Most top riders like the track. It's usually the riders that like riding the boards that struggle due to the banking and shape of the track. Seen bomber plenty of times run out of room and having to shut off before at Leicester. But once you get the hang of it it can be a very entertaining track to watch cause it's a little unpredictable at times. Especially with the kids

Bomber seems to be a master of the dive bomb down the home straight into turn 1... doesn't really matter how he goes at Beaumont Park though as we'll be racing our matches at King's Lynn next season, seeing as though it is our "home" track... and Bomber loves Lynn :D

Well he will have to race at Kings Lynn a few times next season.

A team of Fricke, Harris, Lawson, N Morris & R Worrall don't have much scope for average improvement but I would think they'd be solid enough to finish top 4, they just need to perform in the playoffs then.

I'd take that . Top 4 win our home meetings and have hope in the play offs is a good season for the lions

I thought that was if the RS scheme was dropped which it hasn’t been

Dunno. But Brennan, Flint & Mountain the successes of the RS scheme may struggle to get a team spot now they're ineligible for an RS berth.... which doesn't really make the scheme work does it?

The only issue with Fricke is his hopelessness in heat 1!  I don't know how many 1-5's Belle Vue conceded in heat 1 with Fricke & Etheridge but it seemed to be a weekly occurrence!

After that he's great.

Might be wrong on this but I think he rode at Leicester towards the end of 2011 season for an Edinburgh team, which would have been among his first public appearances on UK tracks - unless I'm getting him mixed up with a different Max?

Yes, he rode as a guest at Leicester some years ago and I remember being impressed. Perhaps someone can remember when it was.
