Fromafar Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Would just like to congratulate Kelvin on what I consider to be an excellent column in the Star this week.Hope it is going to be a regular future.His opinions on the mechanical side of the sport are an excellent addition to the magazine IMO.

Hackett Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Speedway Star needs to get more of this in the magazine. That and the Ashley Birks column should be increased. Give a real insight into a riders week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_minall Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I see what you mean when you told me to read the Star about Kelvin's opinions on tyres. I clearly wasn't thinking outside the box! A great read. Looking forward to more of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinh88 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Big fan of Kelvin... great rider for us at No1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Having ex riders like Kelvin and others involved with young British riders I believe is vital to future development. I once had the pleasure of sitting between Kelvin and another rider in an Exeter taxi whilst he explained gating technique and clutch control. As a fan with no riding experience it is fascinating to hear how such small adjustments can make so much difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Know' behave yourself lol lol, there have been several of us over the years repeatedly asking for such insight from the Speedway Star, especially to fill content in the winter months. Nice to see the Star don't stand on their already superb content but seek to improve. Don't forget the excellent savings on a subscription either. Geez i so got to start asking for commission on the number of times i mention that lol. Can you lend me a magnifying glass for the Bydgoszcz scoring chart ? Lol toooo funny BUT true. I would take the opportunity to point out if you like the 'grid' style of racecard/scorecard, as of today's European Grand Prix, i've introduced a MiniMax version. I'll mention it here as i receive no income from it, no advertising and no personal 'fame' lol. NEW and TRULY innovative available from the second grand Prix of the 2013 season is the MiniMax DUAL GRID racecard. For those who prefer the grid style format alone i've added many unique, superior and useful formatting touches that fans expect and have become accustomed to with MiniMax designs. Once again no need to get eyestrain and possess a computer like memory just to see who is leading during a meeting. You have your race-by-race grid - which is as always with MiniMax clearly delineated round by round to assist in countback - and additionally all on the same line the ability to fill in a riders accumulative score race after race. Needless to say, the usual unique provision of pre-meeting and post-meeting SGP series standings are included. I used it myself tonight and......not to be boastful.......it worked fantastic, it was great in being able to see at a single glance the meeting standings etc. The direct download link is http://speedway.manc...GP_EUROPEAN.pdf Methinks the Speedway Star should ask for free permission to copy it and print it out on a landscape page as opposed to portrait page. As with all three SGP racecards i get nothing from it, except for increased bandwidth charges from my webhost provider lol. It clearly is a unique improvement to the yonks old staid traditional grid charts. Whilst i have my own live interactive software version of the standard MiniMax card (every instant bell and whistle updating instantly all aspects of the meeting and series - years ahead of other software) i do have to admit this DUAL GRID version was excellent to use tonight.
