And have them carry coloured water around the track each side of the bike in buckets... Each have two buxom wenches dressed in alpine garb shouting "left, left left" as they hit the bends on one and three.. The one with the most water left at the finish in the buckets wins... Would pack em in. Expand Nice idea, but Ithink there could have been another way to solve it. They should all have got into the inflatable helmets and done 100m race, a bit more exciting!

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted August 17, 2024 Report Share Posted August 17, 2024 Pretty good GP, passing in nearly all the races, good atmosphere despite the lower crowd, British winner what more can you ask, as good as a track as it is the day the GP goes to belle vue is the death of GP speedway in the uk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff and Wales have been supportive of the sport and it should not be under-estimated the contribution Wales has made to the UK GP speedway. It is not a disgrace it is simply economics and whoever the piper is they call the tune. You also have not picked up that speedway is a second rate sport that does not deserve the exposure that the Cardiff Millennium stadium gives speedway. Face it, speedway is on its knees and the majority of the UK does not know it even exists and could not give a toss whether it is held at Cardiff, BelleVue or the IOW. Expand Sad but true, it amazes me that Cardiff can still get around 20k, for a lot of 'supporters' it must be the only speedway meeting they actually attend during the year.

Have a run off... How can a wild card qualify when he has no standing year to date? Expand It's even worse than that, a rider who actually qualified like Jan Kvech is ranked 15th but a seeded rider like Bewley is ranked 7th (or something like that). So if they were level the rider who got a seeded spot has an advantage of a rider who actually qualified!

All 4 riders equal on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. In the head to head section Magic and Robert should have went through (beat 2 other riders). If you then use rankings it would be Bewley who goes out against Vaculik or if you still use head to head then Vaculik would go out against Bewley. Glad I'm on holiday and didn't bother going.😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
