Just average and the track is better than the old one. Sorry to hear your news, hope you’re feeling more comfortable soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a slight difference in the spelling of Kurtz it seems . Up North it's Kertz and down South it's Curtz. They are both from Australia but it's a big place you know. It's all in the pronunciation. Edited May 8, 2019 by waytogo28 additional point made 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted May 8, 2019 They do have very similar hairstyles, which is a little confusing. But that is likely down to DNA factors ( if we are still allowed to say such things ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He just hates Swindon, strange that as he used to live here. Perhaps the Penhill air didn't suit him! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just average and the track is better than the old one. Shows how low the bar is set now when people think last nights meeting was " not bad " .2 exciting laps of speedway in 15 heats , unfortunately the only decent race of the night was curtailed after 2 laps , with 3 passes in 2 laps the referee somehow see's that as a guaranteed 5-1 and calls it as a result. Ridiculous. The numerous full starts and mechanical issues made the league look amateur. Felt sorry for the fans who didn't have the comfort of the remote control beside them. Positive things have been said about the new Swindon track but on a good night for weather and with the TV cameras there it failed to deliver, and I can't think of a valid excuse why. Riders strung out like washing , you could fill your program in after 1 lap with some riders the length of the straight clear. All this thrown in with the commentary from Planet Pearson where everything is always great. Viewers watching this weeks meeting will not be surprised that the sport is struggling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
