Brian Hamilton Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I thought Billy H had a difference of opinion with the American Governing Body, over their lack of support and money for American Speedway amongst other things. And because of that I thought he was no longer doing International duties. A man with morals. But if he is riding then good luck to him. Love watching the Americans ride but not sure whether they are strong enough to come through the qualifier - I reaaaallllllly hope so though I agree Sandie, Billy is great to watch and is greatly missed.

Zetters Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Why not Ricky Wells in the United team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Why not Ricky Wells in the United team? Does he qualify to ride?Is he a New zealand citizen or American or both? Or maybe he doesn't want to or can't stay over for it?Either way,although being a good addition the US team is poor compared to what they used to put out.Matt Browne last year and now some of these guys.Will this be the last year they enter?

He rode for United when He was in the 80cc World Champion Ship back in 200? at Green Valley in Eskilstuna!!!! I think that is just the same situation as Laguta or Ferjan though.He can be entered for individual competitions without having an American pass.Just like Latvia can enter Laguta into the GP's even though he is Russian.Laguta can't ride in the Latvian team though nor could Ferjan ride for Hungary until this year even though he was entered in Euro and World individual competitions.Ricky was entered into the World U21s this year with an American nomination,but that doesn't 100% mean he qualifies to ride for the American team in the SWC.I honestly don't know what his situation is.You would have to assume the Americans would pick him,so either he doesn't qualify or he has someother commitment.I can't see him turning down the chance if he could ride becasue he would rather wait to be picked for the New Zealand team Edited May 24, 2008 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was able to ride for the USA, he would have if he was given the opportunity especially since he was already in Europe for the Under 21 Qualifier.

Subedei Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) any news? i cant get hold of Billy to find out myself! He's not doing well. In fact, the United States being humiliated, which is sad to see. Edited May 25, 2008 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yes 9 last places from 10 heats.Only lucky Latvia are a rider short so they still pick up some points.Sad for such a great speedway nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Joke bad! Joke Billy, I think you mean. And it's not getting any better for the Yanks - just 6 points after 15 heats. But little Norbert Magosi scoring well for the Hungarians. Edited May 25, 2008 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
