Maybe it would be a good idea for Jayne or Richard to get in touch with someone like Doc Bridgett and get him to have a good look at the track. Perhaps get him to completely re-lay it. Ask him for advice. What quarries does he recommend to get shale from? How long should it be stored for before laying it? Are there any other materials that would help it bind better? Show him what plant you've got. Is there a wonder wheel, a spike harrow and a blade? I'm no expert on track prep, but these are the kind of questions that would help. The Buxton track must be one of the most difficult tracks to keep in good condition with it being so high up. The last two winters have been really bad. I wonder if the amount snow and ice they've had has made the base deteriorate? It's certainly had an effect on the roads with cracks and holes appearing.

British Final & Semi-finals
Peter replied to gypilgrim's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
The Scunthorpe meeting is the last one of a little tour I'm doing. I've never been there before although I've seen it on TV and it looks one of the best race tracks around. -
The problem with internet polls is they can easily be rigged through a bit of computer know how, going on different machines at a library or getting a load of friends on facebook to vote. Reading through the different threads on here about this sad state of affairs, it seems to me that the number of people who simply want this matter to be solved without it going to court far outweighs those who do. In cases like this, the minority want to make themselves heard over the majority and are a lot more likely to vote which skews the numbers somewhat. If every forum member voted once you would get much more accurate figures.

A few times in the past, the season has run into November. Can't the meeting at Newport be held next week?

2010 Grand Prix Competition
Peter replied to ballinger's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
In my opinion, it would be fairer if you said something like "You may bring in riders that exceed the old value, provided it is within the £190,000 limit". The reason I say this is because some people have only spent £175,000. There is £15,000 in the bank that they can't spend. The total value of the riders I would like to bring in for the second period comes to £180,000, but it would mean me losing £10,000 in the final transfer window. What do other people think? -
2010 Grand Prix Competition
Peter replied to ballinger's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Nicki Pedersen as my captain please. If the competition carries on next year, maybe a rule could be introduced whereby injured riders are replaced by whoever is next in line (in Emil's case it would be Piotr Protasiewicz). -

British U15 Championship 2009
Peter replied to PhilK's topic in Youth Speedway and Development Leagues
What's going on with the British U15 championship? There was only 5 riders in the 500cc class and 6 in the 250cc class at Northside. Aren't the kids interested any more? Something needs to be done. It's supposed to be a national championship with 16 riders in each class. -
Which Brit Should Get A Wild Card?
Peter replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I wouldn't have a British wildcard. None of them are good enough. Tai will be in a year or two though. If the top 8 stays as it is (Crump, Sayfutdinov, Gollob, Hancock, Jonsson, Bjerre, Lindgren and Pedersen), I would have Hans Andersen, Matej Zagar, Niels-Kristian Iversen and Antonio Lindback as the four permanent wildcards. I know Swindon fans will probably disagree with me leaving Leigh Adams out but he has had his time. The Grand Prix needs younger riders and the four I've mentioned are exciting to watch. -

Charlie said on here Twitter page that they couldn't find a flight in time. Maybe they should have tagged along with Chris Holder. He managed to make it back. -

The problem with Ermolenko is that his mouth is ahead of his brain. It could have been worse tonight though. He could have been commentating!
