Sings4Speedway Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I feel like Tungate and BWD could be a likely combo. One already racing in the UK the other knows his was around. Might be a point under but both decent at home and wouldn't break the bank like others listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things that fester too long in the same place go stale. That had happened with the Worrall's at Belle Vue. If he'd have returned, Cooke would have filled that 7-8 rider gap nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilTheAce Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Tungates well liked at belle Vue, his performances and passing at home was a joy. Away from NSS, well.......... I always say it's home where we loose the most matches and loose any 2 legged ties. So getting some homies is the way to go for belle Vue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's true. However, in the past riders who rode at smaller tracks didn't have the power or set ups to compete on big, fast tracks. It seems to me that modern bikes are built for speed and fast tracks so much less advantage for us at the NSS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why the Aces usually struggle to win trophies, most riders thought / think "oh boy we're at Belle Vue next week, brilliant", especially in the Hyde Rd days & now at the NSS....

It seems to me that modern bikes are built for speed and fast tracks so much less advantage for us at the NSS. There are almost no "small tracks" now Kirky Lame, Arlington & Purfleet are gone. Some riders couldn't be bothered to try to learn how to ride them then..... Why would they now? Give me a EoESg or NSS over Monmore, as a spectacle, but racing at "small tracks" is more interesting to watch than a follow the leader fest at a big (Swindon) or slick medium (Poole/Brandon) track. 3 hours ago, stevehone said: tracks like BV sort the 4 out on track from rider to racer. big track should be more common Big.Track.Common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 I wonder what average Woffy would come in on? Last rode here in 2016 finishing with 7.03 I believe, then there would be the 2.5% British discount........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
