Daniel Smith

He's proved it, won't be World Champ but he IS ready for the GP challenge. Correct choice for the Brit Wild Card

Gates open @6pm for tomorrow's press & practice

I love the way people know what kids want without even asking them Regarding my 2 nephew's who attend (12 & 9) & a friends niece & nephew ( both 11) what they want is very simple Keep thing's moving. The constant waiting around between races is difficult for them. That is pretty much it. They still do what I use to do, speak to riders, food & drink, watch the racing but the best bit for them? The freedom to move around the stadium & meeting up with other kids. People these days think technology is the way forward, it isn't. It's knowing how to keep youngsters engaged.

I've noticed the Speedway has been removed from the UK Eurosport TV schedule?????

Why's that??? It's what he said but the lad is an awesome talent to win on borrowed equipment & it seems the track was also in poor condition. This kid is something this sport needs. Someone just needs to keep him out of trouble.

Darcy has said on Twitter "Don't expect to much out of me tonight at #FastFreddieChallenge . Cause you won't see it. #steadyon" We all know riders do it but to say it before hand is harsh on Freddie and paying spectators

Sky's basic entertainment package is £21.50 per Month. Expensive if you're just after Eurosport.

The best bit of evasive action last night was heat 10 when Woffinden held a wheelie over the back wheel of Iversen down the back straight. Some serious skill from Tai not to make contact. That would otherwise have been messy for two GP riders.

just you wait and see. The Panthers will be caged and the Stars will light up the night sky from victory come end of day. One things for sure, both sets of fans can't wait

Some people are hard to please. People who say it won't work because it will be old news before it reach the shelves are talking nonsense. Almost every magazine out there is exactly the same. Playstation, Xbox, FHM, Esquire, Nuts, Fast Ford, Total Vauxhall etc etc etc all has content you can find elsewhere for free but they still sell 1000's each time. There is no reason why Inside Speedway & Speedway Star can't work side by side and maybe on odd occasions together. I recommend everybody (even Phil Rising) purchase the first addition and look for themselves before criticising something they've never seen. Week after week we hear speedway needs more coverage, promoting blah blah blah yet someone tries to move thing forward positively yet Speedway Forum members can't wait to trample all over it, brilliant - give yourselves a pat on the back. Good luck Inside Speedway & Speedway Star. Regardless of opinion of some this sport strongly needs you to survive

Don't you worry fella. We have Away & Home wins Good Friday in the bag without doubt

After tonight's meeting I have to say, this team we have assembled looks to have very very good potential. Was very impressed with all of them, especially Kindt, Stead, Kozza & Alden. They should wee all over their starting averages.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BLOODY AWESOME MEETING (& yes I had to shout. It was really that good)

The weather for this is looking awful. The predictions are getting worse by the day.

I think the hurdles are obvious. Agreeing which riders ride for what team

Someone needs to have a word with the start marshall, this thread seems to have completed more than 4 laps of the same & it's still continuing Darcy is here, will ride GP's, EL etc so it's end of story

Yep, has to be Live for me too. I tend to Sky+ & watch about an hour or two behind just to blitz through adverts & ramblings. If anything is beyond the Live feed the result is already known and the interest is lost to watch isn't there.

pleased to hear that Mr R. Fingers crossed all i's & t's get dotted & crossed

because???????? Don't keep us hanging Phil, or is this a speedway star exclusive story?????

it's not snowing where I am. It's 25c +. Pre season sunshine :-)

Kerr could be a top rider. Has the style & skill the only thing that stopped him hitting an 8 average last year & possibly the year before is his mechanical gremlins. Always the same problems, blowing engines or dropping chains, more so than any other rider I've seen. If he can get past that he'll hit a 5+ average for Newcastle easy, a real genuine class rider

Well, after that statement I will agree with Ward. Time to move on. He'd been fined but given no convictions against his name which shows that it wasn't taken to seriously by the court. Wrapped knuckles is all that's needed here. It certainly doesn't come across as bad as the Bournemouth Eco made it out to be. No conviction, no issue IMO See you in 2013 Darcy and hope you have a good season and rip up the GP's

Question. I've seen many riders on Twitter say they use Snus to give them a boost, any idea what that is as I have no idea???

The sun is shining, clear blue sky. THE SPEEDWAY IS COMIMG

It's because he not a Skater Boy.
