Sad to hear of the passing of Milan Spinka at 73. Milan was a true speedway gentleman who wore many hats within our great sport. As a rider he excelled in all disciplines of track racing Speedway, Long track, Grass track & Ice speedway winning the World title in the latter. He was also a manager & coach to riders & teams at national & international levels as well as a Referee taking control of FIM events. Born in the Czech town of Pardubice home to the famous Golden Helmet event which he was very proud to have won in 1973 breaking the dominance of Jiri Stancl & Ole Olsen. Mr Spinka will be greatly missed by many of his friends around the globe. Best wishes to all his family & friends at this sad time. Thanks for the good times "Spinky" Ride fast

Championship Pairs Oxford 16th August 2024
Technik replied to Triple.H.'s topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Firstly I felt it was an excellent meeting, All ran in good time. There was dust but I felt the track was made slick & packed hard which made for a very fair track which produced more race lines as the event progressed. Holding on for the interval was a solid decision as the only other place would have been after Ht 9 & then a prolonged break after Ht18 for riders in the finals to chasnge tyres. The grand final was what it was & now the debate of "Who shot John" rages on. The Referee was in a no win situation which ever rider he put out was right/wrong. did Nicholls stall in front of Wright? or did Wright run in the back of Nicholls? My opinion for what it's worth! would be to look at the event & the difference from a normal league match. The scoring system is adjusted to 4 3 2 to cut out drawn races & encourage team riding with the only way to win is by both team members finishing in scoring positions. Given that knowledge Nicholls made a fair pass to move to second then attempted to slow the charge of Wright also fair to allow his partner Masters access on the inside to have his team in two scoring positions whilst the other Redcar rider Danny King left to ride to a hollow race win for his team to finish runner up. The referee made his call & I was pleased he awarded the race & the title as a Re-Run was completely pointless with a rider missing from one of the pairs -
This would be treated as two separate offences, Rider A had been warned prior to this start so would be disqualified for a second offence,. Rider B is a straight disqualification for touching the tapes. It would be exactly the same for the second example

Middlesbrough vs Oxford - 26th July
Technik replied to Bojangles's topic in National League Speedway
I'd hate to be the rising star at Belle Vue next June. I feel sure that he is now in the Colts side promises have been made & he will not be in a championship side just Premier & NDL, both for Belle Vue -
Oxford vs Berwick - Wed 24th July
Technik replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It was an entertaining meeting with some excellent racing. On the whole Berwick riders made good starts but rode very wide in turn 2 allowing the Oxford riders a chance to work up to turn 3. There were some slick passes with Heeps & Jenkins proving their worth. Berwick pushed hard but in the main couldn't take enough heat advantages. I was pleased to see a meeting start prompt at 7:30 & even with the very real threat of rain an interval was taken & fully completed at 9:00 PM. There was a good supply of dust but given the forecast I can accept that. The tractors stayed off the track which shows they are not always needed when the race track is good. -
Speedway of Nations 2024
Technik replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Belle Vue & the BSPA will have lost a fortune. This event just sucks money at the best of times, But to put it on against Euro24 was never going to work. The Polish TV company have far to many staff that need to be paid & their costs met. I'd say on the first night there were 800 paying public in the stadium & about 100 discovery sports staff. -
Maybe a come back for Petri KoKKo is on the cards
-
Buster Hater or not, Questions have to be asked. We've just had the first week this year without rain & there's a bloke in the car park that says there has not been any rain. Just how is the track waterlogged? Lynn may have a weaker team than they desire but this is getting very silly now

Oxford Vs Workington June 26 2024
Technik replied to Anzum's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I 100% would. I would also believe that Belle Vue helped finance the riders travel from Australia & his set up in the UK. I of course have no proof of this, But with Mr Lemons involvement in the Australian production system I can't discount it. -
Celina is by far & away the most talented female rider we currently have in speedway & I agree this is an easy win for her but it's not just about her or the event. These females all had a chance to be coached by some of the worlds best as well as competing against other females. Paddy Erhart is possibly the nearest female challenger to Celina at this point. we can only hope that the group will expand as this event moves forward.

Another American Josh Larsen. He was in the UK for a couple of seasons & I felt he was making good progress then he was gone
-
Yes I agree he is a former Russian national by birth that is beyond doubt. The point I made is that his adopted Polish nation was made prior to the conflict & he represented Poland in that time. The suspension of Russian riders was made after the conflict started & it was at this time that other Russians moved to Poland where they have since taken Polish national status.

Oxford Chargers vs Belle Vue Colts 16th June
Technik replied to Anzum's topic in National League Speedway
The last NDL fixture at Oxford teams were slammed for using older riders (Hutt/Mudgeway) & now todays teams are using unattached youngsters or guests to fill the gaps rather than R/R giving young British riders a chance to race -
I think you may need to revise your views. The FIM suspended the Russian riders from all events that much is correct. Laguta as Sayfutinov took off to Poland & both now hold Polish passports & race on Polish licences. No former Russians have been used in the Polish National teams or the Polish Championship. Your arguement should be with the PZM & not the FIM

Doe's anyone have a result. I have been working & can't find the result anywhere

It suprises me that some of these riders have the same number as SGP riders that are still operating. Przyjemski using 505 is Lamberts number Nagel 108 Woffinden. What would happen if they were to qualify for the SGP whilst the original riders were still in
-
I would think Villads Nagel (Den) could have a strong case, He missed a qualification after run off but he defeated 2 of the riders that were in the top 4 through the heats. Slater Lightcap (US) is another that scored well but just fell short & it would be another flag on parade which always makes the FIM happy. The third spot is a little harder Bedner (CZ) would be another flag but his scores were disappointing. Blordon (Ger) or Rew (Aus) would also be in the mix.

He was a swinger for Deon Lynd after his own partner was injured in a crash at Western Springs.

One of the international tours in New Zealand had a sidecar passenger Rory Dingo & then to use the middle name David Rosco Steen

If a team is opperating R/R can they also use IRR & if a rider has taken an R/R ride can they still take an IRR as well? I think a home win by 14 points

British U21 Final
Technik replied to Chris116's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Dan Thompson is the form rider, Leon Flint is struggling & I find it hard to place him in the top 3 as he has been very inconsistent. Ashton Boughen & Sam Hagon have been putting some scores together. Then a whole bunch of kids that can take points of each other & trip up the stars. I'll pick Boughen, D.Thompson & Hagon -
Prince Andrew would have been there as his mechanic but was stuck in trafficing
