I didn’t blame it, it’s just a factor. You could see certain senior riders speaking with the track men after heat 1 and 2 , there not the greatest track men ( four of them, and one has been around northern tracks for years ) but they do what they can and I think Redcar would be buggered without them. Strange that the ‘Top Man’ never goes out on the tractor . I agree, they are inconsistent, that’s why I wrote it 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make of that what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same in every league ,not many riders in uk speedway consistent every week on different tracks, most inconsistent sport I have ever followed,especially when home tracks are changed so much not even home riders are comfortable without risking their pills,why risk the biscuit on peanuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current ‘track man’ is an inexperienced volunteer, who only falls outwith them occasionally. He has 2 ‘assistants’ and a ‘mentor’ , but he’s better than nothing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking into account Jenkins and his replacement Lamberts scoring this season Redcar have been riding a man down all season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
