Tosh1218 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Have the rules changed on guest riders 7 days before as Iām sure Kyle Howarth will be back with Leicester this week ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimmy Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Iāve said for a few seasons now that the track is nothing like it used to be...yes itās very smooth and easy to ride but as for going into the dirt line for overtaking and getting past opponents it never hardly happens as shown today because the amount of effort that the riders put in to overtake thereās no grip whatsoever and itās so frustrating for us spectators Ā never mind the riders.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Big risk going with three untried foreign riders in the top five, you can see Plymouth getting more hidings away from home.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always gets the crowd going as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Good all round team performance tonight.. was awesome to have an atmosphere there too!Ā Pick for rider of the night - Jordie Palin, if he can carry on riding like that, he'll be a star for the Scorpions, also very impressed with Josh MacDonald!

Shrimmy Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yes I agree first few heats was similar nature but after that it seemed like hard graft to overtake anyone very disappointing..but still it was an ok meeting with some close racing but to many strung out heats which is not normal viewing at the EWR 10 minutes ago, brylcream boy said: I thought that, how many times have you seen someone going from last to first or second by blastingļ»æ round the boards.

They changed a couple of seasons ago. You are not allowed to GUEST at the same track within seven days. That rule doesn't apply if one of the teams is your own club, so Howarth is fine riding for Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
