a4poster Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Hi, is this score obtainable in the current league system and if so has it ever been done? A five ride maximum from a riders programmed rides and his place in the nominated heat (15pts), he also takes a a tactical ride resulting in six points (21pts) and an additional ride as rider replacement ride (3pts) making a total of twenty-four pts.

Humphrey Appleby Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 A five ride maximum from a riders programmed rides and his place in the nominated heat (15pts), he also takes a a tactical ride resulting in six points (21pts) and an additional ride as rider replacement ride (3pts) making a total of twenty-four pts. 7 ride maximums (21 points) have happened in the apst, but that would imply four programmed riders, nominated, rider replacement and tactical substitution. In the above scenario a rider is only taking six rides, right, so that's still only a possible 21 points even with double points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJ Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 As Humphrey says 21 is the max. Remember that the 'Tactical' involves one of the programmed rides these days not an extra one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Could only be achieved by a reserve to enable the 7 rides to be taken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Could only be achieved by a reserve to enable the 7 rides to be taken. That's what I thought. But - I am not sure.................................................. Such are Speedway's Regulations. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Didn't Bjarne Pedersen score a 22+1 paid maximum for Poole at Lakeside a few years ago?? It could have been a 24 point maximum but his partner (Matty Ferjan??) was unable to let him pass for the full 6 points in his tactical ride heat so he only scored 4+1???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I seem to remember Henry Kroeze scoring a 24 point maximum for Halifax back in the 1970's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I seem to remember Henry Kroeze scoring a 24 point maximum for Halifax back in the 1970'sOnly 21 - but as that was in 13 heat match ( a 40-38 win over Hackney) it still merits a mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless (to that point) Matej Ferjan iwon heat 12 and Bjarne couldn't catch him. That was back in the days when you could do a TS - a TR from 15 metres replacing another rider.

Gambo Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Last season (when there were two Tactical Rides per side in a meeting) a Reserve could theoretically have scored 27 points! 4 programmed Race wins. 1 win as a Replacement for any rider. 2 x Tactical Ride wins. (Replacing two Tactical Riders who both happened to be Fn in the first running of their TR race) Now the maximum he can score is 24.

ATB Dave I thought a rider could only get a TR on his programmed rides so that wouldn't work. But, is there any restriction on reserves getting a TR? I don't remember seeing it last year but that means nothing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamBouchard Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 A 24 point score (without double-points) was technically possible during the 1976 season. In one of those bird-brained ideas thrown up at the Winter Conference, a revised rider-replacement regulation allowed a rider to take THREE rider-replacement rides of an injured rider who was above him in the averages! With FOUR programmed rides, plus ONE tactical substitute ride, it was possible to have EIGHT rides in a THIRTEEN heat match, always assuming you had enough strength to hold on to the bike! I saw Reg Wilson take eight rides in a Leicester v Sheffield match on 29th June. Appearing in heats 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13 he scored 17 and 1 bonus. I guess there would have been other occasions during that season for other riders in other teams. A real test of man and machinery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't ride in heats 1 or 13 so he actually came out eight times in the space of eleven races! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommer Mon Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Don't forget Bobby Schwartz's amazing 21 point max when he came back to Dudley Wood in Reading's colours in 1980, beating Penhall, Gundersen and the other usual suspects. A good way to show the Heathens what he thought about their decision to let him go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I seem to recall an early season Challange match at Poole in the early eighties against Hackney, where Hackney No1 Bo Petersen had eight rides and I think he had eight wins, but I may be wrong (might still have the programme somewhere,so may have to try and dig it out) I think the meeting was run over 16 or 18 heats but I'm not too sure, it was a loooonnng time ago now. Edited to say:- I have just found the old programme for this meeting, It took place on the 9th July 1980, It was indeed a Challange match Between Poole and Hackney, It was run over 18 heats with Poole winning 64-44 Bo Petersen didn't have 8 rides............He had a staggering 9 rides!!!! Appearing in half of the heats in the meeting!!!!!! His Score was:- 1,3,3,2,3,ex,3,3,3 = 21 I have a feeling he may have 'won' his 6th ride, but was excluded for having had both wheels over the white line at some point in the race!!!!!!
