BIKEPIG

Redcar will be running practice days but are still finshing alterations to the track and fence so will probably not be running till mid to late March. This year the track will be offering a selection of Hire bikes, both 125cc and full 500cc bikes for those that don't have their own machines.Riding kit will also be supplied.

interested in a throttle, a cut out, rear wheel spindle and 17 gm engine sprocket and possibly the Dellorto. Would you PM me please?

Redcar will be running sessions ,with bikes available for hire, as soon as the track work has been completed.New fence is near completion and then the track will need relaying so it will be a few weeks yet, possibly mid March before we are able to start.

Contact ADAM KIRBY ( via FACEBOOK or he sells engine stands of all types on e-bay) Adam makes the turntable type engine stands.

Done..... Thank you.

Anybody got a speedway gearing chart I could purchase a copy of please? Trying to work out the equivilant of engine 17, countershaft 16, rear sprocket 60. Could do with a chart to work out all the variations. Here's hoping.....

Three years ago Berwick, Edinbrugh, Halifax and Redcar put together the NORTHERN JUNIOR LEAGUE with the intention of giving meaningful second half racing to young riders who needed a step upto national league racing! It had a good set of rules set out, agreed upon and followed by the clubs involved! These rules took into acount the needs and resources of the clubs, the ideal system would be 4 man teams and all novice riders but as there has been a lack of any type of competion in the north for nearly a decade there simply wasnt the riders required to fill teams so it was decided to have 3 man teams and the only exclusion was anyone named in a national league team or higher, this allowed some experienced riders who had been retired to help what youngsters that were around by filling out the teams until enough younger riders could be encouraged into the sport! This worked well for all involved and some young riders have taken a step up while others are still competing at the same level filling the teams up as more potential comes through! At the time it was the only such league to be running and off the back of it the year after the midlands league was set up using there own rules that suited there needs! So far everyone was happy, in a year its gone from nothing to 2 separate leagues running independant from each other. By the end of 2011 season the northern league was considered a success again and the midlands just as much so! Great news at the start of 2012 then when the anglian league is announced, so us up north feel pretty proud that something we started only 3 years ago has snowballed to this, even more racing for the british novices, they decide to run with the same rules as the midlands as it suits there needs. At the start of the season the only changes to our rules (from the BSPA) was that we had to start using the new silencers which we were exempt from last season plus the use of the new rear mudguards. Now fast forward 2 months into the season as the NJL league is just about to kick off full of optimisom as Workington also join the league, the clubs that race NJL teams all recieve an email from BSPA saying not to allow any NJL racing to go ahead as they have decided after a managment committie meeting that all junior league racing in this country must follow the same rules and we must agree to run to the rules set for other leagues? Lets forget for now the incompetance of the BSPA in their handling of this and look at the implications, it not only means we need more riders to fill an extra team place but also that we would lose some of the expierinced riders as they dont fit the criteria of the new rules, again lets put aside the £100's the expierenced riders have wasted on licenses (ironically from the BSPA) new silencers and mudguards to help the young riders have a league to race in and look at the real issue, which is we'll be back to NO LEAGUE racing for northern youth! We ( the NJL) were the origanal in this revival, now it seems like someone in the BSPA has decided we're not capable of running an already successfull system and without discusion has said we dont care what you think, do it our way! No wonder british speedways in the state it is, we cant even get grass routes racing without politics spoiling it! No wonder e-bay now has so many youngsters selling speedway bikes!

No session this week due to the 'big boys' being away at Leicester. I will post on hear as soon as I know any more dates from Mr.Havelock.
