I read similar reports, including one that said a couple of newbies had gone home before the last two heats (they'd had enough), then the Sheffield promotion said what brilliant racing it was! It used to be a very good track and a number of tracks have been praised for their improved condition this year, hopefully they'll reap the benefits.

1st batch of @gerhardengines has arrived and will be going out next week. Jordan Jenkins just couldn't wait any longer! #lovingGTRlife
Some of your scenario's are pure conjecture and the engine will not be compulsory in 2018. If the engine is a sealed one and it blows up it would be covered by the warranty. If the current situation continues there will be more riders out of work or reduced to amateur status. By the way, I hope you're injuries are improving, I like to watch you whatever your riding. :-)
Those 'regulations' can be changed. Personally I don't think they will become compulsory but I do know that they could make them so if they wished. Something drastic needs to happen to reduce costs for both riders and promoters, too many clubs are running at a loss and too many riders are asking for too much. If you want it to become amateur/part time over weekends and bank holidays, fair enough.
It just shows how low Speedway has sunk, they would rather show prime examples of obesity playing darts or pretending to have a fight.
After last night's farce at Poole, is there any wonder?
I know they are popular but personally I don't particularly enjoy watching foreign league racing. I think I need to feel more involved. I have watched occasionally over recent years but it hasn't ever become a must see.
