It's called ambition and it leads to the Swedish and Polish leagues. It also leads to a good SWC team.

I expected Birmingham to get walloped in the final. They had a great season but they were never the #1 team as the table said - the running averages gave them Smolinski at reserve for a long spell which under the previous rules would not have happened. That amounted to extra league points. Brum beat a depleted Wolves team in the semi's to giove further false picture how good they are. Running averages brought in after dodgy averaging lowering by Poole in '09 and Cov in 2010. So Brummies fans, be thankful for Poole that you even got to the final . Once more a new rule to close a loophole creates its own unfair situation - the eternal 'super reserve' (Smolinski / Hougaard).

That's one way to win the league every year! Joking aside, a stellar performance tonight. I understand the frustrations on many as to how Poole made the play offs, but as I expected once in they would dominate and clean up. Excellent season from Brum but the lack of a true #1 and no reserve who can score 15 or more from 7 is apparent right now. Smolinski's reserve run gave a false picture of how good they are and defeating a depleted Wolves also gave a false picture. Still plenty to be proud of at Perry Barr.

Had a feeling Poole's top end power would see them to a big home win. Well done and still a stellar season for Brum however this plays out.

I wouldn't say so. Reality was this was going to be uphill even with a full 1-7. Tai's injury was the final nail. The nature of play offs meaning peaking and having the right pieces at the right time, we had the right pieces until May 22nd. Birmingham deserved to win and have been the team of the year as far as making a side that looked about 6th place on paper onto one that is 30 heats away from the title.

So, a promising 2013 fizzles out with the heart of the time ripped out with injuries and replacements / guests not being up to the job. That said, compared to 2011 and 2012, the season has been more successful and we shouldn't lose sight of that with several away wins. Its hard to determine how the team should be when we don't have a clue of the league format. Various rumors are that it'll be a fuller fixture list with team strengths reduced. Also heard that there may be a limit on riders based outside the UK in an effort to reduce travelling costs - something that is worth it for a #1 but proves poor value for Mr 3 point Pole. I hope we retain Tai if at all possible. My take on Freddie is that we should give him the option of taking a year out so he can persue the GPs with less of a schedule or go on loan to get recharged. Lets not forget he has also had a serious injury. I do think that we simply need to sit back and let him come to us at this point though a lower limit may make that decision. PK if fit, and in his final year, would be most welcome as the #2 guy. The rest in my opinion can be fitted in if they fit or loaned if not - I do think we need a fresh face or two and not riders who are space fillers after the regulars who are in but a rider or two who could ignite some life back. Use our assets to get such a rider on board by giving the parent club of such someone who would fit their team. I don't see a single rider who should be nailed on for a spot but of course we can expect at least 5 of the would have ridden in the colors in the recent past. Above all I hope for a fuller fixture list, a season that doesn't end for some in August, a Cup competition that isn't optional, a full set of A and B fixtures, the end of doubling up riders and a product that is priced to give the punter value for money and be back in the habit to come back next week, whilst also being viable for the promoters. This to me is senior to who is or isn't in the team.So, a promising 2013 fizzles out with the heart of the time ripped out with injuries and replacements / guests not being up to the job.

