Woofy's Thoughts About The Team G.b. Set-up
Fromafar replied to uk_martin's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
These Countries have practice facilities that can be used every day .In GB there are very little opportunity to practice.Im sure there are many young riders that would practice a lot more if the facility was there.Poland be being a classic example of young talent coming through due to the facility to be able to practice most days. -
Just made up as it goes along,as usual.As you can see it is all about interpretation of the rules which there seems to be a few different views among the Promotions.

I agree regarding Eric thought he would be a lot better this season very inconsistent from race to race.He has a touch of class though. -
We done 3 nights for £190.

Certainly not his dad as he died when Chris was young!!

While for me they are performing above my expectations given their Team on paper which is what matter,but they as aTeam have not won anything yet.(I don't count the Pairs as aTeam Event).

It's only the format of the Competition that would give Team GB any chance of a victory in the next 5-10 years .i.e,Jokers and Tac. Subs rides.

Crashes You Couldn’t Believe A Rider Walked Away From
Fromafar replied to sparkafag's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Did he not ride later in the meeting? Could be wrong.It look really bad he was jammed between the fence and the lighting pylon. -
I think a lot of fans just give it a miss nowadays if it's a dodgy weather forecast because you just don't know you are going to see .10-15 heats,standing about while riders make up their mind usually deciding NO.its just not worth the money and hassle.

Any excuse nowadays will do.

While it was a good result for Team GB,for me Robert Lamberts effort and track skills showed how good he really is for someone so young where as Cook and King are easily brushed aside if they don't get a clear run and are "one line wonders" on a big fast track.These young Poles have everything speed,track craft and are world class.Cook and King are not IMO .

Yesterday's match at Ashfield highlights to me why the jury is still out on the use of track covers.It is commendable to try and get a match on by the use of covers but is the effort laying and removing them really worth if the forecast at the time the meeting is due to start is not 100% dry and staying dry..The riders simply won't ride nowadays if it rains during a meeting as was highlighted yesterday. The track yesterday had a fair amount of shale on it and the track grade after what I would call as all small amount of rain was nessessary but the meeting should have been completed.The 2 races after Ht 11 were OK in my opinion the riders coped well yet the ref called it off when in fact the rain had ceased.It was obvious the Edinburgh were trying to get it called off for reasons of damaged limitation and it was a poor show from them IMO .Track Covers are not the answer IMO .Detuned bikes and shale on the track is what is needed.

Fromafar replied to SharpenRake's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
still trying to figure out how Ht 15 was not run,the rain had stopped the track was rideable IMO .Public short changed again .Health and Safety no doubt.Need to get brakes fitted next.Masters still suffering from night before IMO . -

Somerset Vs Berwick 29/7/16

We always seem to be entertaining visitors but always seem to crumble in the last few heats against decent teams away from home.When we have had a win and a draw it was due to or selected guest have a good night. -

I was impressed with Luke Becker gave it everything.I also agree with many on here Fricke should have been excluded I am abig fan of Max but he dived in and got himself into trouble. -
Speedway's Twisted Mentality...
Fromafar replied to Gresham's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
That could be the reason most tracks don't bother with the use of track covers, the weather on the day is so unpredictable . -

Typical these days,Monster won't be happy but it will soon be forgotten about.Fans let down again.F.I.M. Should ban him from competing for a couple of weeks if they had any sense. -
Event 2 Vastervik 26/7/16
Fromafar replied to allthegearbutnaeidea's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Maybe not at the same stage of career, but as far as talent on a bike they both have it.Fricke knows what he wants and knows how to go about achieving it.Lambert is a little suspect in that department regarding guiding his career with what I have seen up to now. -
