Presumably the riders get paid at their normal points rate for riding in this heat sonas a ball park it cost an extra £1k last night. Worth it?

Cami Brown rarely picks a rider who has ridden in heat 14 for the nominated heat. Wrong but that's what he often does. Claus Vissing rode at 4 and rarely got the nod regardless of how well he had ridden.

Get a grip and stop panicking. Riding at four and paired with the mercurial Thompson is a hard gig for Flint and scoring up to hide GSA may prove to be a big ask. Perry and Hodder need time but the wisdom of having two 2.00 reserves was always questionable. Boughen is carrying an injury and will be a better rider once he is back to full fitness

Probably not. We had the same with Greg Hancock a few years ago and we bought him kevlars too!

Hi Neil Will set up a "Previous Editions" sub head and load 2024/25 back numbers on to it. I'm not very "techie" so it could burst file sizes etc.

Should be The Man! You'll not be surprised to know I'm waiting for a cataract operation. Duly amended.

It has the added benefit of giving Grahn and Polis a free go at Ashfield ahead of the BSN meeting there in May.

Away wins look to be at a premium and Glasgow look weak at reserve away from home.

Again! although the last time our meeting was at Edinburgh on the Friday.

https://classicspeedwaymemories.webador.co.uk/january-2025/not-a-young-mans-game-in-scotland-in-the-1960s Very few teenagers riding for teams in the 60s. Not until the Second Division started up with youngsters like Jessup and Thomas going a team place. Whatever became of Tony George?
