They say AI is the coming thing....and it is interesting, even now you can give a few pages of your life's history and AI will generate a book, story everything you need to publish it on Amazon. Then you can buy it and give it to your friends.....it is so far from accurate, obviously, but in my opinion all you are creating is yet another lie. Oh well, that is the future, they say.....pretty scary to me! But the AI generated Provincial League did make interesting reading......

There is hardly anyone there.....couple of hundred?

Speedway Grand Prix. Trying to obtain used ticket stubs, e-tickets, passes…….if any one has anything to sell or in the case of e-tickets (via email) please let me know. PM me please and yes I will happily pay for anything you have that I need.

Interesting…. this is what happened to me. I went to the sprint on Friday afternoon and my bag was checked thoroughly and a tag put on. I came out done my thing then went back for the event on Friday and the bag wasn’t checked at all. Saturday my bag was checked not very well, but it was checked. Security is just not there.

Can't wait for the GP tomorrow, lots more um-er.....um-er......um-er......Oh how exciting!

Yep you are both right.....I checked Wikipedia for those I wasn't sure of and there is NO mention of that. So when I saw yours and norbolds comment I checked my own records and yes he's definitely there.

I prefer Stan!!!!! LOL

You are correct.......World Team Cup yes.....World Final No

And Bjorn is ON the list that Chunky had provided on Page 14......I'll repost it next and if someone wants to update it ...Please do!

Not sure the latest list was used above...... The latest list should be (at least I think) on Page 14 supplied by Chunky.......it has Troy Butler at #113 or course he should not be there.

Out of the top twenty that means there are two riders I never managed to see were the number one of course, and Dan Forsberg

2-Per Tage Svensson died 25 May 2008 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_Tage_Svensson

Bomber? Old? He certainly didn't show that tonight and didn't Hancock win three of his world championships in his 40's?

That will go down in history as one of the best speedway races EVER!
