  1. Not sure about now Mick but in the late 90s we did use yellow methanol - it was brought in to stop cheating with fuel.

    But that's why only the top six 'qualify'
  3. They've forgotten or never learnt how to ride a track with shale on it
  4. Each to their own, Doyle in heat 10 or 11 when beating Lambert was right on the edge, as fast as he could go, super gutsy & great to watch.
  5. I wonder if any of the keyboard warriors on here were actually trackside? Nothing wrong with it at all, just need Skill to ride it fast. Hume falls on the track all the time as he doesn't get off the seat, very similar to how Jake Allen used to ride it. Others showed how it could be done, one of Doyle's best meetings for the Witches, him and Emil a class above, riding together for those 2 5-1s. Messrs LorM and Gollob would loved that tonight. The 2k crowd left the track in great spirits.

    It is, Prague sorted, Teterow sorted, Riga sorted.

    I take the opposite view, I was bored stiff with the same riders all the time.

    It's not meant to be. It's a serious which needs to sell, attracting not only fans from many nations but also the venues. I think it mixed it up and so much better than just picking the 3/4 riders below from the top 6. Dude & Janowski have had enough chances.
  9. Couldn't disagree more, I think their burgers and chips are delicious! Have you ever had anything from King's Lynn, Peterborough or Belle Vue?
  10. No choice, Foxhall for me, football is pony.

    I know what you're saying but wildcards are definitely selected based on ticket sales/geography and I'm sure the organisers are really pleased Vaculik has made the top six this time so that he didn't need yet another wild card Also, federations are allocated places in the qualifiers for the GP challenge route so geography is a part of that as well.
  12. As much as they ever are based on a changing forecast! I'm about 5 mins drive from the track and no rain here yet - if TV weren't in town I'm sure they'd have left the decision until today.

    All seems a bit ridiculous, almost as if they're protecting the other GP riders from them! Happy for them to earn money and race in Poland but not internationally when other sports allow them e.g. Tennis. It's also denying the paying fans the chance to see true World Champ events. I'm sure that Russians not being able to compete in FIM events will really twist the arm of Putin to stop the war....
  14. I don't see why it matters though, surely the idea of an average is to have an average score for that rider, as long as it's for the same standard of meeting I cannot fathom why cup or play-off meetings are excluded.
  15. If Glasgow gets called off again - there is rain forecast during the day, then Harris can guest again. Have the line-ups been confirmed yet?

    Great news if true and shows their ambition.

    And this is also true of the GPs.
  18. No, I think it's getting to heat four and then having to come back again to show the re-staging, costs 5 figures
  19. I suspect the TV company have had something to say, last thing they'll want is a rain off
  20. Great news if it's on Tuesday, for so many reasons
  21. Not sure why others predict a 10 point plus Ipswich win - but then I don't have a great record . Lambert and Harris should get 23 between them and Sheffield have the better reserves, should be good for 12 between them, which leaves holder, howarth & pickering to get 12 between them for a four point win.
  22. Looks like there may be a bit of light rain tomorrow night but I'll predict Ips 43 She 47.

    Ipswich 2023

    Think those reserves would get smashed, Joe T no thanks and Boughen is nowhere near Premiership, struggles to get a point in the championship.
  24. Lambert doesn't, unless guest booking count?
