Oops!. Of course he can. DOH. Engaging fingers before thinking!
-
That is true BUT NOT what I said!
-
This is my take as how I see the last 2 signings unfolding. If your "temporary" reserve scores a few & goes to a possible 2.3 & Poole increase their team average then how will you fit Cairns in? I think Starke is your temporary signing due to the fact he has a low average but rides WR well & will be expected to score about 5 points knowing he will be paid accordingly for doing his job & allowing Cairns to come in at the end of June.
-
As was said last year, the naming of the joint team thread is awful & just shows your dissent towards Scunthorpe. A more appropriate topic name would be Scunfield.
-
I think rolling averages still apply once you have ridden 1 or more meetings on or before the 23rd of the month. New or re-assessed riders get new averages after 6 meetings( changed in '24 to take in group BSN meetings)
-
Why have I mentioned transponders? DOH!
-
Is this new regulations this year across all 3 leagues or just tied to National League as I have not seen it anywhere else? I think there are 5 or 6 silencers to choose from in the 24 reg's & going by performance of the transponders used this last year, they were of a cheaper option & not as good as used abroad.

What happened to the junior meetings that were supposed to take place after the Premiership meetings? I did not hear much going on!
-
Because riders are not based in a north/south divide but travel the length & breadth of the country to get rides.
-
How do you think Lawson will get on with his average being his highest for a few years? He is normally a team man & will let his partner take the higher points but for some reason he is now settled with a 9+ point average which will limit his guest appearances.

Mablethorpe Sand Racing 2024 / 2025
IronScorpion replied to Youhave2minutes's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
From memory, I think ex Scorpion Scott Anderson raced there on a speedway bike but it is for ALL bikes & I mean ALL. I once saw a Laverda Jota raced there. It was that quick at acceleration to the straights it nearly always went wide in the corners. -
More so with minimal amount of meetings. 2 possibly 3 meetings a month is not enough. imo
-
He had a good season in '23 & last year was curtailed by his illness, pneumonia, of which he had for over 2 months but still rode with it. He DID NOT let the Scorpions down!
-
If Luke rides at no2 with our top no1 then I would not expect to see an improvement in average but track skills, yes. I would, also, think that he & the 2 reserves will fluctuate between the 3 riding positions throughout the season.
