pete cc Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Assuming in the unlikely event Tatum could ride in this league.How could they give him an average.and what would it be.? With time out of the sport & taking into account his average then & reduced by 4 X 6 & then take into account his age = . What average do you want him at? Bung me a tenner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I would like him on 3.98 please then we could start him at reserve..or is that to much to ask for a tenner.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) What would Tatum''s CMA be in 2017 for the NL . That would be the sort of stunt that might draw some much needed attendees to an NL side at Lakeside ?On a Gerhard perchance to show the potential way forward machinery wise If you want entertainment you need a team of youngsters who haven't mastered gating but love getting the throttle twisting and riding loads of different lines even if they don't mean to scrape the fence when they're trying to hug the whiteline Edited December 28, 2016 by Triple.H. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Kelvin is far more important to have in the pits then on the track where he has to worry about himself, i honestly think some of the gutsy youngsters would scare him and he would end up doing a Batchelor most of the time and bottling it rather than wanting to have a proper blood and thunder race with them, besides i doubt his joints (some of which are replacements) would be upto taking the strain.

E I Addio Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Kelvin is far more important to have in the pits then on the track where he has to worry about himself, i honestly think some of the gutsy youngsters would scare him and he would end up doing a Batchelor most of the time and bottling it rather than wanting to have a proper blood and thunder race with them, besides i doubt his joints (some of which are replacements) would be upto taking the strain.Absolutely. Kelvin needs to be where he was last season, watching every race from the outside then talking to the riders when they come in to go over the race with them, also building them up before they go out in their next race. One thing Kelvin said at the last fans forum was that even quite experienced riders will run a last place and come in saying "The bikes crap" but when you ask them what exactly is wrong with the bike they don't know. Similarly they might come in first and say the bike is running great but when you ask them what is so good about it they can't explain, so what Kelvin's job is, is to get the riders to think about their races and analyse whether it really is something right of wrong with the bike or whether it is something they are doing right or wrong on the track, as opposed to making the same mistakes over and over again and not realising why. Obviously with young riders on a steep learning curve the potential is there for talent to be brought out much more quickly with Kelvin adding his experience. If the riders are prepared to listen, and if they have the talent to put the lessons into practice there is scope for a much more accelerated development than would ordinarily be the case.

marko Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 The good thing about the true youngsters is that will listen to advice where as other riders will hear but not listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Or we could have an outstanding former rider encouraging future stars to embrace a cost effective engine and with his on track direction transform some NL racing from what I used to watch for nothing at training schools .Kelvin himself learnt his trade following Simmo when he first took up the sport ,I might add that there is more chance of knitting fog than KT racing in anger again . I don't think any of believe Kelvin will ride next season but please let us have our Christmas fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Ok we have all talked about Kelvin to keep the thread going ,though we know being in the team is just wishfull dreaming..But i do wish they would announce the third heat leader before there are none left worth a carrot ,As i see it Jack Smith my personal first choice ,,,Stoneman ,,, Shuttleworth or even Mason if he is fully commited to do all the away meetings ,,and Lakeside would suit his stye get out the gate and sit on the white line......

I suspect that Smith will be in Manchester (along with Shuttleworth & Phillips) & with Glasgow also running on Saturdays it may make that a non starter? I would be trying my hardest to get Stoneman or Mason the former being my top pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 If Smith is out of the running then Stoneman would be number 1 choice with me to,,However Shane Hazelden at his best would be a good option allowing Hunter to start at reserve with an additional 4 pointer in the team ,,+one 3 pointer giving a more strength in depth side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 People started talking about Leigh Lenham, Has this been kicked into the long grass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 People started talking about Leigh Lenham, Has this been kicked into the long grass? I don't think it was ever out of the long grass, but if people are going to seriously talk about David Mason then Leigh Lanham is a far better bet, to do exactly the same sort of job only better ( that is better but stil boring). The punters are not going to come through the turnstiles to so some 40 year old, pop out the gate and trundle round the white line like a mobile road block. We need some young blood with the talent to improve not get worse. No more talk of David Mason please, don't even joke about it. Under 25's only.

Who will the punters come through the turnstiles to see? I think Lanham would do a decent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
