Jonny the spud Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 It's hard enough to get youngsters into speedway as it is but second halves won't work. 5 years ago i'd drive to different tracks around the country with Adam, (bearing in mind we'd already driven over 1,000 kms in the first place to get to the uk) and curfews would kick in, sometimes you'd get three rides , sometimes two, sometimes none. We did it because it was what we wanted to do so the distance was a minor problem but I saw some parents say "sod this for a lark" and no doubt their sons are now riding moto X. Maybe a couple of youngsters per team on 250's riding one heat after every 4 heats ? they'll have the experience of racing in front of a crowd as opposed to two men and a dog, plus their last (of three ) rides would be a "heat 16 " so wouldn't drag on too late. If during the BSPA agm the ridiculous returning to the pits after every dodgy start was banned, meetings would move on more swiftly, everyones a winner ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Butler Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 This season Wolverhampton have run 6 junior heats with up to 8 riders in attendance. I stay and watch (I'd be a hyprocrite if I didn't!). Having just 4 riders continually riding against one another heat after heat isn't great; but when it's 6 or 8 it is of more interest.
