Went to Rye today for the Quad racing, the track looked in quite good condition considering all the rain we have had this winter. There was some demonstration races involving Edward Kennett,Steve Boxall, Ben Morley, Dan Blake and Luke Bowen. Ed & Steve looked quick, Luke diid a few laps and didn't appear any more (had an engine problem). If they carry on how the were today and remain injury free, could be a good season.

Lets hope that Klindt is brought in as a temp replacement

Can't help but think the club will be a mid to low end team unless we have a more switched on promoter.

What ever happened to Jerran Hart?

Shadders I don't want the club to fail, I have been going to Rye since it started, i'm now 50. 2005 & 2007 were fantastic, but times have changed and as someone has said on here that the club blame injuries but in this sport every team has the same problem, it's how it's dealt with that makes the difference.

Even tough I have been a Len fan for many years, I am beginning to think it's time for a new face at the helm at Rye. I am finding it hard to waste my hard earn't money each week on watching the teams being put together each year, and the track preperation/conditioton seems a lot to be desired. Sorry Len this is one supporter that will not be back any time soon.

What some people may not know is that Adam had never sat on a speedway bike until he was 12, which is quite a late age to start. So in the short time he has been riding, I think he has done a great job. Keep it going Adam.

What planet are you on? these boys get paid next to nothing for riding in the national league, they and their parents work long hours to get them racing each week, having agreed to sponsor Adam this season and speaking to his parents at length the pay for travel and points barely covers the costs involved. If you are going to come on here and have your say, please make sure there is some sort of knowledge behind the comments.

When all is said and done it's good to have him back, if only for a short while??

Does anyone remember this ??????

Don't knock Adam to soon, give him a season to see how he get's on. This is a big step for him and I am sure he will do well. Instead of putting down young riders in this country why not try talking to them and get to understand what these boys go through to do something they enjoy. Most of them read what is put on here and it does have an effect on them.

Is it any wonder why speedway is in decline, how can a rider go through the card and be unbeaten in five rides and still end up third. only speedway could throw this up.

Hi Does anyone know what Tommy Allen is doing now?

Adam is a good lad and should do well this season, he and more experienced riders have had trouble with the 3rd bend at Rye, but has worked hard to improve. He has some decent equipment being prepared for the coming season, but as most young lads in the sport needs sponsors. If anyone would like to help, Adam can be contacted through Facebook or Neil Day at Kent.

Interesting to see Robert Mear lastnight, Craig said something about having only 28 Elite meetings, he was getting a bit of track time! Not sure if he was checking out something on his bike.

I think your spot on, don't think he will be riding for the Kings this year.

Well done to all the boys tonight, great result.

Jack Kingston and Adam Kirby were at Rye House today, a mixed afternoon for them both. Adam had a win, a mechanical problem and a fall. Jack had a win and a crash from which he sustained an ankle injury (not sure is its serious). Both looked good though.

Get well soon to both Jason and Simon

You know that for a fact do you Jasons jacket did not inflate.

It's good to be optimistic! but im going to stick my neck out and go for a Rye home win by 10. Apart from Barker and Lanham cant see to many big point scorers.

Hi Nikko When are we going to find out who the last two riders will be?

I think it will be a close run meeting with Ipswich ending slightly ahead All I hope is that everyone comes through this unscathed and we don't have a repeat of last years meeting.

Has Marc Owen got a team place with anyone this year?

Great news that Steve Boxall has signed for the Kings, dont know if Steve reads whats put on here? I just hope he has a good season on some decent machinery and proves all his doubters wrong. Having seen him come through the ranks at Rye, I cant help but feel he has never reached his considerable potential and maybe this is a chance to reserect his carear. Len obviously has faith in him, afterall this is his third chance under his promotions. Good luck Steve.
