False dawn

According to the BSPL site Dan got 21 paid 24 (from 10 rides). He must be cream crackered. It was especially good seeing as how he seems to have got a 5-1 all on his own in heat 12. Edit: They've corrected the error now (maybe we're read, more than we think!)

I just think there are a lot of uncertain factors at play in this match. The weather (a constant factor at present), PP, new to the scene, Leicester smarting from a couple of recent defeats, Scotty who performed well in his recent spell with the Brummies and, and, and...... Throw into the mix the referee. The last time he presided over a Leicester match, he got a one match suspension. I hope the weather don't win. I wouldn't miss this one for anything.

Which one? The way things are the only stream we're going to get will be the one running down the the track

Either

RIP Tiger. Thanks for the memories.

Any local weather would be appreciated. Every other club (yesterday and today) have called off their meetings. Just hope Ipswich haven't got their rise tinted glasses on.

On the contrary. He's been promoted. The new averages that come into force tomorrow put Zach into the top 5 and Scot in the reserve berth.

I do think Dan T could be a key player. He is riding the tide at the moment.

Nah. He don't like the place. He only set a new track record in his first ever race there.

The interesting point in the official referee's scorecard is that neither rider was disqualified in heat 2. They were just registered as having fallen.

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.

I think it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. The track was clearly well packed with little loose shale. Standard practice when the weather is wet and unpredictable. Put more shale on and it rains and it quickly turns into a quagmire.

That is correct. I hate to bang on about my own favourite gripe, but the only chance of dealing with "uneven" gates during a meeting is men with rakes.

Big surprise.

And maybe we'd forego the clubhouse, eh?

Bomber is the guest at the Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club meeting tomorrow, Tuesday 20th February. Brandon Club, starting at 8pm. Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW

Bomber said tonight that did 105 meetings last year. That's some schedule

I was waiting for that one. But seriously. You have to admire the bloke. He was riding for the Rest of the World on Saturday, in California. For anyone just thinking of going tonight, you should. These meetings are always interesting. The Q&A session in particular.

When Phil Morris was the guest at the Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club recently, he did say that transponders would be in use this year.

Gary Moon was a brief but respected acquaintance of mine. He was a classy and successful driver. In return for a favour, concerning the loan of equipment from a driver I passengered for, he spannered for that driver and me at Birmingham speedway. I have rarely felt so humble. His passing was a real tragedy.

He certainly made an "initial" impact.

I fully agree with all your comments. Two confident and professional youngsters, without being cocky. For the record the evening with Bomber is on Tuesday 20th February at 8:00 p.m. The venue is Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk/

A dress rehearsal? Are the promoters going to "adjust" the Championship points limit to allow Workington to sign Freddie for their final team spot? I'll get my coat.

I'd have had Stan in my team but I don't fancy your chances with Olly.
