Mike.Butler Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Probably been covered elsewhere but on Sunday 15th Aug 1999 at Saddlebow Road we saw Luke Clifton have a total of 14 rides for K.Lynn vs Rye House (L40-48) in the Conference Lge, and Club Cradley Heath (W50-40) in a challenge. He scored 32 pts + 1 bonus Clifton surprisingly had the slowest winning time of the night clocking 71.9 in the 12th heat whilst Mark Steel set the fastest time of 65.5 in the 23rd heat (out of 31), Ref was Mick Bates. Anyone seen a rider have more starts (other than amateur meets?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 did Joe Owen and Rod Hunter both not score 7 ride, 21 pt max's in the same meeting in an old 16/18 heat match ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 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 A rider can only have ONE Tactical ride last season and if the reserve who has already taken a Tactical was to replace the rider taking the TR then the Tactical would be cancelled or transfered to the other rider, Therefore a reserve can score a 24 point maximum 3 3 3 6 3 3 3 = 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I stand corrected if that is the case but I thought that was stopped and the other rider had to take the place instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no subsequent amendments to Rule 17.11.4 last year. ATB Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I remember Bobby Beaton scoring only half a point all night at Sheffield once. Zeroes and half a point for a third place dead heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
