Poole have done no wrong with this latest team change. Has been clarified that riders below 24th can replace one another. This role only appeared from 'ISSUE 10' of the greensheets. The only issue I have is that Benji Compton has gone from 20th to 25th on the grade list in 1 month. That does seem suspect.

World Cup Final 2nd August 2014
Daniel Smith replied to mickthemuppet's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Riders don't carry enough speed in a straight line to worry about Aerodynamic Drag but yes, they are camera's. GoPro cameras and they're mainly used for personal reasons. Woffy has used his a couple of times on Yevvo which allows people to watch him practice live (if that interests some people). During the World Cup though, I do believe it was only Monster sponsored riders using them for promotional reasons -

Rob Lyon was the best man for the job too. He also had a 5 year plan. The BSPA wasn't interested so he quit as their way didn't interest him. I can only see the same happening with Rosco under the current BSPA management dinosaur's. -
World Cup Final 2nd August 2014
Daniel Smith replied to mickthemuppet's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Steady will have his special AshTech underneath him so I'm not too worried about him. Good gater & I believe a very good rider. Woffy will will be Woffy. I'm more concerned about the standards of King & Harris. Harris especially who on big tracks in the GP's has looked like a snail. Let's hope that riding for our Nation gives them something extra. A medal is up for grabs and we're good enough to take it but everyone has to be on it. No passengers. -
Genuine Question In Relation To King's Lynn Speedway

Hancock isn't boring. He's just a very good gater, an accomplished racer and a clean overtaker. I use to think he was a little boring but this season I've watched him a little cloder and he certainly is not. What he is, is the ultimate polished professional, with all the vast years experience he's very calculated. And to think that a lot of us people's thought he should have retired at the end of last season. I genuinely think he's aiming to race to his 50th birthday. I'm convinced I have to say I'm confused regarding comments about the exclusion of Nilsson. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I remember a Sky meeting between Peterborough and King's Lynn. Pedersen (identical to last night) rode Bjerre up the fence and every man and his dog said Pedersen should have been excluded (apart from Peterborough fans obviously ). Racer's are racers. And during a race nobody should have to shut off. Nilsson knew where Krcmar was, came from an inside line and drove right across the front of him. Time and time again we here fans scream a rider shouldn't need to fall to call an exclusion yet we get one and now everyone is up in arms. It was a blatant obstruction from Nilsson and I applaud Jim Lawrence for making the call. I would have done the same as a referee

It seems BSI are struggling to shift tickets for the race off yet again. This time offering all Bydgoszcz season ticket holders free admission This is why the host nation should be in the race-off and not direct to the final. Then 2 from the race-off in the final

You'll have to expand on "the lack of centregreen" as I can't see how that affects the racing?? -
Swc Event 2 Sweden. 29/7/14
Daniel Smith replied to Star Lady's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I think you'll be wrong but for sure hope you're right and GB have a night of their lives. Who's in and out of the opposition teams is neither here nor there. Fingers crossed Gollob is in for Poland too as they have a better 4 without him. Would be awesome if we can hit the podium. Being in the final was great but a podium would tip me over the edge -

Danish Swc Team
Daniel Smith replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
With you there. Considering Andersen was on his home Swedish track he wasn't awfully quick, often holding people up. Mads and Kildermand had more pace and would be more suited to Bydgoszcz as a throttle ringing race track. -

Ok, your opinion is wrong, that's my opinion but other opinions welcome -

Virtually empty? I thought it looks quite a healthy crowd. Sheffield's back straight is closed to spectators by the way for health and safety of I remember correctly. -

Swc Event 1 King's Lynn 26/07/14
Daniel Smith replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
The loss of Huggy was huge. Buster is an excellent track curator with pre-meeting preparation, i.e. blading, laying etc but Huggys use of the tractor was amazing. He created racing lines with a slick inside gradually getting deeper the closer to the fence you got. We don't see that anymore with the dirt consistent inside to out. The most evident to that has been the lack of riders being able to gain ground with an outside blasts. That certainly has been the case since our return to the Elite League. -

Not sure that's true. More likely BSI don't approve of the rent fee's for hiring the grounds + the extra cost that would be required to introduce grandstands on the back straights. But you have to admit, for pure racing there's no better place in the UK -

Daniel Smith replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Peterborough is an ideal venue, and not just for the action on track but off it. Acres of space to allow BSI / Monster to have other things going on pre meeting and could make it a mini Cardiff type event. I like the meeting at my home track King's Lynn but it is restrictive to having other things going on during the day. I'd like to see these events have that bit extra about them, especially when held on a weekend -

Daniel Smith replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Someone using a camera while team GB were going round on the parade truck is hardly evidence as clearly the meeting is finished. Many people take pictures then. It may not be the same person during and after the meeting. All I said was, that I hadn't seen anyone use a red light camera during the meeting. There also wasn't any evidence of it on the TV either. There's been no photo evidence of this red light on social media during racing, only a photo at the end of the event, that's not evidence. -

Regarding the red light on the camera. They may not have been aware that red lights are a distraction to the rider's but the 100's around them would. Why did nobody say anything to them?? Have to say from where I was I didn't even see the red light and it certainly never showed up on the TV either. Agree with what was said earlier, I think Darcy used it as an excuse to call a rerun as Harris had the beating of him
