What do Sheffield fans think about putting Jason at 6 and Dan as the RS? You've all watched both of them ride, is it an obvious choice, 50/50, or is there a tactical advantage?

I’d say Edwards seems to have more bottle, whereas Gilkes has a classier style but has much more potential I think. Both on par with each other I think.

50/50 decision for me doesn’t really matter much apart from heat 8’s I guess.

I think mathematically they had to put JE at 6 and DG as RS to get under the 40 point limit

They would have both been 3.

Gilkes being the better rider is ideal to keep at RS, that way, if he betters his average again you'll get a better benefit from his -25% in future.

I'm not sure Gilkes would have been a 3.00 rider, "rising stars" get a 25% reduction when they "graduate" from the RS system, but I don't think they'd get one just for racing at number 6?

He would get his 5% British reduction of his 3.67 average as I interpret the regulations

I’m looking forward to seeing how the new team gel. Very strong top 5. It will be interesting how Gilkes and Edwards progress. Gilkes up and down and inconsistent with gating. I liked how Jason rode, cool calm and collected. I’m sure Steady and the rest of the team will help both lads out. Bring on March.

Not sure if ive missed it but do we have a date for the P&P yet ?

Not aware of anything. If there is to be one would have thought it would be this week, considering the first match scheduled for 14th March.

Does anyone know if Thursday’s meeting against Oxford is in doubt? I see the stockcars meeting on Easter Monday has been postponed due to ‘YorStox and the Stadium team do not believe we will be able to get the track to a good raceable level ’

The weekly forecast isn’t looking great
