vog Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Stoke, for some reason, has 3 different TR's Overall TR: 60.5 - Ty Procter and Steve Johnstone NL Track Record: 62.2 - Richie Worrall CL Track Record: 62.0 - Andrew Tully Take your pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Steve Boxall also set a new NL track record at Rye House (in the NLRC) last year! And NB. his track record at Mildenhall is an all-time record not just an NL/CL one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Surely a track record is a track record? How is it determined that Coventry NL track record is the time from an Under 19 meeting where potentially a non-NL rider could get the time. Frankly, as the sport has a guy with a stopwatch timing things I'm amazed anyone cares about track records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always amazes me tbh, how you have virtually no interest in anything. You don't complete a programme and think everyone who does is wasting their time. Now your latest is that you don't care about tracks records because, er, there's a time keeper..? Not sure I get this, would you rather count in your head to work out the race time..?! I sometimes wonder if you actually like Speedway at all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Who's going to be the first track to use transponders on the bikes connected to a big screen. Morizes club in south west France uses them. They're just attached to the bikes with two cable ties. A guy with a stopwatch is such an unreliable and outdated way of doing things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing all SCB is really saying is that speedway should be brought up to the 21st century. Electronic transponders fitted to a rider's handlebars is a really simple and inexpensive process. And he's right that track records shouldn't be taken to seriously as a guy with a stopwatch isn't exactly accurate. Saying that, I'm not sure how King's Lynn do our times as each lap is displayed during the race not just all 4 laps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand the reason for showing separate records for National & Conference Leagues, as they are one and the same thing (i.e. 3rdtier), so IMO, the listing of Richie Worrall doesn't justify being shown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vog Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Doesn't Andrew Silver still hold the all time track record at Stoke? Yes, but we can in theory discount it because the track has changed shape and length since then. In reality, the track was made marginally shorter, and Silver rode a 59.1 if memory serves.

I don't want to discount it Vog, Andrew owns that record fair and square and probably will do for a long time to come and I hope it always stands as something riders aspire to better. In any case, if the track is shorter, the times should be faster, but are not by a mile. Certainly, I doubt Andrew's Godden (if that was what he was riding that day) was anything like as powerful as todays GM's, but that is opening another can of worms entirely.

Stokielee Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 No rider will ever get anywhere near it. Silver was a class act and he knew the fastest way to ride Loomer Rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
