I was there too. It was still raining 15 minutes after the call off, and then eased off as I drove out of the car park. A someone else has already said, I went there to see 15 heats of racing, not riders negotiating their way round similar to Gorzow early heats on Saturday. Correct decision IMO.

Thanks R&R. Teams posted are the squads. Actual teams will be declared later. 2 Riders + Reserve

And replace them with...........?

Ipswich already had 90 points, so aggregate was done. Might as well give Hagon track time.

Updates back on after a minute or so fault.

Agreed. Seed the 'best' riders to draw No's 4, 5, 11 & 14.

No, any rider can have a maximum of 7 rides, even an 8th ride if in a Super Heat. Super Heat rides do not count in the Averages.

Thanks! Now I have the option to switch off if I wish!

Yes.

Am I the only one with no commentary, just stadium sound?

Excellent VFM!

I believe that Dan & Joe Thompson will be in the Terenzano QR.

Rick Miller. Needed points in his last meeting of his first season to attain the mandatory point average to enable his return. Went on to be part of the Bees' Title winning sides of 1987 & 1988, two times World Finalist, and was awarded a Testimonial in his final 1992 season. Probably one of the best testimonials seen at Brandon.

Apologies for the 404 error, I had forgotten to remove that link. See PM sent.

Jack Smith has actually been nominated for this event by Slovenia! The place is allocated to AMZS so if they nominated him it means he will use an AMZS FIME licence. Nationality does not matter in individual meetings.

And those that didn't go because of the supposedly poor conditions missed a quite entertaining meeting. (Unless of course, they bought the stream instead). Conditions at the racetrack were so bad that it meant that they had to water the track during the meeting!

Ooops! " I can't thank the team at ScorpionsTV....." Perhaps a word or two missing?

Perhaps the Referee did not have access to the TV footage?

At the Leicester P&P the riders were advised not to ride the inside line on the bends, and they all heeded that advice. You don't get that option when there are 4 riders on the track.

NO APPEAL FROM BRANDON ESTATES! As posted by the SCS group. WE have now received official confirmation that stadium owners Brandon Estates have not chosen to pursue a High Court challenge to the outcome of the recent planning inquiry. The appeal against the refusal of planning permission, arising from the November 2022 Planning Committee decision at Rugby Borough Council, was dismissed by inspector Helen Hockenhull in mid-January, after evidence from all parties had been heard last autumn. The remaining option available to the appellants would have been a Judicial Review based on a legal challenge (rather than a challenge to the decision itself). We understand speedway and stock car fans, and local residents, have been eager to know what might happen next, and there has been plenty of speculation; however, we had to wait for a six-week period to expire, which was the window in which the High Court challenge could be submitted. Recent correspondence with the Planning Inspectorate has confirmed there has been no challenge. We are naturally delighted that this marks the end of this particular part of the process, and also that our approach to each stage has been vindicated. We must once again place on record our thanks to everyone from the sporting and local community who stepped up in such spectacular numbers last summer to assist us with the cost of legal representation. Anyone who watched the planning inquiry, and will therefore now understand the way it was conducted, will have seen how being represented in this manner was crucial to our chances of success. Likewise to our witnesses and those who spoke in support of the stadium at the inquiry, your honesty and passion shone through under difficult scrutiny, and it is sincerely appreciated. There is now much for us to consider as a Campaign Group, doubtless with further meetings to be arranged over the coming weeks. At this stage it is too early to give any clear indication over what is to follow, or any timescales, other than to say that at every stage of the planning application we have worked through potential scenarios and considered our strategy under every likely circumstance. We thank everyone for their support – it has been hugely appreciated, and never more so than during the time of the Appeal – and can assure you that with this huge hurdle cleared, we retain an unstinting commitment to get speedway and stock car racing back to their rightful place at Brandon Stadium, and finally bring this saga to an end for the benefit of both the sports and the local community.
