racers and royals

Lets use this thread for news on the 2023 season- i have heard from Ghostie and he is ok and keeping himself busy. He is really pleased his beloved Smederna have claimed the title once more.

Thursday October 6th Kaplecza Kadry junior meeting from Lublin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrT_byv1lfI

They do have David Rempala coming back from injury.

Polis stays at Opole

Because the Polish teams won’t do that - they don’t run squads. I can see however that Extraleague teams with a Friday fixture might not be too happy with riders riding GB the previous night and we might see some mystery injuries appearing.

Thornblom stays at Opole.

They might drop Thursday’s- not confirmed Can’t see to many choosing GB for an extra league possibly Woffinden, Lambert, Bewley and Chris Holder, Lidsey maybe whereas Denmark and Sweden will be popular to the rest.

The refused has kindly asked me to send his winnings to the bend fund( not £9500 ) which i`m more than happy to do.

Can`t see there being a German Wildcard. If they get a round then they will have to make do with the meeting WC.

Torun GP Saturday October 1st https://vk.com/video/@speedway.portal?fbclid=IwAR3y60eglV6h9vTKwHb9WJLvc7kQsUBdtsggMivFSXQoZP6LT_oMRXuBwrg&z=video393669591_456240623%2Fpl_393669591_-2

I think the rule has already been posted but the current rule is 1. Run-off for 1st place. 2. For all other placings: Precedence will be given to the rider having the greatest amount of SGP 1st place results, followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on in the current season. If the tie still persists precedence will be given to the rider with the highest final classification at the last round of the current SGP season. so no run off is correct.

Big congratulations to " The Refused " who earns the title " Beat the Bookie " champion 2022. To finish £9500 in profit over the best speedway bookie in the world is impressive( i wll PM you tomorrow) Not sure why people decide or forget to bet !!! Final leaderboard The Refused £9500 London Racer £5150 Red Flag £4100 r8gdp £3150 Hilly £250 tintin £110 NO BET Dawkins 20 Shrewsbury Wolf All things being equal we will be back to do it all again in 2023.

I was struggling because all the ones with * had equal records of 1st 2nd etc etc- I thought that a race exclusion bettered a tape exclusion - so that put Doyle ahead of the other 2 who had a tape exclusion, so i then went to who finished higher when they met. It seems i knew what i was doing

Dave Rowe would have known
