He raced for Newport in about 2000 , came in on an average of over 11 that he was never going to match but think he got about 8. he was woeful at times though and looked like he couldnt careless , on a lot of away tracks. he was superb around Newport though and was there the day he broke the track record , he looked like he was going to break it after 2 bends you could just tell. horrible injuries ruined him, his nasty one at Arena when ploughing into a fallen rider and hitting the fence probably what finished him.

kevin bass Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah Ben broke his arm in 12 places i seem to recall and that pretty much finished him, he sat out a couple of seasons after that I believe before riding for Mildenhall in 02 or haps 03 but was really to good for that standard of racing at the time and after that just slipped out of racing.

Baldyman Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I'm wondering that in honour of Danny being such an entertainer, that it would be fitting to have a minutes applause instead of silence or possibly a minute of each? Also whatever happens,,, we don't post any negative comments about team performance. Let's really get behind our riders and spur them onto the title in Danny's honour. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the article about the funeral, the after "party"(not a wake) and the fact that they asked for bright colours as well, with Danny's favourite colour being pink, I think a minutes applause would be fitting Baldy.

Falcon1983 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Maybe Witches have moved into pole position to sign Nicholls and Crump Just out of interest is there enough to play with to get Nicolls and KK?

He's maybe more miss than hit BUT if you could get a tune out of him he could match any of the top riders averages if he fancied it Find out within the next month or so anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin bass Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Well if the Holder visa rumour is true then Ipswich could have trouble getting a decent big hitter, Lindback wasn't great when he returned for Poole a few seasons back and we all know KK is very hit and miss.

Baldyman Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 If no Holder then surely you have to change to strong bottom end,, or throw some money Musielaks way and get a pretty decent reserve stil... I think Musielak and Nicholls fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bass Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Wasn't Chris quoted last season as saying he didn't want to embarrass Scott with the deal he was able to offer him? I doubt much has changed since last season with what Scott wants deal wise even tho he can no longer demand heat leader money, yeah he would make a very good reserve round Foxhall and a few away tracks but would struggle at Peterborough and Belle Vue.
