And at Redcar?

He'd probably prefer to manage Glasgow as well.

There hasn't been much snow or ice.

I was around in the 50s and 60s. The difference then was that Britain was the hub of Speedway, these days if we closed down the Poles and Swedes would carry on regardless and there would be very little chance of a recovery here. The Provincial league showed that there was still enough of a following then and so the recovery began, these days there is very little following and I can't even understand how many clubs are keeping going.

Isn't it Jitendra?

So the numbers they wore at P&P day were not an indicator?

If Gordon says it wasn't his fault, how come Tai says that people were saying the track was unfit on Thursday? It's usually the responsibility of the boss, even if contractors are involved.

That's right, I believe it was called the globe of death and two riders went in opposite directions vertically, it was a sort of cage construction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9aREQpcLGU Just found on google.

He might well be asked to yet.

They don't have a 'middle order' just Rupert Bjerre and a lower order.

From leaked information it would seem that the meeting should have been called off at least a week ago and probably longer. With that in mind, what has happened is unforgivable and it would be understandable if some of those who had tickets (particularly those with hotel reservations and expensive travel arrangements) decided to severely restrict any future visits to the place. A rain-off would be disappointing, this is far worse.

There's also a new one in Manchester, apparently it's for motocross training!

Those parts are usually more expensive than factory parts, more fragile and require more frequent attention.

That's nonsense, you'll still have wheelspin and throttle control.

If you watch the SKY matches they usually tell you which parts of a track have been doctored to provide extra grip, I think these days most riders seem to know how to assess a track from walking round it, so 'secret' patches are probably less likely.

He probably isn't but it isn't in his interests to cut costs and how much do Holder and other top riders spend on engine preparation? Probably more than a lot of middle order riders can earn.

Wouldn't that encourage faster engines that reach the limit quicker, an expensive engine with a rev limiter is still an expensive engine?

Engines were (in many cases) standard engines before someone tinkered with them and added a few fancy parts, so if they can be converted one way, can they not be converted back, and wouldn't the eventual saving easily cover any cost?

'We' might love it but nobody else does.

Don't they already have that and don't some riders actually use tuners who are local to that particular league?

Exactly. The riders were informed of this at a pre-season meeting and were said to be in favour.

Hand over what? He doesn't own the club.

Well if that isn't a 'political' post I don't know what is.
