Sings4Speedway Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Im not doing leaps of joy over either option if im brutally honest. Best of 3 races prior to the meeting would be a last man standing event with predictable results; Race 1 Cousins 1st Shepard Fell Race 2 Shepard 1st (awarded) Cousins (major fall bike wrecked) Race 3 Cousins NS (no bike) Shepard EX 2 mins (mechanical gremlins) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Amusing post sing4kings and not beyond the realms of possibility..So many riders starting out on simular ability this season it will be interesting to see which ones make rapid progress,,we have to hope it may be one or two of our Kings ?... I too am sceptical.. Edited January 20, 2015 by waco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel1 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Cousins reguarly beat Shepherd in second half races ,, on what i saw i would much prefer Cousins... Shepherd may have had one or two outings, but that does not make him the better rider,,, also Shepherd failed to appear for several rides probably down to poor equiptment . Let them decide it on track in a best of 3 races prior to the first meeting That is what I believe will happen on press and practice day, behind closed doors but one will get the number 7 jacket and the other will have to prove he is the better racer/rider. Dan Blake/Luke Harris days of last year then Danny and Jason burst onto the scene! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbird Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Dan Blake/Luke Harris days of last year then Danny and Jason burst onto the scene!Danny yes - but at no stage did Garrad ever show he was better than Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Sorry I should be more positive about the 6,7 & 8. Its a lower standard all round this year so points and improvement is there to be had and lets not forget that Danny didn't exactly start last season in glory. I feel the best reserves this year will be those who are consistent and ultimately stay on board the bike. Keep steady and pick up a point from the 3 main rides and potentially a little more from the reserves race and that's their job done. Not the best bottom two in the league but also not the worst. With a strong top 4/5 and a little luck the Kings should be right up the table. Edited January 21, 2015 by Sings4Kings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel1 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Falcon Hammer, hoping not, nothing confirmed either way other than it should be taking place the week before the official first meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel1 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Be interesting to see James Shanes at Iwade. He has to be the best signing and surely will, when settled, keep Ben on his toes for top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes riding for Kent Kings who ride their home meetings at the Central Park Greyhound stadium in Sittingbourne! James Shanes is one ell of a talent, very quick on the grass!

teaboy279 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah James shanes one of the first confirmed riders at Iwade's season opener on March the first.

Michael Ceglio Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think the eagles could pull off a win at arlington and at Central Park with the expirence from mason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I think the eagles could pull off a win at arlington and at Central Park with the expirence from mason Be very surprised to see the Eagles trouble the Kings at Central Park. Reserves will be key. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Kings win at Arlington either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ceglio Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 No disrespect to Sheppard Mullins or Cousins but neither Sheppard or Cousins have scored more than gifted points in NL and mullins never really gets going in all the teams he's been in. If wood is as good as he is on the grass he will be banging on points and it's fair to say kelsey Dugard is probably the most promising 3 pointer in the league. I recall him leading Terry-Daley, Adam kirby and Benji Compton at Central Park as well as him finishing 6th in the British u19s. As well as this How many of the kent team have raced Arlington? Ben - yes Shanes - no Ayres - no Baseby - no Verge - no Sheppard -no mullins - no cousins - no. Eastbourne at kent - mason - yes Owen - yes Kelsey - yes George - no Warwick - no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikko Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Yeah James shanes one of the first confirmed riders at Iwade's season opener on March the first. Just to confirm James Shanes and Rik Mullins have been invited and accepted to join us at SITRAs launch on the 1st March. Ex King Jack Kingston has also accepted. Along with Solo riders we have British Champions on left and right hand sidecars and European 500cc sidecar champions. We hope to see alot of our friends from the Kings fan base at this FREE event.

teaboy279 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Be nice to see kent riders getting a chance to practice reguarly, and some sitra club riders get a chance to ride in junior races at central park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Kings win at Arlington either. The reserves will be key which I think goes in Eastbourne's favour. Saying that it may be a little early in the season for any of them to be dialled in? I think the Kent 1-5 will be more solid and get us through but it will be squeaky over two legs. Don't be surprised to see Woody mixing it with main body riders.......although heaven forbid him and Danny Ayres going for the same piece of track!

They are just separate meetings for points in the National Trophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
