Thomas is working hard on his whole racing package to improve all round basically and having Dale in his corner will help him ...... Does those same parameters apply to other teams like Swindon, Belle Vue and Sheffield. ? ? or cant we afford to compete on their level ?? ... If not then probably we should have followed Poole's lead and drop down a division.. They appear to have assembled a team equal to ours already...

As he said there are multiple parameters that have to be adhered too, not only affordability ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 There seems to be this general idea that Sheffield are going to be brilliant because they’ve got Pedersen to come back over here and that signing Kildemand will make Belle Vue world beaters? I don’t think we will look too different to them once our full team is revealed. I certainly don’t see our side being built on the cheap at all. Swindon stand out on paper because of their top four but even that could be very different once the racing begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) If it’s Cook and Riss to come and those 2 plus Lambert can whack in a 3 point average increase then that will push in Lynn in amongst it at the top of the League. If we start well then those 3 could really come to the party. If we don’t then the same three could offer the same as last season.

Throughout the season up to August Swindon were still struggling to make the top four and looking poor away. Everyone seems to forget that since they picked up in September.

Weeyin Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 If Cook is back at Lynn ,I would expect him to increase his average as he should be used to the track, Lynn should do better next season if everyone can stay fit. Hoping to make my first ever trip down next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 There is a chink of light fellas as it was announced at the talk in the other night that the track will be prepared slicker, hopefully that will mean better racing. Certainly can’t make it worse! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly can’t make it worse! Think it can only be helped with Buster slipping into the background. If he continues to interfere with the track though, Dale will be on a collision course and out the club, just like Rob Lyon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I wish I could be optimistic like others on here, but have been down this road too many times . Years back, when the track was good, the score wasn't as important because the racing made it exciting. Now with this 'Gate and Go' philosophy the only consolation is the winning margin.. I've always believed the track is basically a good size and shape and lends itself to good racing, just a pity on the shale they use and the amount they put on it.... Making it slicker will provide better racing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that is going to be the case hence Shroeck carrying on as TM so that Dale can promote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a good shape, but do think a bit of extra width in the bends (and hence slightly shorter straights) would help..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is good is that the racing speeds are higher and the new width of the straights and bends gives more racing lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
