WHAT an anti-climax for Lambert ... hard to see much passing on that track.

NO, sorry

15 points maximum for Bewley

NOT much like Lakeside

BEING able to handle the big tracks will be important going forward ... none like Rye House or Lakeside on the World Championship circuits or indeed in Poland or Sweden.

THE guy who did the interview with Manzares was Speedway Star Editor Andrew Skeels. It was originally about Scunthorpe but when asked about the SON the comments were made. Manzares later contacted Andrew to attempt to deny what he said but when offered the chance to listen to the tape recording of the conversation backed down.

BIT pie in the sky me thinks

NEGOTIATIONS currently taking place

THE two meetings in Wroclaw

SURE they did and initially tried but too few on here are giving due credit to the Russian pair.

LAMBERT should get one ... maybe a tad too soon for him to be the in the SGP but racent performances suggest he is

ONCE a month? The material used at temporary tracks like Cardiff is stored and reused the following year. The cost of transportng is massive. I believe the original cost for new material for a track like Cardiff is around £250,000.

THAT is being seriously looked at
