Speedball

I could (then I woke up)

Make it 5 First time I've tuned in and really impressed. What a great idea.

Don't know if anyone else has seen but the new Speedway GP app by Vivid Games has been released. Downloaded it yesterday and it's not bad. The full app costs £1.99 and there is a free "lite" version also available from iTunes. Pretty easy to get the hang of and won the World Title controlling Bomber in my first season (see it's very realistic) It's very much like the Techland offerings on the PC a few years back but nice to finally see a speedway offering on the iPhone. Hope it's a success Edit - Bit of blurb here Link to iTunes Store

Well just to add to the rush, you can count 3 of us coming along. Can't believe it's the last NL league fixture of the season already

Well it seems it is Campos he is replacing so not sure what the reasons are behind the change.

Lewis Kerr now riding for the Young Stars, not sure who in place of.

Really enjoyed it and as others have said, a fitting tribute for Ash. Kus had a very impressive first visit and should be one to keep an eye on a double upper next year. Lambert was excellent and really came alive with two fantastic wins in his last two rides. His battle with Doolan was epic. Sitera was robbed off a place in the final thanks to an engine failure in his final ride. His gating was quite atrocious at times but it lead to some very entertaining passes. Kozza was excellent and he's really starting to blossom into a solid rider. He's going to be a big threat for Belle Vue next week. Finally, it was fitting that a young Aussie with Stars connections won the meeting. Take a bow Sam Masters. Beaten by Kozza in the opening race but what a battle in the final and a great pass to take the meeting My final thoughts are that 1p5wich have broken Kevin Doolan. Seems to be really struggling for speed. Special mention to my personal highlight of the evening which was Mimmo singing the greatest hits of Kathy Kirby in the trackshop pre meeting. Anything to keep the customers away

I think these 15 are confirmed. Now just waiting on news of a replacement for Nick Morris who broke his collarbone at the weekend. Kevin Doolan Sam Masters Taylor Poole Filip Sitera Mark Jones Kozza Smith Simon Lambert Lee Complin Alex Davies Matej Kus Ben Wilson Justin Sedgman John Oliver James Cockle Jake Knight Really looking forward to seeing Taylor Poole and Matej Kus for the first time and seeing JLo back in action at the NA.

Any news on a replacement for Nick Morris?

No probs Sue. It was very late that I decided to go tonight. Cracking meeting but spoilt by the injuries to Darren and Lewis. I'm told Darren has a broken femur and Lewis a badly swollen ankle but hopefully not broken. Killer Cat - the scores are on my Twitter page (see link above). I'm on my phone so can't paste them across to here.

Doing brief updates on www.twitter.com/Speedball74 if anyone gives a toss lol

I have PM'd Sue about doing updates but not heard anything. Do folks want them on here?

Looking forward to this one. Should be a belter. Think the Young Stars will need Jake on his Hackney form for this one and hopefully Olly and Lewis will get amongst the points as well. I can see another last heat decider and a certain James Brundle coming back to haunt the Stars

First off, best wishes to Adam Lowe for a full and speedy recovery I don't think last night's meeting was a classic by any stretch of the imagination but still enjoyable. I've seen some absolutely belting NL meetings over the past couple of seasons. Especially pleasing to see Jake Knight on the gas. I don't think there has ever been any doubt about his speed when in fresh air, but his gating and overtaking were the areas he needed to improve on. He looked very sharp from the tapes and not afraid not to mix when behind (though correctly excluded for bringing down Ben Morley). Impressed with Tom Stokes as well. Another who looks like he has come on leaps and bounds through the winter STRA sessions. Has a slightly awkward style on the bike which I'm sure will improve with more experience but you can't fault his bravery when passing Magic Mason in Heat 7. Credit also to David for leaving Tom with enough room to race fairly. I've seen a few NL "older heads" close the door quite hard on some of the young whipper-snappers and they end up in all sorts of trouble. It was great to see the famous Hawks race jacket back on track and well worth their point on the night. A tough debut for Brandon Freemantle and it looked like being the same for Marc Owen after his first ride. After that though, I was really impressed. All over Mallett in his 2nd ride and then his final two rides, brilliant from the back. There is an air of Mark Loram about him and he's a real pleasure to watch Overall, considering the loss of Adam and the slow starts from Lewis and Olly, it was a pretty good result for the Young Stars. And the best thing is, we know there is plenty more to come from them all

Be great to see the Young Stars finally take to the track. I'm hoping this season will see great strides forward for Lewis Kerr, Oli Rayson and Jake Knight. Out of all the Young Stars, I feel they have the most scope for improvement It will also be my first time watching Marc Owen and Brandon Freemantle race so looking forward to that as well. C'mon the Stars!

Delighted that Olly Rayson has joined up as a full time King's Lynn Star. Put in a number of good performances at the end of last season. Not seen any mention yet on this thread of young Andrew Ross being given a call up to the NL squad. Saw him at the STRA practice a couple of weeks back and he looks to have a lot of potential

There seem to be plenty of rumours going around that Lewis Blackbird won't be riding for the Young Stars in 2011 Any comment Dale?
