We were told after the Edinburgh meeting that if a rider does jump the start that it must be pulled back even if they have penalised themselves. Happened a couple of times with the Scunthorpe riders moving and it was let go... Not complaining as we had made the gate each time... But again, where is the consistency? I've read that in here, nowhere officially, but can't understand the thinking behind it. Why give riders a second chance when cheating?

Fromafar Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 1 hour ago, Ryehouseforever said: Never before in 40 years of watching speedway had I seen a start like that. Lambert had been warned that he was not coming to the tapes by the referee and the start marshall. The time was up and the green light was on. Four times Lambert rolled back and was pulled back by the start marshall. Yes FOUR TIMES! Kemp was hesitantly edging forward meanwhile Jack Smiths clutch was burning away. The smell and black s smoke billowing from the engine. The referee eventually let the tapes go and Lambert went on to win the race. The red lights should have come on and Lambert excluded for delaying the start. The referee did nothing to back up the starting marshall. Smith lost his temper with him but it was the referee who should have got his wrath. Mr Dishington showed that he was incapable of controlling a speedway match. He should be struck off the referees list. The whole spectacle was embarrassing! For the sport and especially the standard of refereeing! Like you say very poor Ref,he should have intervened .Lambert was also doing it in his previous race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bandit59 says, it was mentioned in the meeting against Edinburgh by Dennis I believe as Mr McGregor was getting some dogs abuse at the time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned on a BSN stream, but it’s not mentioned in the regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
