ONTWOMINUTES

Rip Colin , it was a pleasure to have known you . A true speedway legend . My thoughts are with your family.

I'll ask them both on Saturday and see what they say.

It's ok , I didn't want to get into arguments about what amateur is but I'm just ignorant about it . I wonder if leon flint and Kyle bIckley to name two , would class themselves as amateurs. Sorry to ch958 for making stupid comments.

I know that , but alot of them are paid team members once the season starts.

Surely some of these riders can't be classed as amateur? Certainly not in ability anyway .

Thanks Steve

What day and time are redcar racing ?

Quite a few riders will not score enough to pay for their own tyre , that's totally mad . They then have fuel and general wear ontop of that . Good job these boys aren't professional ? Oh wait , some probably are . Time to get some good sponsors or the bank of mum and dad . After all this I just hope they all enjoy racing and stay safe.

And if I remember rightly it did shane no harm and made him into a much better rider - a lesson for the modern day teams , they could learn alot from this.

Google , fgm engine images and you'll see.

From pictures I've seen , fgm are using the gm bottom end ( from the barrel down ) and have engineered a completely new type of cylinder head .

Nice to see teams filling up the places with home grown talent - not, and then people wonder why british speedway way is in a mess . I feel sorry for the british riders who will end up without a team .

Thanks , that's about as much as I knew too .

Any of you fen tiger fans remember a rider called ian peel ? Just wondering what his background is. Thanks.
