Rye House 2016


Recommended Posts

Aussie could be Tyson Snow, think he might have British parent or Grandparent.

 

American could be Broc Nicol.

Don't think Snow is of the requisite quality and while Nicol looks to have potential he's not yet 18 and would struggle to reach a decent average and would then be unlikely to get a permit for 2017.

Brodie Waters and Jordan Stewart seem to be the 2 most likely candidates of the 'unknown' visa eligible Aussies.

 

They qualified by finishing 2nd & 3rd in the Victorian Championship between Ty Proctor and Justin Sedgmen in the final. They made the final by equalling Proctor's 12 points behind Sedgmen's maximum.

 

They're currently the 'best of the rest' after 3 rounds of the national championship on 18 & 17 points respectively, forming a middle group with Proctor(19) a long way behind the other 'names', Brady Kurtz leading on 43 & Sedgmen 8th on 28, with 12th placed Josh Pickering on 11 .

 

Kozza Smith's average is only .02 lower than Klindt's but I'd be wary of his injury record.

Would agree with that assessment Alan.

 

Not sure how much you can read into the Victorian Championship, as they ran it as a 'closed shop' this year, but Jordan Stewart is a tidy rider and spent come time in the UK with Justin Sedgmen. Waters is a converted road-racer I think.

 

If Rye were to bring in an assessed 5 pointer to replace Klindt, that would leave them a point under the limit of course. It's a tricky one finding someone to fill the vacancy that's been created. Will be interesting to see who the visa reliant rider will be.

Young American speedway sensation Max Ruml is one of the overseas riders rumoured to be in the running for the vacant number two berth at Rye House Rockets.

The 18-year-old is a friend of Billy Hamil who rode in this country in the 1990s, and knows Martin Hagon - sponsor of Rockets skipper Edward Kennett.

Dubbed 'Mad Max' for his exciting riding style, Ruml has won the American U21 title for three years in succession and raced in Europe in 2014 as a member of the USA World Cup team.

Max Ruml ????

 

Rye House look like their writing off the 2016 season and looking to build for the future.

Presume he will come in on a 5 so therefore makes Cameron Heeps a heat leader with Robbo and Eddie.

 

Lets hope for some exciting racing and good improvement from the youngsters - Heeps, Kasper-Lykke, and Ben.

To be honest cannot see us troubling the play-offs this year. But I will be more than happy to be proved wrong.

He could well turn out to be a decent rider . If it's planning for the future , then so be it . Surely that is a better way to go than go with Klindt , who wont increase his average much , if at all , and would most probably miss a good few meetings .

I suspect this will be the last year of speedway at Rye House. This time next year I reckon they'll be planing to Tarmac over the track and turn it into a motor sport circuit.

I really hope your wrong Shads.

 

Have always enjoyed my trips to Hoddesdon over the past 40 years or so.
