Ladies British Speedway Championship.
Fortythirtyeight replied to Fortythirtyeight's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
If your telling me that only one UK female racer has a SCB licence then it makes it a complete mockery that they held a ‘ Championship ‘ anyway ! Liebmann would come in on a 5 , I asked Mr. Vatcher as I was that impressed with her posting sub 57 second race times on borrowed equipment. The lady looked good enough to score points in the championship given an opportunity. -
Ladies British Speedway Championship.
Fortythirtyeight replied to Fortythirtyeight's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Just the two . What an embarrassment. Whilst Liebmann is probably UK Championship standard , she was very quick, why did the SCB feel it needed to fly her over to ride against a junior and call it a championship with only 2 riders in two out of the three rounds? Waste of time and money . -
Northern Junior League 2023
Fortythirtyeight replied to Fortythirtyeight's topic in Youth Speedway and Development Leagues
Might just be that because the senior teams keep moving fixtures and the BYC keep moving dates then the NJL have to change the dates of matches so a published fixture list for juniors isn’t worth the paper it is written on. Redcar Cubs have had their first three fixtures postponed due to circumstances they had no control over, please remember they are at the mercy of their clubs and mams/dads and rider availability. -
under 19 FINAL --Birmingham June 28th -sponsorship opportunities
Fortythirtyeight replied to Speedway fan's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
So you dont know the rules for qualification but still think your comment worthwhile and helpful to a rider out of form ? Your right on one thing, it’s none of your business…… so why make such a disparaging comment ? Harrison is in his first season at this level so wouldn’t be within the qualification guidelines, which as usual with the SCB are not clear and open and can be changed for “the benefit of the sport “ at any time. Harrison is just back from injury so he will get his chance , quite possibly on the day , this could be Harry’s last chance to ride in this meeting, and if your sure there’s more under 19’s ahead of him…..impress me, name them. -
Edinburgh Monarchs Academy v Leicester Lion Cubs 17-Jun-23 at 7pm NDL
Fortythirtyeight replied to eide67's topic in National League Speedway
Let’s face it, the SCB have a long history of dealing with individuals and clubs in a very inconsistent way, it’s called favouritism. I’m not commenting on the individual case as it appears very few know the truth about what happened but when it comes to dealing with such things you can rely on the SCB NOT to be clear and open about their decisions. -

Fortythirtyeight replied to Speedway fan's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Silly comment. Riders go through tough patches , comments like that hardly help them. He’s got his place on merit, based on performances from last season, this may be the opportunity to get his confidence back . -

Redcar Bears Vs Poole Pirates Championship 16th June
Fortythirtyeight replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So if it’s in print , it must be true ??? like some of the rubbish we see on this forum. ? what was actually said, then interpreted, then printed, is quite often a long way off what was meant. If he wasn’t right, he would not be riding, that’s why he took so long off. He certainly didn’t look dangerous whilst scoring paid 13 last week. -
Edinburgh Monarchs Academy v Leicester Lion Cubs 17-Jun-23 at 7pm NDL
Fortythirtyeight replied to eide67's topic in National League Speedway
Upto the club who they put where. Parker is a sacrificial lamb in this scenario and he knows it, very much in at the deep end but he will give it a go. Lyden coming back from ‘injury’ might be suspect but Booth is not ready for NDL either so be interesting as to who stops on and picks up some points. Championship riders up against second halfers/ amateurs , not a good idea but what choice is there ? -
Phil Morris CEO of British Speedway.
Fortythirtyeight replied to rearingtogo's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Absolute rubbish, it is NOT part of the start procedure. The ref can put on the 2 minutes whenever he deems fit, yes, the track will be clear and he will speak to the clerk of the course ( not the Marshall ) but it’s his way of hurrying things along, simple as that. You can have 3 riders already at the start and the ref puts the 2 minutes on to hurry up the fourth rider who may have two on the trot or, as a few riders are, slow getting their act together. -
as I said….when his average drops to 3 !
-
You get an average!…..like Boughen did .
-
and wrong again….you can’t name an A.R. with an average above 3 or/ and is named in any teams declared 1-7. So until Simpson’s average is below 3 he can’t be anybody’s A.R.
-
Don’t be silly , that would mean you’re having an eight rider team ! You can only declare an A.R. IF R/R is being used and even then you don’t have too, although silly if you don’t.

Ladies British Speedway Championship.
Fortythirtyeight replied to Fortythirtyeight's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Because they organised it , invited just the ones that lived near the hosting tracks and brought in a GP rider to compete against a second halfer , a fun rider and a novice. Not that the SCB knew the standard of two of them as they ( he ) had never seen them ride but just checked they had a race licence. The ladies, all of them, deserved better. Wonder how many will be at Redcar for the final round ?…..enough to fill a race ? -

But only 3 turned up at Edinburgh and 2 at Workington so still a farce. -
Ladies British Speedway Championship.
Fortythirtyeight replied to Fortythirtyeight's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I feel sorry for the two ladies who gave it their full commitment. Poor show from the SCB for not getting a larger field, yes there are more lady riders out there, and putting a GP experienced rider in this ‘field’ was a joke. -
Monarchs Academy vs Oxford Chargers - Fri 2nd June

I worked it out because it was a childish comment. Yes, his heart wasn’t in it but you, being silly, have suggested it was ‘ revenge ‘, a very, very childish comment. -

The Redcar fans didn’t, just a couple of the usual key board warriors did. Every club has them, unfortunately. -

Kent Royals license revoked!
Fortythirtyeight replied to flipper11's topic in National League Speedway
Nora events are ‘ flatrack ‘ events or ‘ ‘ Dirtrack ‘ , ( 2 different companies but both run under Nora rules ) but the last one that was to be held at Scunthorpe was cancelled as the company didn’t think the track surface was suitable for their event which was to include sidecars and quad bikes. These events are not solely ‘ speedway ‘ but have included 125 , 160 adult and 250cc speedway races. These same events have been held at both Kings Lynn and Redcar and possibly one or two other tracks ? Iwade ? Sittingbourne ? Richard has also run his own flat track events, not sure if the SCB licence those , presumably they are run under ACU regulations.
