Track curators now doubling up:D

Who gets priority on any clashes? 

And will the other team be allowed a guest curator or will they need to run CR (curator replacement)?

Presume if they are allowed a guest curator the replacement will be allowed to do up to 5% more laps of the track grading and watering than the curator he is replacing?..  :D

Full time track curator? Has he quit BV? Who get's preference if we're both at home on the same night?

He will be doing both...

Any clash would be quite rare I would imagine..

Still, I think it would be better to have 100 or so regulations, sub regulations and sub, sub regulations, written out for any such eventuality...

Just in case..

:D

No there isn't, this year Kings Lynn and Ipswich had home meetings on the same night, as did Poole and Swimdon

But they would both be about 70 miles apart

I thought the distance quoted was 35 miles where a promotion can claim 'protection of interests' and object to another club  (full stop and not just sharing a race night)

Personally I thought it as 30 miles, either way reckon Belle Vue would welcome the local derbies....

I'm sure Belle Vue will welcome local derbies, there are 35.5 miles between the two stadiums when driving.

Could depend also whether who ever made the decision went to the Ian Thomas/John Berry school of measurement :)

I thought  the ruling was new speedway tracks couldn`t open up within a certain distance.  didn`t know 

it was to do with them running on the same night together.  Halifax and Belle Vue are roughly 40 miles

apart and both raced on Saturday

But that was when speedway had loads of supporters

Both of those are not close, not like BV and Sheffield.

Halifax 40 miles from BV not a chance 25 to 30 at best.

Edit: just Google mapped it 38 miles, so my apologies :)