Fast Friday's Motorcycle Speedway Gold Country Fairgrounds AMA National Series Round 3 Janniro wins 4th National Championship By Michael Kirby (Story & Photos) AUBURN, CALIFORNIA, September 27, 2013 Fast Friday's Motorcycle Speedway owner David Joiner's money back guarantee of satisfaction for fans at the third round and final round of the AMA National Speedway Championship at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn Friday night had no takers. In an exciting night of racing Billy Janniro capped a great season by winning his fourth AMA National Speedway Championship with a perfect third round. Janniro won every heat race and his semi-final, then transferred to the grand final round that he won in convincing style. Janniro finished with a flawless night at 21 points, grabbing the biggest share of the $12,000 riders purse. Janniro finished with a total of 56 points over the three rounds of championship racing. Sidelined out of the final round in last Sunday's second championship round in Victorville by up and coming young riders Max Ruml and Gino Manzares, Janniro wasted no time Friday night letting all riders know that he was out for all the marbles. "Every race was a tough race, these young boys Gino Manzares and Max Ruml they're getting stronger and stronger each week," Janniro said. "It's getting tougher and tougher to beat these boys, but me and Hamill still have a little bit of a edge over them, but that isn't going to last that much longer." Five time national champ Billy Hamill was hungry for his sixth national championship and was Janniro's biggest threat during the evening. Hamill finished second to Janniro in heat 10, the only heat race he did not win until the final. Hamill finished second behind Janniro in Friday's third round with 18 points and in the championship series with 54 points. Young riders Gino Manzares and Max Ruml came into the series final with great hopes showing flashes of brilliant riding and giving speedway fans a glimpse of what speedway racing has to look forward to. Ruml tallied 36 total series points finishing fourth and eighth in the third round Friday night with 9 points. Ruml came into the third round after scoring 18 points in the second round. Manzares finished third in overall championship points for the series with 42 and fifth place in the third round with 11 points. These two young men are part of a new group of very skilled riders moving up in the ranks and challenging the old guard in a major way. The national final race was filled by the four riders scoring the highest points during the third round that included Janniro, Hamill, Ruml and Bart Bast. Janniro choose lane four, Hamill choose lane three, Bast choose the inside lane one and Ruml took two. From the tapes going up Janniro grabbed the lead by going deep in the track. Hamill got inside first, but had a battle on his hands with Bast. A bike length ahead after lap one, Janniro just increased his lead over Hamill and Bast who were locked in a fierce race in second and third. Ruml pushed out on lap one and struggled just a bit behind them. Janniro, without a mistake all night, cruised to his fourth national championship. Bast, who only raced in the third round of the series, finished second racking up a respectable 15 points for the evening. Hamill finished third and Ruml was fourth. "This one has been the sweetest, because of the competition I had, I was giving 110 percent," Janniro said. "Billy Hamill and I, we pretty much battled for it all the way through, that's why it's so special to me," Janniro said. The evening began on emotional note as many of the Fast Fridays speedway family mourned the loss of longtime speedway family member Wendy Bast who passed away on Wednesday after a short battle with cancer. Hundreds of signed balloons were released into the night sky in her honor as a crowd of family and friends gathered in the center of the track to remember a very special lady that will be greatly missed by many. 2013 AMA National Championship Results 9-27-13 Round Three 1-Billy Janniro 3 3 3 3 3 3 3-21 2-Billy Hamill 3 3 2 3 3 3 1-18 3-Bart Bast 3 2 0 3 3 2 2-15 4-Charlie Venegas 2 3 3 3 2 1-14 15-Gino Manzares 3 3 1 2 2 0-11 6-Bryan Yarrow 1 0 3 2 3 1-10 7- Aaron Fox 2 1 3 1 2 0-9 8- Max Ruml 0 2 2 2 1 2 0-9 9-Bryce Starks 1 0 1 2 2-6 10- Eddie Castro 2 0 2 0 1-5 11- Mike Faria 0 2 2 1 0-5 12-Tommy Hedden 2 1 0 1 1-5 13-Bob Hicks 0 2 1 1 0-4 14-Tyson Talkington 0 1 1 0 1-3 15-Kevin Chapman 0 1 0 0 0-1 16-Jamison Dilkey 0 0 0 0 1-1 Total National Championship Points (three rounds) 1-Billy Janniro 21, 14, 21 - 56 2-Billy Hamill 18, 18, 18 - 54 3-Gino Manzares 17, 14, 11 - 42 4-Max Ruml 9, 18, 9 - 36 5-Aaron Fox 12, 9, 9 - 30 6-Charlie Venegas 5, 9, 14 - 28 7 Eddie Castro 10, 6, 5 - 21 8-Bryan Yarrow 4, 7, 10 - 21 9-Tommy Hedden 7, 4, 5 - 16 10-Buck Blair 5, 11, 0 - 16 11-Bart Bast 0, 0, 15 - 15 11-Bryce Starks 4, 5, 6 - 15 13-Mike Faria 0, 7, 5 - 12 14-Tyson Burmeister 11, 0, 0 - 11 15-Jason Ramirez 7, 3, 0 - 10 14-Josh Larsen 0, 10, 0 - 10 17-Tyson Talkington 4, 1, 3 - 8 18-Bob Hicks 0, 3, 4 - 7 19-Kevin Chapman 1, 0, 1 - 2 20-Bobby Schwartz 2, 0, 0 - 2 21-Jamison Dilkey 0, 0, 1 - 1 22-Shawn Eldridge 0, 0, 0 - 0

