I think most supporters stay away because the entrance fees are too high, many tracks are only accessible to car owners, and there are too few big tracks. I certainly agreed with much of what Bertola said (maybe we should have a retro series?) F2 might well become that, if it ever happens.

I always thought about the York district, there were a few empty former WW2 airports round and about, I always thought one of them might make a good Speedway venue (with a nice replica of the Halifax track).

On tarmac possibly.

Has Nielsen withdrawn?

So how come you were mouthing off about him being finished with Speedway recently? Anyway it'll add a bit to the Redcar coffers if someone wants to hire him. :-)

Lighter moving engine parts require less force to move them and will basically go faster. Nothing to stop someone adding weights to the underside of the bike. It's still the wrong thing to be doing for a sport which is struggling financially. I wonder what is happening with the rev limiter?

Are riders using Japanese or Motocross engines this year? It has already been pointed out by a leading tuner that the current valves can be re-used and Titanium ones can't.

British Speedway can't afford Titanium or the current silencers, ditch 'em both.

How do you know that those people would visit a track, could visit a track and would continue to do so when they see the state of most stadiums and the lack of spectators? Then there are the "let's just see what this is" viewers.

Well done Scunthorpe for bringing on a good BRITISH prospect.

Simple answer NO!

I believe Danny is going well in the grass and long track scene (almost all on Sundays).

I wouldn't have put Peterborough that high, crap team and they don't deserve any success after crapping all over the sport for the last two winters.

Would Allot get any reduction for having a year out?

No, I mean that a number of them have reached their level.

Agree! Too many career NL riders.

Do you seriously think that any of them would be a priority for whoever is doing the selecting?

I saw one on Andy Smiths site, do you reckon they will stand up to any knocks?

And that it became extremely boring, as every episode was just the same.

Get his name right!......sheesh!

Watch for Compo pulling his scarf up at the starting gate.

As I remember it, the film was really giving an anti-speedway message. It was interesting to see old races, but other than that it wasn't a pleasant film.

Wouldn't Charles Wright fit?

Gary Irving has retired. It's in the news section of Speedway Star site.

I heard an interview with Egon which seemed to suggest that it wasn't a problem, he also said that they had some much more powerful ones now which would even be suitable for longtracks.
