarth goes on to win no problem. 

So would Zac have been better off falling off?

If Cook wanted to end his season early or fork out a lot of money for mangled bikes then he might have technically been better coming off but I'm not sure if Kyle actually did touch him so the ref might have ended up excluding Zach anyway (personally thought it was a wee bit dirty from Kyle and wouldn't have argued if he did get excluded in this scenario)

For the Ace-Tobius one it just depends on the ref, most fans on here seemed to have to think Ace should have went and I'm sure a few refs would agree. I was 50/50 on first watch of the incident and every replay shown made me change my mind so it can just be down to luck, Tobi was the rider on the outside at Poole and he still got excluded for example even though Kyle moved onto his line a bit.
