Ok Bash...For what its worth ...here is a team that I believe could do very well......
1.Lasse Bjerre 7.44
2 Leigh Lanham 7.16
3.Kozza Smith 7.15
4.Cameron Heeps 6.74
5.Rohan Tungate 7.05
6.Ritchie Hawkins 3.96
7 Josh Bates 3.00
It may not have an out and out number 1...but got 4 riders who could easily become a number 1
Surely the rule to award a race before the last lap was brought in to stop teams trying to gain an advantage when behind....IMO Dan Halsey did not fall to seek an advantage
Can I just point out ...It is called a Best Pairs meeting..In heat 12 Dan Halsey was 3rd shepherding home Josh Bates in 2nd when Josh's engine went causing Dan to fall thus penalising a rider who was actually trying to team ride...Mildenhall knew all they needed was a 2nd and 3rd to qualify....Had Josh had ef and not impeded Dan can you categorically be sure that Dan would not have chased down Rob Branford and passed him...I don't think you can.......re-run
Westhamboy....Very harsh on presenter ....I believe he was just trying to point out that on a day like today the promotion are damned if they do and damned if they don't.....Looking at the forecast yesterday I think we all feared the worst.....even this morning didn't look to great....However the forecast is now much better ,so it's all systems go...I don't believe presenter was insulting the paying public just trying to point out to the public that sometimes it is not easy to make a decision and you will always upset someone....Im sure we are in for a great meeting tonight on a superbly prepared track as always

Trust me if we sold 100 jackets at 1 club in a season we would be over the moon........We have tried cheap....we have tried medium.....we have tried expensive.......The point with Speedway track shop is that clothing is nowhere near the best seller or most wanted item,.....badges..programme boards...pen...beanies...scarfs.....they are the bread and butter......In our track shops we order 1's and 2's in clothing...even replica shirts nowadays are a very small seller.....people just cannot justify spending £30/£40 on a replica shirt or anything these days.....Speedway is not a modern sport anymore...its not a sport familees or kids flock to

Must say where i was stood at the track shop for heat 14...Halsey was no where near Nielsen.....Nielsen's front wheel came up and was out of control when he hit the fence.......Never even crossed my mind Halsey would be excluded..pleanty of room given it what was a terrific race.....Best wishes to Stefan