Poole are red hot favorites and I predict a very one sided final. The Birmingham team this year deserves much credit for riding above itself on many occasions especially with some of the dismal performances at times from the rider signed to be #1. They deserve to be in the final and they have gotten the best out of every piece of a team that looked average on paper - huge well done to them. Poole though have peaked at the right time which is the trick to winning play offs. They have 2 riders at the top the Brummies have no star to match. And their middle order is very strong and under rated. The only question is at reserve. I predict a big home win on Monday and then a narrow win at Perry Barr. Simply put, the signing of Hancock showed Poole want this more than anyone else. Brummies still team of the year for coming this far with what they have and simply a superb season.

Chris has ridden only occasionally in the USA the past couple of years - maybe done about 6 meetings this year. He still knows how to skid but I haven't heard anything from him re returning. He did text me a picture of a car he passed on the freeway on Saturday with a Wolves footy sticker on it, so he obviously still thinks of you all!!!

Not the time to make plans. Key for team building is riders who can increase their averages along with some stable points scorers. Rash calls on nights like this are not the best times to plan. Quite simply....team peaked in April. In 2009 we peaked in September - that's how it rolls these days. By the way who remembers TNTs thread in 2009 within 8 seconds of winning the final asking who we get rid of?

Surely Wolves have already suffered more losing Woffy, Proctor and Thorsell? A championship winning team decimated.

Its a win win for everybody. Or perhaps allow a rule where Poole can sign any 7 riders they want but to give everyone else a chance David Moyes has to be Middlo's joint team manager.

I think a rule is needed to ensure that the Turbo Triplets (Chris, Darcy and Greg) are all able to be on the team for 2014. And I think for the good of the sport add in KK to boot as its not fair on paying fans when he rides for other teams when he only is guaranteed to try for one. We've done this in California as a half time show. Obviously cant be a part of the match but its an example of the creative touches that could exist in the UK to add some show.

I'm here all week and available for after dinner dance speeches.

Yes, it will be very difficult for a team with so much depth to make R/R (if needed) work at home. Wolves to win and beat a combined Swindon / Poole team 150-30 In the final....

Uneven fixture list.....not enough home fixtures....Double up riders being unavailable....weeks with no home meetings....the inability of top riders to do all meetings no matter how many we cut back fictures...the loss of the cup (lost when it became optional)....season ending way early for some teams. Major surgery needed and not just a lower points limit and weaker teams to give us more fixtures (all for the same admission price)....the EL is reaping its 'reward' from the utter destruction and PR flaps caused over the 2010/2011 winter combined with the consistent loophole seeking of a minority of clubs. Sorry, you've caused your own demise as reflected in crowd levels most everywhere.

Awful that Wolves are giving a shot to the fastest rising British rider in Speedway, especially against a top heavy superstar laden team like the Brummies. They should have spent their money on a GP rider who gives it there all and respects the fans by always giving 100 percent, like Krystof Kasprzak or one who excels in the Play Offs like Bjerre.

