Could the GP competition be run outside the regular season? Or perhaps a big chunk of it? For example, the first 4/5 GP's be run in February, March and first 2 weeks of April, then start the leagues, have a mid season break from top flight league racing for another GP or 2, then run the final 4/5 GP's in October and November? Also, reduce the SWC to every 2 or 3 years like other sports World Cups.......

Lakeside / Hagon Academy Experience Day
Shale Searcher replied to Mjolnir's topic in Training Tracks / Amateur
Never done the Lakeside one, however, in the early 90's I went on the Ole Nygren 2 dayer at Kings Lynn.. you'll probably do better than a regular motorcyclist, as you won't have any riding skills that you suddenly have to totally ignore/do the opposite to and that is hard.....!! -
Banning Dangerous Riders
Shale Searcher replied to Star Lady's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
When you get onto a Speedway Bike, once you get going, once you commit to a move, it's nigh on impossible to pull out of that move. If Nicki had of knocked the throttle off instead of trying to complete that inside pass, it would have made the accident 10 times worse... I don't think Nicki is dirty, a tad risky, but I think Zagar actually threw the first fist or slap or whatever you want to call it.... I know 2 wrongs don't make a right, but hey, they're grown men..... -
Krzysztof was stuck under the fence by the way, the machine was unmanned, thinking about it, it was only 15/16 ft from me on the inside of turn 2, when I got to the bike, the engine had stopped and it had parked itself neatly against the fence, and I only had to turn the fuel off and hand over control to the mechanic.... It actually was probably a bit higher than 8ft, possibly breached 10 ft!!

Krzysztof Buczkowskis tangle with the fallen Nick Morris last night, resulted in Krzysztofs machine launching itself around 8 feet + into the air, before parking itself neatly against the safety fence....! I can honestly say that's the highest I have ever seen a bike in the air, it didn't somersault, or spin, just looked like it had been launched off a ramp!! Luckily no riders injured in the incident, anyone seen a bike higher in the air?

If that had have been on the first bend, first lap, all 4 back would have been the call, impossible to blame Smoli, as Dave Lanning said, "You could throw a blanket over all 4 of them" (not verbatim) -
Leicester V Swindon Saturday June 21st
Shale Searcher replied to stevethelion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Steady said he didn't think he could get out off gate 4 and opted to not take the black and white in that heat, so not really Norries error, a good team man, thinking of the team and not me, me, me, me!! Quite often you see heat leaders donning the black and white after a poor ride or two, that's why they are heat leaders for gods sake, just because you have a bad ride or two, 0, 0, 6, 3, 3 is not unheard of now, is it......!! -

Unnecessary Delays Due To Low Sun ?
Shale Searcher replied to cyclone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I think the problem is pretty bespoke to each track, I know at Leicester, it's going from blinding sunshine to near darkness, the eyes cannot adjust quick enough and all you see is bright glare, then a very grey image... This is going down the back straight into turn 3.... -
Does anyone think the Blackbird, Garrity and Kerr were at the same level of experience/performance as Birks and Auty?
