nothing broken he says but some knee damage and out for two weeks.

A day of speedway at the NA - Southern Track Riders Association's latest meeting gets underway at noon - hence myself being up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday!

There's a STRA meeting at noon first.

I don't see why they shouldn't qualify 'Tocha' as choosing competitors for a 'World Championship' doesn't sit well with me but that's just me I suppose. I enjoyed Saturday and think I did say his full name was indeed Peter Juul Larsen at the beginning but was given to understand that the young Redcar Dane likes to be known as Peter Juul - certainly his local paper up there in the North East appear to think so to - go to: http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/north-east-sport/motorsport-news/redcar-bears/2010/08/06/juul-keen-on-full-time-redcar-bears-deal-84229-27010233/

One small general point and that is how can the 2011 GP series determine next year's 'World Championship' when the participants are decided on 2010 showings both in terms of qualifying and, worse still from my perspective, being selected to take part?

You never sat down ONCE Parsnips old fruit?? At YOUR age?? Who are you trying to kid? Anyway back to young Arthur and whatever form of motorcycle racing he eventually opts to plump for, he's gonna be a star!

Ah but no doubt you've been sitting down all that time! And I bet you nabbed the 'comfy chair!'

Tis warm enough in the officials / press box at the NA I grant you!

Was a pleasure watching him ride speedway in Oz last winter too Parsnips old fruit!

Think Crumpy is right about those canoes!

Crumpy has just said he reckons they might need canoes to get out of the stadium!

Will be surprised if we get to see any more "racing!"

Having watched the opener, you've GOT to gate I reckon!

Wonders if Sedgy Snr will present Chris H and Darcy with tulips before they race at Mildura this winter?

Looks like transmission from Torun just starting: http://huckenbuschspace.dbv.pl/viewpage.php?page_id=76

"Slightly" slimy?

Blue cut across Herbie going into the bend taking his front wheel and red ran into Herbie's back wheel - my stream's now gone kaput! But not until after and interview with Herbie who's NOT happy!

How on earth could the ref exclude Herbie for THAT?

Thanks for the updates from me too - much appreciated.

Ta for score updates.

Pardon missus?

Should any (or all!) of these matches be postponed, any idea on re-staging dates?

Yes indeed Parsnips old fruit, as you will know from your own personal experience!

No worries! You're only jealous of him Parsnips old fruit!

To expand further on the above, firstly it was good to catch up with a lot of people I don't see too often including the likes of Darrell Branford (watch out Buxton as he tells me he's aiming to have a skid there if he can persuade son Rob to lend him a bike!), Jack Lee, Mr & Mrs Lance and Lee Morris whom was picked up from Stanstead airport by Lance circa 3.30pm and dashed south arriving just in time to see son Nick win heat 10! There was no real hint of the ultimate comfortable Islanders victory as Cook and Morris recorded an impressive 5-1 in the opener although Paul Starke was clearly a tad nervous in his first ride for the home club. From then on though, the Islanders' septet were by far the more solid side whilst the Hitmen had to rely Cook, Allot and Morris for their points and gained only four heat advantages in total including a last heat 5-! from Allot and maximum man Cook. Perhaps the main disappointment for home fans was Dean Felton, on the eve of his :blink: birthday, after paid wins in his first three rides, missing out on his max with a third place in heat 14.
