I can't add up . just like you are unable to see the point I was making
-
not available or bike not running is the best way for whitmore to score points . at least it gives some of the youngsters a few extra rides .maybe not a bad plan
-
no it leaves the team 3.5 under . half on the total alllowances total .and whitmores 3 = 3.5 points they definitely won't be getting
-
It's Penhall , and I agree looking like Mickey the Monkey from the Gyppo camp , may be a factor .
-
Depends on whether you view Ivan as a sppedway rider or 7 times world champion sportsman , for me he was both but the undeniable fact is he was a great sportsman abd as such should have have a mention on a program which is based ,,supposedly on sporting achievement . Myself i complained to the BBC Online ,didn't even warrant an auto response

anodise is only microns thick , it wont cover the old shale rash . powder is not much thicker but it covers rough stuff better and it tougher

whats the title Mark

you need an adaptor for the dial guage . and its rather too complex an operation to explain by text .better off to go to a track and ask if theres anyone who can show you , you definitiely need to get it right to get you in the ballpark , because if you dont ,it either wont start or it will chuck that much fuel in it will wash the bore and sieze

should be prepared to take £20 a meeting more like , £20 a point for a scratcher like Halder that means max Clegg would get more over 2 grand a meeting paid out in points money ,
-
Halder is at Lesta I think

newprt had a great shaped track for racing .but the surface was always poor ,slick and potholed ,nice stand which sadly was never properly comlpleted , decent changing rooms and rerasonable pits , one of the problems with it was Tim Stone himself . heart 100% in speedway ,but an utter meglomaniac , we used to go to southern track events there that dragged on for hours and hours ,because he wouldn't let anyone help him , instead of letting somebody drive the water truck while he graded he had to do both . and every 4 heats , in a meeting that has 60 heats that's a very long time , I have heard only second hand mind ,that he pissed off sponsors because he was a little arrogant , having said that . a bloke who is prepared to collect supermarket trollies and put the money into his speedway team , maybe he had felt he had a right to say his piece ,

Ronnie Moore MBE , Ivan Mauger OBE, Get on the BBC website and complain , I already have , lets see if we can get an apology
-
This is not the first time Judas has done this , and even when he has stuck with the team he chose he only rides when he feels like it , why does he keep getting tem places ? lets start a team Dean , offer him big money m then once all the other teams are complete , say we have had a better offer so goodbye
-
There was more involved in newports closing than the cost of the toll . something very very dodgy to do with the promotion and their transport business , i can't remember what it was ,but the pervert SCB knew what it was , and blamed I a member of these forums for colluding in the closure
-
Dissapointing to see young Jack left out , similar with Andy Mellish . with a team like like Colts being a second team . riders who are A , popular with the fans ,B, have some sort of local draw to put as many bums onseats as possible are needed to help bring people in , throughout the league there are riders left out who ,were I an NL promoter would be first on my shopping list , and others who have team places that I wouldn't give the time of day to .
-
I dont think anybody other than the BSPA wants it . not the fans not the the riders not the Nl promoters ,and if you are to create a league which is purely for the purpose of development , then you have to have a system where the developed riders can go afterwards and get a decent run at it . as it is the gap between NL and championship is too big ,and if you make the step up you will most likely be replaced within weeks by an untried foreigner
-
Lambert is not a very good example of the virtues of nl speedway . it's no secret that he and his family credit germany with his rapid rise to the top , and he did very few NL meetings anyway before jumping straight into the premiership , a better example would have been Craig Cook , or Chris Harris both spent a couple of full seasons in the third tier while making their way up
-
The same reason Thousands yes that's right thousands go out MX racing each and every weekend , because despite the costs which are equal to speedway , it's what they choose to do ,
-
some elite league riders bin the clutch plates after every meeting , others keep them for 4 or 5 , 8 plates at £40 each , front chains last for about 10 meetings unless you want to risk your neck and have one break then you can push them further , About £40 for a primary chain . back ones last about the same and cost the same , if you want to maintain reliable kit speedway is a money pit with no bottom , dont forget the chainsprays and filter sprays , clutch bodies at £500 dont last a full season either
-
warm up and 4 heats = 850 ml of new oil . about £10 . rebuild every 30 races ,£400

leicester wasn't built on a rubbish tip , Hemsley imported the rubbish tip @£35 a load to pay for the place