USA World Cup team manager Billy Hamill takes the narrowest of points leads over rival Billy Janniro going into Friday's final round of the 2013 AMA Series at Auburn, but it was his two protégés Gino Manzares and Max Ruml who stole the show with first and 2nd at Victorville. Despite the sometimes difficult track conditions in the daytime event, the large crowd on hand was thoroughly entertained with some fabulous racing. The 2nd of the 3 round AMA Series once more used the Speedway Grand Prix format which produced high drama throughout. Billy Janniro lead home State Champion Charlie Venegas in heat 1 to extend his unbeaten series run to eight races. Hamill answered back with victory over Tyson Burmeister in heat 2. Heat 3 produced more position changes than your typical entire British league match. Mike Faria led Buck Blair before a mistake let Max Ruml into the lead and track favorite Eddie Castro into 2nd. Blair got 2nd spot back on the line. The first round was completed with Aaron Fox putting points pressure on Manzares by leading his rival home. Heat 5 saw Burmeister lead home Castro, who made a trademark outside pass on Manzares, who was now under pressure on 3 points. Hamill lead his protégé Ruml home ahead of Fox and Venegas in heat 6. Jason Ramirez made a stunning outside pass on Mike Faria to win heat 7, with Janniro having to also use the outside to get by Blair to win 8. Round 3 began with Hamill going 3 for 3, defeating Faria. Heat 10 saw Burmeister move onto 8 points with victory over a hard working Bryce Starks and Blair, with Venegas in trouble having run a 2nd last place in a row. Fox took his 2nd win of the day ahead of Tommy Hedden, who suddenly found his groove in 11. Heat 12 was another stunner - Janniro led but Ruml found more grip on the inside, and made a pass that stuck and brought the crowd to its feet. Meantime Manzares was 3rd and needing a rally to make the semi finals. Heat 13 saw Ramirez score his 2nd win of the day from Fox in a re run race after Fox and Blair tangled in turn 3 of lap one. Blair received medical attention and did not take his last two rides. Heat 14 saw Venegas lead Manzares before Charlie's bike stalled momentarily which was enough for Gino to take a much needed win. Bryan Yarrow, on just two from his first three burst to life and was never troubled in his win over Ruml and Burmeister. Heat 16 saw the battle of the Billy's, Janniro got the gate and restored his 3 point series lead over Hamill. The final round of heats saw Ruml lead home Tyson Talkington in 17, giving him 13 of 15. Next up Venegas made late claim for a semi final spot, leading home Yarrow. Hamill beat a close challenging Manzares in 19, whilst Mike Faria produced a vintage ride to beat Janniro, Burmeister and Fox in 20. This led to the semi finals - 4 riders tied on 7 for the last two spots and the count back rule eliminated Faria (defeated by Venegas in heats) and Yarrow (less 2nd places) per the Supplementary rules. Ramirez, the only rider to get two wins, was the leader of the pack. Semi 1 saw a real upset on the cards with Hamill leading from Ramirez. Both riders were pulling away before Ramirez hit the fence on the back straight of lap two and had a hard fall. Despite being okay, Ramirez was excluded. Hamill gated again in the re run with Manzares defeating Burmeister for the last spot. Semi 2 was another upset - Ruml got his now almost expected win but it was Venegas who also out gated Janniro and left a stunned championship leader eliminated, with Fox 4th. The Big Final saw Manzares out of 1 and Ruml from 4 out gate their professor Hamill. The track by now was very blue grooved and despite the fact all three were very close, it was AMA Long Track National Champion Manzares who led home Ruml in one of the biggest upsets of the season. In Support of the Main Show were four other classes. Dave Troutt won both Support Class heats but it was Steve 'Beachball' Brown who led home Jeremy Dunn in the final. Nick Dion defeated Kayle LeoGrande in the trophy dash for Division 1 riders who did not qualify for the main show. The Juniors raced for the Nick Varner Memorial Trophies to honor their former colleague who passed away in 2011 from injuries sustained after a Motocross crash. Broc Nicol won his two heats and the Final. Dillon Ruml won the other heat. In the 150 class 2 trophies were awarded as riders were mixed from their divisions. Sebastian Palmese won the final as well as heat 1, Sara Cords, who won heat 2 and was 2nd in the final got the 2nd Division trophy. This was the first and only Speedway race of 2013 at Victorville and first Speedway only race since the AMA National Series last visited in 2004. The track plays host to 14 Speedway Sprint Car races this year and occasionally runs Sidecars. The AMA National Series concludes on Friday September 27th at Fast Fridays Speedway in Auburn with the title still very open. Results - AMA NATIONAL SERIES ROUND 2 8.

