I saw her at Gustrow on Sunday and was very impressed. Very aggressive into the turns with plenty of speed. Scored six points, none of them gifts.

Can I place on record my thanks to the Birmingham promoters for their quick and positive response.

I trust you will remove this fatuous comment given that Birmingham speedway website specifically states parking is available at One Stop (and I think you'll find that it was part of the original planning consent for Birmingham speedway)

Just received a parking ticket for parking in the One Stop (21 Aug Brum v Leicester). Advice please.

Dave is his uncle. Dave's brother and Ellis' father is former ref Robbie Perks Edit - correction Dave is ELLIS' great uncle.

He still is. On track he was a great "friend" of Neil Evitts.

All the Championship promoters who benefit from the shared events.

No I mean promoters.

Because it works. It is popular which means people paying to attend and that means money that keeps promoters solvent.

My info comes from Speedwayresearcher - Workington 1970 file.

5 April 1970 Chris Blythe and Malcolm Mackay for Workington at Rochdale ( coincidentally Worky's first ever away meeting)

2005 European Junior Championship Final [which begs the question how did he manage to ride in the semi final?] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Individual_Speedway_Junior_European_Championship

There is another example (from 1956) at California where dead heat was scored inconsistently - both second place riders getting 2 points. I think this is what might have happened here.

Me too - first really serious accident I saw

Except you've conveniently overlooked Berntzon's 2018 stat of 1.753. Overall these stats demonstrate that there is little in it between any of THJ, Thorrsell, Berntzon, Sundstrom and Nilsson, and that none of them has exactly made a sustained major impact ( and of course these figures do not take Into account performances outside Sweden.)

Peter Ljung also had a season in the GPs. And if you exclude AJ, Freddie and Tonio he has been the top Swede in the Elitserien four times in the last five years. [Sundstrom was the best in 2017.] BUT at 36 he is older than Lindback and Lindgren! In both 2018 and 2019 Oliver Berntzon (age 26) has been the top averaged Swede under 30 in the Elitserien.

It is a major FIM-Europe event, recent past winners include the mighty speedway nation of Italy! ( and most of Italy's points were scored by an Argentinian)

It was a difficult call to make even if you were there. There was no consensus among the people I was standing with.

Hard to imagine, but for an example of a rider winning on 11 without a run-off consider Kasprzak's 2012 GP Challenge victory 5 riders tied on 10, our old friends Zagar and Iversen taking the other two qualifying spots. and where did this meeting take place? .. Gorican!

But that would give us Thomsen, Aspgren and Loktaev instead of Zagar, Iversen and Doyle. Is that really the way to improve the GP series?

So if Iversen or Zagar have a storming finish and end in the top 8 ( or one of the top 8 withdraw from next season) Anders Thomsen gets the place that opened up on countback?

By my reckoning (i.e. I'm not discounting the possibility I may have overlooked a result somewhere) last night was Lions biggest away win since Sheffield in 1980 [50-28]. A result they also managed at Coventry in 1974. Not since 1951 have Leicester [Hunters] won by more than 22 points away - a 61-23 annihilation of Cradley.

For Wednesday yes, but for the rest of the season the deadline is the 28th. (Not only are the green sheets confusing, some of the figures in column B [5% allowance for home guests] are wrong.)
