    Scunthorpe Scorpions 2022

    Whether BWD can ride effectively is more important than his intention to continue riding. Isnt this the same shoulder injury that was troubling him in 2018 or 2019?
  2. Its probably Bomber!
  3. Today should have been the Russian GP which was suspended so it was an opportunity to run a meeting here with some GP riders involved, if they wanted to come.
  4. Brilliant meeting to watch with lots of passing and repassing throughout, and often from the Championship riders. Lambert's hunting of Doyle and getting him on the last lap was superb. The only criticism was the excessive time between races with no grading and no one riding back to back. Rasser will need to smarten up for the GP Qualifier.

    Edinburgh vs Poole 8/7/22

    Lawson riding a lawnmower. We know from experience when one of the heatleaders in a top heavy team dont perform it goes titties up. Got a feeling they will fix it for Wednesday.

    Edinburgh vs Poole 8/7/22

    Ht15 didnt make up for an awful meeting to watch.
  7. Indeed, the only time I could describe the M6 as enjoyable!
  8. Glasgow outgated Birmingham for most of the meeting and held their position thereafter. Danyon superb, moved Cook out the way in ht1 for being too slow! Brum not helped by Ashley Morris struggling to stay upright and Vissing r/r yielding just 5 points. Wish them well, a very pleasant arena to watch speedway. £140 in fuel though ! Absolute piss ripping.
  9. Claus is now sitting nicely on an average of 6.73 which makes him hugely employable next year if Brum drop him.
  10. Last time I visited Brum in 2019 I parked in the car park to the east of the main stand which now seems to be labelled as the VIP car park on the Brummies website. Is this still available or is it only the section on the corner coming off the A34 that's for parking? Thanks in advance.
  11. Perhaps moving on MPT hasn't worked.

    Glasgow 2022

    Announced tonight that Robert Lambert replaces Palin. Quite an upgrade.
  13. We are looking much healthier as a team with points coming from everyone. Tonight was a learning point for Basso in ht14, he got off lightly with a straightforward looking off that could have been so much worse. Dynamite to watch him though.
  14. Ironic Redcar got 3 heat wins after the dreaded ht10 grading, which was actually after ht9 tonight.
  15. Not a drop of rain all day so far. A good drying wind should take care of any that does show.

    Edinburgh 2022

    Stage 1 may be track construction only with everything else being work in progress in future years. With a blank canvas, getting the track shape right should be priority 1 as it was at Belle Vue and not Leicester. Perhaps a change from the Armadale or Powderhall shape is on the cards.
  17. Great meeting, lots of good racing and Glasgow really up for it though we've had harder meetings this season. Leicester had 11 last places and an exclusion with little back up for their top three. Basso was just superb though i do wonder if he didnt get ht15 for his own good. With the rain coming down and the trick becoming slippy the heat time was around 4 seconds slower than earlier in the meeting. Perhaps its time for Cookie to rest up for a week or so.
  18. Kyle Howarth seems a different rider this year. Normally his presence in this fixture is a bonus, for Glasgow, not this year I suspect. Last time out young Dan was r/r for an upset stomach, hope no one is struck down with anything this year.
  19. We need to win ht12. Meeting is delicately poised at the break, wonder if they are grading the track?
  20. Apologies, i have it stuck in my head Ulle started there but seems only rode 5 for the Poole meeting.
  21. No easy answers, we are already sacrificing Brennan at 5 to cover for Ulle who wasnt cutting it there. Brennan is doing ok but can be up and down, putting the pressure more onto Cook to perform in ht13. Bailey deserves his chance at 2, his first time up from reserve. He'll learn from it but will need to go back there to re-find his form.
  22. Great meeting, and a decent choice for BSN to come. Basso shone from the start and Broc looks like he is turning the corner. Typical of Summers to put in a shift like that, we waited all of 2017 for one of those. Dishington too soft with Batch in ht9. Sarj tried the same once with Jim MacGregor and the bikes almost ran him over on the next lap before he put the red lights on. Cook cant ride next week the way he did tonight. His off was unlucky but otherwise not really gating and lacking speed, or is it desire. Wish we could help him in some way.
  23. Kids race takes 2-3 minutes, no problem, keeps our younger fans keen. Its the following 15 minutes of tractor racing that grates.
  24. Something overlooked today was the very minimal grading once ht1 got going. It had no detrimental effect on racing IMO with passing right through to ht15. #ScrapHt10Grading
  25. Fairly decent meeting in the end with Basso, Nicol and Hume getting stuck in. Ulle still too slow with Basso and Nicol rounding him rather than be caught by a Scorps rider after Lambert did Basso in ht5. Jake Allen was fairly poor on a track he's normally decent, Jordan Palin even poorer. Expect stronger opposition on Friday with Oxford.
