Take it you aren't rushing to the head of the queue to become a promoter then! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait until it dies its inevitable death and a phoenix rises from the ashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct, Shanes & Morris were on the centre green for the penalty shootout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the abusive comment, I have a £16.50 to £20 interest in every match I pay to see. This sport really does have the fans it deserves!

I didn't notice. His first last place, though, was due to one of the Kent riders fencing him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I just put it down to being a typical Brummies number 1. I'm sure it's jinxed, Harris rode better at number 5 than at number 1, Riss vice versa. Edited August 5, 2021 by Deano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ht 10 Starke or Heeps took him right out to the fence, when he rode across the centre green on lap 4, back to the pits I thought it was going to be a case of handbags at dawn !
