Yes, the stock car track at Arlington is on the outside of the speedway track and after the stadium is used for speedway it needs to be left ready for a stock car meeting, fence wise. Cutting a 12" ditch for a safety fence is not an option for obvious reasons. Arlington goes into tier 4 on the 26th, can we see that lifted by easter? I have my doubts..

The money has dropped in Sweden, so racing in the UK, although riding more meetings will be more profitable. Clubs need to play hard ball with riders but there is an opportunity for the UK to leapfrog over Sweden to become the second most attractive league for riders. IF we get it right and thats a BIG IF..

Im currently reading John Berry's (Ipswich promoter and England manager) book 'Confessions of a speedway promoter' and he said then in the late 70's early 80's that the sport needed an Independent governing body to run the sport with an elected board of promoters to help and advise. He was spot on 40 years ago and he's spot on now even more so.

The other thing to take in account is that Europeon riders from January the first will require a work permit to race in the UK, no idea what criteria will be needed but looking at the way footballers could be treated it could be fairly high to gain one.

Most if not all riders will have set up equipment ready for 2020 and just not used it so will be a minimal set up cost for a lot of riders and most British riders

Didn't look like Bewley fancied it, short clip though

Not looking great weather wise for today either

Lost interest a few years ago. Started watching as a kid in 1976 and worked for a rider for around 9 years ending around 2011. Never got the same buzz watching as I did working, not been to see a meeting since 2012 but follow the sport and sponsor riders to this date..

i see Eastbourne are now looking forward to the 2021 season, they are now renting the stadium facilitys directly off Eric and Margret Dugard and no longler through the company owned by Martin Dugard and Jon Cook..

The way things are going, I can see a massive impact on next season too with crowds in stadiums..

There was a bit on Tom Brennan on TV in the south and Ford Jr was interviewed at the stadium and it looked so run down.. I thought then something is up

A former BSF member..

The goverment are now saying sports stadiums could open aagain in October which would rule out any racing in this country until next year..

are you a Belle Vue fan that has seen a lot of him? Do you rate him?

You get a lot of riders like this, they have a fear of racing but want to earn money. Usually towards the end of a career when they have had a few too many injuries, if they gate they will win but if not they will stay safe and take care of what they have.. Not saying Hampel is like this of course

Sad but time moves on unfortunately

There is obviously a lot of faith in Dan, Its harsh in Poland and I hope he gets the time to develop. Fantastic prospect who can race a bike.

Woffinden master class

Struggling so far..

Looked very fast

No I was unaware of that side to him, he was always ok with me, not nice that he did that though.. Still, this thread is not about him so we should move on from this.

Haha, he was good around Foxhall, had some great times with you guys up there, happy memories

Long time no see Badge x

No I wasn't suggesting that you did, apologies if you thought I may have meant that.. I didn't know what he got banned for, should have been a few times proberly but he was a good but strange man..
