Racin Jason 72

Has had two spells as a witch and on the track was absolutely brilliant especially his passing and team riding. But other off track issues hold him back. I feel if you could do a deal where the club provides the bikes and a mechanic who cleans and maintains them with Ben just turning up and riding them before returning home with the bikes going in the opposite direction with the mechanic. then I think you would see a even better version and if he could lose a stone or two then he would really benefit imo.

I’m sure Woffinden uses this device.

Is that where cookie rode a lay down for the first time pass British Grand Prix winner Brian Andersen and waved as he went past !!!!!

I think you should get a advert on the SGB website listing the new features and details of how to subscribe. today’s and last weeks star were outstanding and possibly the best in the last 36 years of my readership. One comment I would make is that the on and off track feature is more comprehensive and more like the rider profile. Also gaffers greatest gaffer also seems too brief. I’d like to see a weekly in depth interview with former promoters of which there are many. Recently I chatted online to Bill Barker which was fascinating with a few questions and I’d love to know how they started in the sport and why they left plus all the stories in between.

I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic but it’s Carl stonehewer

Today’s issue is first class !!! Lots of innovative articles and interviews. Really enjoyed the riders reviews on the tracks. I would like to see the star continue in this way once the pandemic is over and we resume racing. in the age we live in now the vast majority can access results and local reports from every club so perhaps less emphasis should be given to the results and a bit more on new features. I do enjoy the retro side but only if it’s of the time I’ve spectated otherwise it’s of no interest. This week’s issue imo is spot on. Well done to all involved.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Berwick meeting. Especially mike hunters brutal honesty towards the home riders. great service. Thank you very much

If there is no racing the books of most clubs will be more healthy than in previous years. im furloughed at the moment and working on decorating my house. So all my weekend jobs will be complete when racing hopefully resumes. I shall be going to as much speedway as I possibly can as you don’t know what you have until it’s taken away. what’s the betting when we do resume the weather changes for the worse.

I’ve had the digital version for two years now and the advantages are it arrives at midnight Wednesday and I can read it anytime on my phone. I don’t own a laptop just a smartphone so one thing that is a pain is the layout. I have to zoom in to read and features and photos that overlap pages makes that awkward. another thought which another poster suggested was a monthly direct debit rather than a yearly subscription. I think that’s a great idea and would be more affordable to many more people. ive had the star every week since April 1985 and I still look forward to reading it every Thursday. Carry on the great work

Absolutely brilliant and heartwarming. Danny is a really genuine nice guy. Stay safe everyone and stay at home

He did mention Newcastle. I watched it again just to make sure. I do agree with tsunami that I imagine it’s a late payment rather than a non payment. Newcastle promoters have always had a good reputation and were in the game for a long time.

Just watched Matt ford on the video on the sgb page and Steve Worralls name was mentioned twice with the accusation he hadn’t been paid by Newcastle speedway.

Fingers crossed !!!!!!!

So why was Jason pipe released before a wheel had turned ??

Press and practice tomorrow has been cancelled

As he hasn’t ridden for Poole yet that means it doesn’t count.

Any sign of work being carried out ?? Scaffolding up etc ??

Not much chance of many riders being behind on last season’s evidence. Can’t see this year being much different tbh

Did anyone on the forum attend today’s press and practice ? Was the stand available or was it closed due to having work done to it ?

What did he say ?

The one at rye house was a brilliant line up. Well done to all the riders who are riding this time. And all the others who turned down the booking should take a look at themselves or not take out of the fund

He and nick Morris have withdrawn now.

Did posters attend the dirt track show over the weekend and if so how successful was it. I was tempted to go but standing outside all day in March put me off to be honest.

I tried to find the full line on the Ben fund official website and found its not been updated for over a year. It’s next meeting is at Peterborough 2019 apparently I then went to the BSPA site and used their link and it took me to the same site. I know it’s run by volunteers who do a fantastic job and raise huge amounts but the website really should be up to date. It’s only one meeting a year after all

He didn’t master foxhall
