To WBW. There is no such rule of "first bend bunching". If the race is stopped it's deemed "unsatisfactory start".

I also heard the announcer mention handbags, but didn’t see anything.
Stuart Coleman got between Ace and Connor and held Connor back.

The two meetings I have been at no mention was made either.

I think you should ask Blobby that not me, more than likely the video was from the P&P.

Was there a date on the video that said it was Friday?

It's just to let certain people know his house is empty.

Used to be like that at Mildenhall.

I think some people should be careful about what they say, just because their real name isn't used doesn't mean that they can't be traced.

No didn’t think so.
Doesn't even have the fact that Morris has nothing to do with the Championship.

They used to sample every greyhound for testing but as you say costs were prohibitive and it is now random sampling. Sometimes before a race and sometimes after as the person parading the dog could addminister something.

To ianb. It's not tracks can't afford sawdust, it does grow on trees you know, but they're not allowed to. Thanks to the enviornmentalists for that, same with dropping oil onto the track.

But six teams in the league.

Or do you think Landshurt and Daugavpils are now in Poland?
A bit pedantic.

4 hours ago, False dawn said:I'm surprised no one has mentioned the real source of entertainment. That being the two minute clock. You'd have thought they would have checked it worked correctly prior to the meeting. Repeated attempts to get it stop from starting at 3 minutes were successful late on only for it to then to insist on starting from 40 seconds.
Ironically, I felt the meeting did actually move along quite well.
Maybe the light from the clock was blinding the ref, that's why he didn't see the racing.

Three hadn't, even a 5-1 would have been fairer.

9 hours ago, Sings4Speedway said:But where does the issue lay? Friends, family, sponsors etc are fully allowed to travel with a rider and ought to be fully prepared to pay on arrival if the numbers exceed the permitted mechanic/guest allowance. Surely the issue rests with the club rather than those who travel with additional well wishers?
You're not wrong.

Not surprised by the laughing and confused emojis. Party lines and all that.

Glasgow have slipped back in the last couple of years sadly.

40 minutes ago, Neila said:Another thing several clubs are losing income by riders bringing in more than 1 mechanic , should be 1 rider 1 mechanic anyone else has to pay to get in, also it could be a health and safety issue if too many people are in the confined spaces of the pits
I've see a crew cab van with six in it drive in no problem.

If I was Chris Harris, I'd be upset they make it look like he's very chubby. Should have shown the size Ace Pijper would wear perhaps?
I would think, hope, that the finished article will look better. the girl who designed it probably isn't an artist and it would be just be a rough sketch.

6 hours ago, martinmauger said:1stly, which pic you referring to. Mid-1970's Ivan did a few match races on 'division 2' circuits with other 'division 1' riders, likes of Jimmy Mac, also Briggo, PC & Dave Jessup. Thanks for replies, an obv position of start / finish line would be half way along the straight but one concensus of opinion seems be a tad nearer turn 4 as it gives riders more time to get into position on the line they want before going into turn , all 4 together....
When Blantyre 2 was built the starting gate was at the halway line on the straight. When Ivan Mauger visited pre-season he advised that the gate be moved back nearer turn four for the exact reasons you stated and also saving a long run to the line.

Don't think it applies if he's riding "at home".
