Cant remember the date opposition or anything much else from the meeting but I have recollections of Cookie smashing the Foxhall track record in his first ride one night -I think he took nearly a second off it. In his next outing he was leading by a mile and fell on his own. I was convinced he was going so fast that he wouldve taken another second off had he stayed on! Would be good if someone could confirm if my memory is right or has just developed over the years in an over active imagination! I think it was at the time when he had some camoflauge leathers.

cant provide a link but Dannys registration was purchased by Kings Lynn last summer. He told me himself.

Managed to have a quick chat with Leigh this evening. Looks like an early test for him tonight with 100 scouts/cubs on their way to the shop later!! 🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟😨

Thats how it came across to me when reading about how rolling averages will be calculated. It is certainly the case in the top league. There was no caveat to state that didnt also apply to the new Championship. Just checked back on Rolling Averages thread in general section. Posts in last week of November. Gambo (of Kandysoft who provide the framework for BSPA figures I believe) outlined that. A few posts on also says that it will not be just the last 20 used but will eventually use all qualifying meetings from the year.

no - 2016 meetings will not be included in rolling averages for 2017.All riders will get a new figure after 4 home 4 away...

I quite like his quirky offbeat style with articles like this. Its a good attention grabber which can never be a bad thing can it. And we know that there will be the serious well balanced normal coverage from him when the time comes too.

Ithink I may order some ear plugs too....

Still a day too early for me....

the difference would be that this year starting averages are based on 2nd tier strength. So old EL x 1.4 should be applied where there is no 2016 2nd tier figure to use.

Oh for a few more Shane Parkers! Great on and off track entertainment.🚜 Ben Howe was a favoutite of mine - often seemed mad as a box of frogs though 😲

i think the clue in the post is 12.30 SB! Show starts at 10.00🕙➕2.30=🕧 😨 Todays choice was Peter Gabriel-Sledgehammer. Track before was Hot Stuff - nice link to local Speedway too with that one! 🐟🍟👍

I was planning to ask about safe places to park in Worky if visiting. Hearing the news today I take it anywhere apart from outside the police station.... 😂😂

thanks for the warning - will watch my back 😲

Nah theres always room for a bit of the horn 📯📣

New super size cowbell now awaiting delivery from the US..... 🔔💥

So Leigh has announced his decision to hang up his kevlars. Congratulations on a fine career fella and I wish you all the best for life after speedway. I feel lucky to have been aquainted with Leigh over the years in some small way. A true gentleman with a professionalism that all young riders could learn so much from. I think it would be remiss of me to at this point not also mention his brother and right hand man Nicki. There will be very few pit crew as capable and loyal as him. Top man. See you around fellas. 👍🍺

just put on blue overalls or a hi viz jacket and strutt around like you should be there..... 😲

perhaps thats why we are riding on the Saturday even though Sheffield dont appear to have a fuxture on the Thursday.

half lap races that dont finish til Tuesday - just how long is this track? 😆😛

No - home/away x2 in league instead.

because in the previous years his top flight contract was signed before the fixture release. This years it hasnt been. Any top flight fixtures now would be classed as amended/rearranged and therefore the original fixtures take priority.

Was only Bucks Fizz though Baldy 💥

Danny is 'owned' by Kings Lynn.Was Birmingham which reverted to BSPA. Kings Lynn bought the registration last summer
