is this the same field gun race they used to have at the Royal Tournament every year? if so, it is pretty good to watch

some people will be in Bristol

ok .. i thought Bristol was perfectly placed for both the Friday & Saturday, thats why i'm staying there again this year.

where in Bristol?

booked into the Hilton at Bristol, £55 per night including breakfast, and perfect for both Somerset on the Friday, and Cardiff on the Saturday .. same as i did last year

back straight being refurbished with new stands, 3rd/4th turn will have extra seating in. what did Rye House do for the U21s other than have to move the ref's box?

shocked .. didn't realise i was at Wimbledon .. kinda remember i was in the Eastbourne meeting too

and Kym lives near his dad and celebrates his 50th birthday soon i think

they were full 20 heat meetings though, wouldn't that have made it a bit late?

and i know i got 10 or 11 at Canterbury

maybe the Chapmans should have put a smiley on here when dates were changed a couple of weeks ago .. would have been ok then

my pictures from the meeting HERE

for the people still going on about Scott Nicholls not being there last night, have a think about it .... there is a supposed rift between Nicholls and Harris isn't there. now, if Nicholls had been there in the pits don't you think that would have created friction? some of the team would have sided with Harris, some with Nicholls, and in turn that creates a divide. what Rob Lyon is trying to create first and foremost is a bit of harmony between the riders, a sense of working together and for eachother .. if you have riders ignoring eachother that's not going to happen. at Kings Lynn Rob has created a massive TEAM mentality, and it shows with riders that are there, riders you think might not be good will tend to come up trumps because they enjoy being part of what they do at KL. now, i know people will say Lyon has no experience dealing with EL riders, but he has plenty of experience dealing with speedway riders, and creating the right mindset for a rider is a massive part of the job, whatever team you're in charge of. last night you had English riders going out in each race with enthusiasm and balls, something thats been missing for a few years now, but this might just be the start of something good. R.E Gollob in heat 25 .. i was stood next to the pits and 3 riders were let out and then the pit gate was shut .. why?? Steve Brandon of Sky then shouted at the marshalls to open the gate and Gollob put his goggles on and went out .. too late though. ok i accept he may not have been too bothered, but it looked like he was shut in.

i thought there was a fallout between Nicholls & Harris .. what's the point of having them both in the pits still if you are trying to create harmony and a team spirit.
