remember leicester being there and when that happened Stewart Dickson went straight to the ref and demanded they made them grade them evenly

the transponder line at glasgow is about half a wheel length behind the start line so when the tyre crosses the line it picks up the winner

Just using his back tyre/wheel as lees was pretty scrubbed

Boxall ave is too high

Don’t think Lees ave will drop below his asset 4

A lot of riders that have been using NEB Brown clutch plates seem to be having a problem at the moment as there is none left in the country or Poland or Denmark dew to lack of manufacturing products to make them i know Lee did used them and is now struggling to get a decent set up with trying others plates only the riders that stocked up at the start of the season will have them, a few rider i know have changed to red ones and seem to struggle to get it pull the way they want too out the starts as the compound is totally different riders never really change there clutch set up as it’s hard to get it the same with different colour

he took the first one refused the second ,similar in Ben Barkers case he took the second one and then argued his case for pain killers also with Kyle Howarth who had been taken the stronger type of night nurse medication which had codeine in it as there is similar product which dose not have this in it

he took the first test and it came back i think they called it non negative but he then refused to take a second test

Danish riders problems

https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/c23_issue_17.pdf latest green sheets

pretty sure being a accessed 4 he can’t drop below that in the latest green sheet he is still a 4 Claus has put .69 on his starting ave marcin has put .94 so both have been scoring over there ave

most of riders during the track walk were talking about what would be best set up for the meeting marcin had a note of what he used there last time so he went with that but from ht1 ,you could see they were all struggling to get out the gate even chris was struggling for grip and marcin's bike was also just spinning too hard in his first race but he made a few changes after talking to a few team mates for his 2nd ride ride was a little better but lacked speed then he tried to flatten it off a bit for his 3rd but it ended up too flat and wouldn’t pull off the corner .we were going to try his other bike but never got his 4th ride but that’s speedway ,i have never seen so many tool box’s and google’s getting chucked about the pits in a meeting , the poole riders just seemed to have the perfect set up to get out the gate which you would expect riding it every week and then ride the right line so made it really hard to pass

think ben has really upped his riding since he has teamed up with his new mechanic Nathan Stoneman in both leagues but here’s hoping it’s a decent score to make it go down to last Ht at Glasgow

if it’s off tomorrow can poole change the 2nd leg on Wednesday back to league meeting so that they can get the 2nd leg of the final

bad visibility was what caused it and really they could have held off the start to see if the weather was going to ease up

should never have started from what i was told by a few riders

no it’s up to the mechanic to put it on the bike the machine examiner will inspect it in the pits along with the bike whether it’s on the bike or not it usually the last thing the mechanic does after warming the bike up as it’s pretty hard to start the bike off the back wheel with it on

it’s been minimal rain at the track and they have not been putting much water on durning the day so a few showers will do the track good

i think Sam Jensen would probably come over no probs but would need a visa which will cost a lot of money would they fund it

Ben now has Nathan Stoneman working full time for him they seem to get on really well together

transponders won’t detect if a rider moves before tapes they just give lap times and who passes the line first

nathan won’t ride again think his shoulder problem is worse than expected and is now full time mechanic for ben basso

not many 2 pointers out there i would have offered spooner first does put lasse to reserve thou

nothing against Dale having seen him ride will really struggle
