I couldn't agree more. It may be the norm in other motorsports but they don't have helmet covers rendering the whole exercise futile.

The move to a GP series removed the chance of fluky winners, rewarding consistency. What criteria do you consider necessary before a win is not classed as lucky?

Firstly, I DO wish this venture well. However, you say think of the MK fans, but, realistically how many people is that? As a previous poster said, they weren't too well supported over 20 years ago, how many of those are still likely to be interested? Also, fans of other clubs, even defunct ones, don't tend to change allegiance. The best hope would be attracting a new generation of fans but as other clubs are finding out, how?

Who Would Have Won?
Sotonian replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Don't be so quick to dismiss Havelock in 1992, he was on fire that year. I don't have his record to hand but recall that he won virtually everything going that season. -

Tai Woffinden's Views On Single Night Racing In Uk

You should. Last time I looked, speedway had no corners, only bends. -

How Many Of Us Were Wrong About Tai.?
Sotonian replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Me 100%. Like others, I didn't feel he justified a place in the GP's originally. Now he looks more likely to become a multi-time World Champ. Compared to him, Darcy Ward seems to be going backwards or maybe treading water at best. -
Same here. I invite a couple of first-timers around, lay on beer and curry and now feel ashamed at what's being served up on track.

New Costs Coming Fir Riders
Sotonian replied to barncooseboy's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Fine for top riders but more of a hit for those further down the pecking order. -

Ward's rattled because he's realized he isn't as good as he thought he was. -
Sounds like you may have a Rotrax JAP but without seeing it that's only a guess. Regarding oil, it won't have wet sumped because it doesn't have a sump! It uses the total loss principle where the oil drops out of the bottom of the engine after being used. A bike in storage would typically have no oil in the tank. Hope that makes some sense and is of help to you.

Immigration is permanent and a different argument altogether. This is about temporary working visas.

Exeter for me too. The first time I ever stood on the third bend I was convinced the riders wouldn't turn and would end up on the terracing. Oh, and also for the novelty of a dog track *inside* the speedway track.

So Barry Hearn has spun this by reducing the spin. I don't know if I'm dizzy or not now!