Sometimes you have to cut costs in any business. But you also need to give something back to increase value for money for your fans, whatever that may be. Look at all the things that have been cut since the 80's - cut, cut, cut. 2nd halves, Junior teams, top riders, amount of fixtures - and STILL its in the toilet! It takes more than a winning team to bring In fans - it takes bringing the whole show and experience up to the 21st century (from the 1970's).

There is a viewpoint amongst some fans that if you don't make top 8 you should be OUT unless you make it through challenge. The logic in this is that each year there are up to 7 GP riders that should be replaced by up to 7 more next year. The facts of the matter are that each year there are likely 11-12 of the current series who should be retained. You always want new blood in the series and it should get its chance, but just because a rider finishes below 8th doesn't mean they should be booted out. Yes, sometimes a commercial angle gets a rider another chance or three - its been the Brits now the Swedes may fall into that, but its not like Freddie and AJ are not worthy of re-earning back their previous positions - all 15 riders can't score double figures in every GP. And as far as the wild card system not being fair, there are many riders that come through qualifiers who simply don't belong in the series - Many a Pole who came through qualifiers in Eastern Europe who lasted a year in the series of painfully low scores. The current system of top 8, 3 open spots and 4 nominees is about right in my opinion.

Must agree with this. If my local curry house gave me smaller portions every year, less keema in my naan and worse quality chicken while raising the cost every year I might stop going there.

The likes of Tai, Harris, Nicholls, etc would be prospects for such a league and you might be surprised with the other top line riders who are on board. Most every Aussie would be down for this - even Chris and Darcy live local to Poole so that's not impossible. All I am saying is put riders who want to ride the league first - how can you sell races to your fans when you top rider doesn't seem into it sometimes? Note there are exceptions to any rule and sometimes fixtures clash. Maybe each rider can be granted 2 meetings per year when they are missing based off of a fixture clash where a guest, not 3 pointer can replace? This is not a new concept, back in the 80s the Americans had to do a week at home each season and at Wolves we'd get Shooey in for Sam. Folks can negative bash my ideas all they like but essentially they are not looking at workable solutions and watching the sport go down the plughole and doing nothing as the last drop of water goes down the sink.

I would like a league featuring the best available riders who actually want to and can commit to the league, their club and fans -that's every meeting. GP and foreign riders are welcome but not those who try only when then want to and / or either miss meetings or go through the motions sometimes. The riders who use the league purely to fund their GP program or supplement income are not welcome anymore. I would like a league that has a full fixture list of a home match every week unless you are away. That means we choose the schedule and amount of meetings our fans and sponsors want and then riders can either take or leave it, but hopefully take it. I want a league without double up riders so fans can plan to go to away matches to see THEIR riders, not 4 and 3 guests. I would like a league that promotes British talent but also opens the door to loyal foreigners who are based in the UK (Aussies and Yanks at the top) and put the UK first. I would like to see a limit on riders not based In the UK, as flights and hotels add costs on top of points money. I would like to see a league where fair play prevails and the few don't try to find rules loopholes to gain advantage. I want a league tha has a five year blueprint so that it doesn't need life support every November. I want a league that has rule to benefit all that don't change on a whim when they don't suit certain teams. I want a league big enough to go once around or if 10 teams or less, full set of A and B fixtures. I want a league with a cup competition that is not optional. I want to see 7 man teams most meetings not 6.

Can anyone post heat details?

League for 2014 will be as follows; - Races cut to three laps to cut the shale bill of promoters down by 25%. Coventry's budget will be unchanged. - The back straight is to be abolished in a cost cutting measure. More shale overhead reduced - 7 Double Up Riders per team - The green helmet color returns as it is pointed out the league was better when we last had it - Each team to race every team once home and away, some twice, Eastbourne hopefully not at all. - To save any temptation for rule manipulation, Poole are seeded straight into the play offs and awarded the league title. The other 9 clubs are battling for the coveted 2nd spot. - Heat leader and top rider limits to be set once we know what Chris and Darcy want to do. - Any new promoters to the league are to have Krystof Kasprzak on their team, just for Sh*ts and giggles. - Sky TV deal to change. Poole are to be shown most every Monday. Correction, Sky TV deal remains the same. The savings the above make will be passed onto the fans. Admission prices at all tracks will rise by 1 pound.
