  1. Aussies and NZ riders over the years do this every year, change it around for once and its not good enough. We're not 6 weeks away, its only 24 hours.
  2. Speedway starts again after world cup November first meeting http://www.springsspeedway.com/ ending beginning March leaving a few weeks to lay a new surface for bikes. And yes it does rain here more than most places but Feb March is near the end of summer and usually our hottest driest months
  3. Think BSI want to announce it officially first, that is all
  4. yeah no one here for the Rugby because of the climate. aye. apparently there are a few Aussies that have heard of speedway too
  5. Grand Prix 2012 Auckland speedwaylive.hu 10/09/2011. 14:19 Next year's Grand Prix added a new location.Western Springs Auckland The season starts in the Grand Prix is on March 31 will begin on New Zealand and this means that the 2012 season, is home to twelve of the best battle scene. BSI entered into a three-year contracts in New Zealand.
  6. Elite League I'd like to see 2 heat leaders exempt from points limit, this will allow teams to retain key riders from season to season. And make it possible to entice the GP riders back. the remaining 5 riders from a points limit of 25 -26. At least 1 British rider in each team. ( The named British rider must be eligible and willing to ride for GB) - 10 British riders Premier League At least 2 British Riders in each team ( The named British riders must be eligible and willing to ride for GB) - 28 British riders National League Age limit 17 to 30 At least 4 British Riders in each team ( The named British riders must be eligible and willing to ride for GB) - 40 British riders Youth League All Elite league tracks must provide track time (no financial payments needed) after the match for a mini league of 4 rider teams 13 - 17yrs - 30 British Riders All youth riders are to be encouraged to pit for their Elite league team. At least 3 British Riders in each team. This would see approx 40% of riders to be British and also allow all leagues to experience riding against 'foreigners' who at present are the yardstick to gauge against.
  7. Westren Springs Auckland 1929 to 2012 unbroken except maybe war years
  8. but you half expected him to be, Ward was the weakest link. Perhaps on this Troy should be ahead of Ward for a wildcard GP entry
  9. ask Andrew Silver, he's been in UK for 2 weeks
  10. live scores from Norrköping; http://www.aktuellsp...5.18.php?id=120
  11. http://www.vargarna.nu/ Start list 1st Victor Palovaara, Sweden 2nd Fredrik Engman, Sweden 3rd Eduard Krcmár, Czech Republic 4th Radek Smetana, Czech Republic 5th Prucha Michal, Czech Republic 6th Paco Michele Castagna, Italy 7th Dario Del Torre, Italy 8th Valentin Grobauer, Germany 9th Maik Hofmann, Germany 10th Jeremy Cipinski, Germany 11th Andre Majewsky, Germany 12th Steven Mauer, Germany 13th Tim Scheunemann, Germany 14th Tanner Kane, USA 15th Josh Bates, Great Britain 16th Brady Mudgway, New Zealand 17th Bradley Wilson-Dean, New Zealand Reserve Jonas Engdahl, Sweden Reserve Adrian Bergqvist, Sweden
  12. 4m16s into video is 12yr old Bradley Andrews on 250cc 6m26m is Jade Mudgway's younger brother 15yr old Brady Mudgway on 250cc riding in 500cc class, won B grade Final.
  13. I thought they'd changed the rule, you don't have to have a wildcard from the country of that particular GP. ie at least one of Polands GPs could have a rider from another country.
  14. perhaps the banning of commonwealth riders was to hastie then, perhaps they should have limited it to 1 or 2 riders per team and then phased it out as the under age riders move up the next couple of seasons.
  15. See your point, but isn't better when you tough it out and find out what some of the riders are capable of when they don't have others to rely on.
  16. Haven't we been told for years this is a development league for 'british' riders. There's no foreigners in the way this year, I thought british riders were lining up to ride. Put some newbys in at the bottom and develop them.
  17. I'm amazed an FIM event with no fence. There seems to be so many stipulations on what can be used at an FIM meeting also sizes and facilities. I would have thought it would be very strange to riders that have never ridden without a fence.
  18. what? If it's part of a GP series then all 16 will be.
  19. 18 rounds would be feasible. Australia, NZ, Argentina can all be run between October and April don't forget the season would just get extended
  20. We'll be in Chch next meeting. 88a 250 class
  21. well looks like we'll be able to sit back and watch a GP without whingers then. No more will be known now until about July, it would be good just to keep quiet about this until there is something to report, rather than just slag it off so we are sick of hearing about it as is done with everything else on here There is a lot of interest as Philip says, and wheels are turning. Top people were here a couple of weeks ago. IMG have the SGP until 2021. They know they aren't going to make a profit in Auckland straight away if at all, its about increasing tv audience, they are looking at spreading the gps across the world. This is the furtherest it has to come, if it works here then the model will work everywhere else. There are a lot of links with speedway and NZ for a start IMG head of motorsport has his office in Auckland. Steve Brandon is from NZ
