We saw the car that was sat on top of a scooter, but ad there was no blood or gore, we kinda assumed no one was hurt. My friend at work when I said how many there was, said that there is a big movement to try and get them banned. Home your friend is ok. Yes it was City side of the bridge from what we've been told and it was a collision with a motor vehicle,so probably was what you saw. Our friend is home and OK.Cheers for asking.

horneymikh Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Personally preferred the original A, B,C, D finals, when the GP first started. Gave the qualifying heats more importance, 8 points would rarely have been enough to be in with a shout of winning the GP. Don't know why they changed it ..?

In a F1 GP, each driver has ONE race; a an SGP, each rider has 5-7 races. The F1 series is a simple points-accumulating effort, the same as the SGP series; Mark Loram won by gaining the most points without winning a GP. That is fine, and that is just as fine with F1. What people generally are having an issue with is that somebody is declared the winner of an SGP when he achieved a lot less than several riders above him. Madsen not only won fewer races, but scored fewer points than several others. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madsen not only won fewer races, but scored fewer points than several others. Steve Still, according to wikipedia that season had 11 different winners in 16 races and Keke only won one. Loram when he was champion didnt win at all. Like you say I see now. I'm with the guy who said it's now as good as it can get. There's high drama for every round as the meeting will see a winner that has deserved it (or not, like in Warsaw when Lindgren gave it away). It's for that one night. Then there's the series for which these "one heat wonders" dont get taken in to count, because like Madsen did, on the night he was only worth the GP points he gathered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares who finishes 13th by winning a d final? Not sure even the ridera wanted to ride such a heat if they had an off night in the first five.

DutchGrasstrack Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 We used Hive, Bird and Lime. Pretty cool to cruise around the city like that. Lime was the best, and also biggest area in the city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
