I see your and others point regarding Playoffs,but say the Final happened to be Berwick vPoole you have too wonder how many neutrals would turn up at each venue to swell the crowd.
Personally I can understand riders sussing out the Track in Ht1 especially if they miss the gate.Nobody rides the outside line at most tracks in the early Heats as the grip is usually on the inside anyway.
Sussing out the track no doubt.Some riders don’t like being in Ht 1.Rules state Top of averages has to ride at No1.,don’t know why though,does it really make any difference.
All this speculation regarding averages,why is it taking so long to confirm them.The season finished weeks ago.Somebody must know how they are going to be calculated.
I really don’t see why they have to keep lowering the points limit.Riders are watching their averages most seasons now.It means lesser riders can increase their earnings,being more sought after.
