  1. Cook has it in the bag and deserves the British title but I have to say, I'd rather of watched Lambert at Cardiff
  2. Thinking ahead already to the World Cup. I can't help but think TeamGB will get eaten alive around this place
  3. Bit of pressure and he has 'heads gone'. Garrity at his best
  4. Anyone know what's happening with the TV schedule? Tennis match only now starting on Skysport 3

  6. It would only be uncomfortable if anything was to happen that would suggest such a thing. Currently there isn't. The last GP a Redbull sponsored rider won it, the biggest energy drink rival. The GP series are desperately trying to get Emil back in the series, a Redbull rival. There's been no suggestion that referee decisions favour Monster riders either
  7. You have issues clearly. It's the Monster FIM Speedway Grand Prix series for goodness sake. Can't be a breach when his own sponsor are the sponsors of the series
  8. If the EL survives the end of this season then I think there won't be just 1 fixed night. It'll be 2 (Monday & Thursday) with a maximum of 2 meetings per week per club i.e. 1 home 1 away. They'll continue with the 2 home & away fixtures verses each team Personally though I believe the Elite League will crash & burn with 3 clubs at risk
  9. "more passing than you see in a match at Poole" was a silly comment considering there isn't an actual pass in the whole race itself. Garrity & Lambert get side by side once in turn 3&4, that's it. No passing, just close racing
  10. Funny you should mention them, they are the owners of Monster
  11. I did. Started buying it from my local shop daily through Speedway advertising i.e. Greg Hancock originally. Same before that with Redbull. Originally bought that because of F1. Actually, I'd say everything I've had is via advertising. Even women
  12. The BSPA could fill their boots. Looking at the regulations it seems that only riders & officials have to have a licence. IMO all pit crews should also be licensed to work in & around any pit area. This way would be an ideal in how to govern who pays and who doesn't in terms of hangers on. No end of WAGS rock up FOC too, if the riders require them to be with them then they'd have to apply for the pit crew licence. £50 would be a reasonable figure & the finances gain from this could be put into youth development. In terms of ex-riders, why don't clubs just post a season ticket off to these ex-riders they're happy to have in and around the club. And/or pay £150 per season for a BSPA season ticket which allows access to all UK tracks. Again, finances that can be pushed into youth development. Just ideas
  13. Those guys won't have the same standard of equipment as they do in the GP's and or Poland. Poland is a good indicator of where riders are, those guys are in the Polish top league while Harris has been binned off by a Polish 2nd division side
  14. PL Is my limit. Watched a season of NL racing and won't go back to it.
  15. Some national events are part of a rider receiving his national licence yearly. Denmark and Poland are the 2 that spring to mind. If they do not ride their licences could be revoked. Not sure if Sweden is the same? Australia and the UK doesn't make it mandatory. The Aussies have riders missing it regularly, the UK has had riders missing it occasionally through it's history. It's always been that way and only the ACU / BSPA can change that. Regarding the England shirt, another situation where Woffinden was in a no win position. His Tweet was spot on and proved accurate. Wasps are being chewed vigorously by some
  16. He did say "top names". Those highlighted imo certainly don't come under that bracket
  17. F1 are running more efficient and environmentally friendly than ever this season. Smaller engines 1.6ltr v6's and running ERS (Energy Recovery System). Not only is 160hp generated from the hybrid motor, today's cars also run a dyno system to recharge the battery when drivers decelerate. What does that mean? On the electric side of things F1 are still miles ahead of Formula E in advanced technology
  18. The system imo is nowhere near finished in serving it's purpose. Not unless we're happy having just Steve Worrall and Jason Garrity as progress for the next 10 years. EDR's should remain but the rider's in those positions should have a life span. No over 25's or 3 seasons as an EDR. Simply remove the 2 protected heats.
  19. Also what I haven't seen mentioned, I thought this forum was originally marketed with Chapman in attendance? Or have I imagined that? If it was, what happened there I wonder?
  20. Is it because of the loss of engine noise? A few playing cards and clothes pegs in the rear wheel would make it realistic the 21st century version if you like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDafMzo4HO8
