As there is not enough British riders on the average you have available. Think you may have to run with a few points spare. Quite right! - so imagine my amusement at others on various other threads, hoping and praying that Bradford, Oxford, Swindon and Somerset join the league next year. Guests, double-ups, triple-ups and who knows what tricks will need to be performed to fill another 28 "Sits Vacant". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be BWD, who is delaying making a choice of clubs, probably hoping that he can get a better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be the other rider could be 'Smolinski' ? I think Luke Becker would work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Connor Mountain would be a good shout. What about Zack Wajneckht would he fit in and midweek Home Team surely ideal for him? Luke Becker, as a Hancock protege will already be riding in Poland and Sweden surely and as he's at the dog-heads that will be his quota?

Presumably unsuccessfully? That would have been a really interesting signing and I would have loved to have seen Martin at Brough Park, wonder what his average would have been...

Dandelion Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I think his last season in uk was 2013? Where he achieved an average of 7.56. Multiply that by 1.5 to get his championship average and he would have a 11.34 average... Quite the average there like. I suppose something like this would have been on the cards then? Martin Smolinski 11.34 Ashey Morris 5.32 James Shanes 5.18 Paco Castagna 4.93 Chris Harris 8.48 Tom Perry 3.38 Jack Thomas ** Total: 38.63 Back to the drawing boards... Looks like it would have been a decent team that. Or maybe even Ryan Kinsley, JPB if he making a return, or Georgie Wood if he still rides, instead of Tom Perry. Hmmm Edited March 10, 2021 by Dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm The problem being that even an applied Smolinski who would likely be the highest rated rider in the CL would still struggle to maintain a huge average. On that basis why break the bank to sign a rider just to use up available points? I suspect that number of leagues prohibits Rasser Jensen but maybe Hans Andersen is worth a punt? Plenty of other veterens are viewing doubling up in the UK as the way forward, would have kit here anyway and just has class. Hans and Connor Mountain would be a great finish to the team. BTW pretty sure Tom Perry has hung his kevlars up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Grobauer signs. It looks like a team of second strings plus Bomber so I hope they can at least find a proper second heat leader. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(does anyone know his average?) Grobauer isnt a bad rider.....he won the German best pairs last season, scoring 14 points? My only concern is, he seems to have an unpredictable personality? Hope he's mentally strong enough? Saw him just once when visiting with Somerset....think he had 2 decent races...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Gentelmen, as a newby on here my posts have to be approved, so I do not know how long it will be before this post appears on this thread. It just so happens I recently took my old 2 valve Jawa engine for restoration to a well known engine builder and tuner, and we chin wagged for an hour or two about speedway, he was also the man who did ( and will be doing) Grobauers engines, so he new first hand the problems, nothing to startling and I am not going to broadcast the details, but I understand the problems he had at Somerset. The tuner thinks Grobauer is a good prospect and could be a suprise package for the Brummies, given the right enviroment, and made to feel at home. Cant wait for the season to start 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWD will be on an 8.21 average (if my sums are correct)... So would fit...
