He was a pretty poor rider, rode for Eastbourne in the top league in his teenage years and scored 1 point from something like 14 meetings.
Sorry just checked, 1 from 15 rides in 7 meetings.
Fantastic opportunity for Vinnie, he's not had the meetings he needs this season and although it's a shame he's not riding for the Eagles at Birmingham tomorrow, that what the NDL is about.
Teams: (in alphabetical order)

If you want to go and see a speedway meeting again in its purest form, come and watch a meeting with the Kent Eagles at Iwade. If you do, message me on here and I will get you 2 free tickets, you never know, it may rekindle your love for the sport once more.
exactly that, we can strip the cost of racing back to the basics but then riders will start spending again to get an advantige to get ahead. Then the circle starts again, its the nature of motorsport and speedway can't afford it currently.
Agree, but the riders need more and more money to be able to compete, its a no win situation, we can't just change the sport back to the times when you can run an upright and be competitive on it.
