i love tractors Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 And you have to be realistic, I'm always possitive about our sport! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> we are crazy to think the sport will progress as it is. if they can afford to put up aprize of $100000 for a gp they could pay to set up a gp any where in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollyanna Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 do you live in the mgm grand or caesars palace hotel in las vegas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think there are too many GPs now. Ten of them in a season were quite enough. The more there are, the more our Speedway season will suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 thats why i said to have these gps that are further away before or after the season has finished as the weather will always be ok <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah i agree as you said you dont need to have all Gps between may and september. If you have Gps like in Malaysia and other places where its warm during the whole year, you can without any problem have Gps there when the National Series in Europe either havent started yet or already have finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatDave Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Let's wait and see what IMG have planned for the future - as it is I'm expecting GP's in Japan, Malaysia, Oz, the Good 'Ol US of A and Dubai by 2010. Only thing holding the sport back is the parochial attitude of some folks who think their club is the be-all and end-all. The sooner Pommyland wakes up to the 21st century the better, Elite League on one or two nights a week only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
