Mad Max Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I think Barker , with the relaxation of the tapes rules Garrity on his lower Average is a must I haven't seen that the tapes rules have been relaxed, it was announced they have "a strong proposal to reduce false starts" from reports it has been suggested there will be no warnings and no restarts - this could actually mean race is allowed to continue, but any rider not conforming with the starting procedure (ie sitting still and not jumping) may then be excluded at end of race - that would be more strict, not relaxing! however I guess it is something else we have to wait to find out and in the meantime we shall all speculate!

I think it means that as long as the tapes aren't touched the start is valid. At the moment we have a situation where a referee can continually call a restart, when TV and video footage shows that they aren't necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a minefield as the disqualified rider, after the race has finished, could have effected the race result. A nightmare for filling in programmes if your too quick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch958 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 thats good - and good for him - he needs some continuity expect him to sign for a D1 team but no clashes hopefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Amended results would be worse than restarts IMO Yes, but it is no difference from a defective Silencer exclusion. thats good - and good for him - he needs some continuity expect him to sign for a D1 team but no clashes hopefully! Could only happen if he signed for Swindon I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearIt Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Barker is a great start, interesting that JD said he is looking to bring in assets. Maybe Jonas brother??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedcarRacer Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Ben was always coming back so very happy. Hopefully Wright will follow with JBA and Bukhave. Real shame Busch won't be back, I would take Perks and Ayres to be honest, both showed plenty to merit coming back in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk Bear Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Some very interesting comments at last nights social re the AGM . I would be pleased if Charles Wright would be back but I think he is Sheffield bound From the new guest rules it looks like the lunatics at Kings Lynn has won his battle for more guests as they can now be called up for all except reserves .. This is the thing that brings the sport into disrepute , Guests should be BANNED end of story , The double ups are bad enough . No TV deal , why can Speedway not let each track set up & stream their own videos . Use the Media .... Interesting comments from Mr. Rathbone , how the Scunthorpe promoter is allowed to continue is unbelievable Some of the comments make me think that if any promoter took a soliciter with them they AGM would last a month . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Was certainly very interesting, I thought guests were just for any of your top three though? Interesting stuff about TV/Streaming as well with a working party looking at putting a highlights type program on a channel like Motors TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANSE Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 So you want guests banned Norfolk Bear. Example Thurs night at home Barker and Wright crash in heat 15 unable to race the next night at Glasgow [could have said Edinburgh but we will take the good luck ]you will have 2 Redcar juniors as replacements is that what you are saying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Taken from the Bears website "Keay and Duffill are known to be scouring the globe with a good chance that an established rider, not currently associated with a British club, could shortly be on the way to Teesside." Let the guessing begin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
