Excellent speedway meeting... Didn't need the 5 and 6 man races for me, you don't need the gimmicks when the speedway racing is so good

Agreed - I never understood the attraction of the 16 lapper with 8 riders at Ipswich. 
Was there ever actually a final when all 8 riders finished I wonder as most videos seem to show fallers and re-runs?

 

The 16 lapper at Ipswich has been my favourite meeting bar none. Each to their own of course.

Really impressed with tonight and with the other two streamed meetings.  I would like to thank all at BV for having the courage and commitment to do something different.   Can't wait for next year and being able to see it live again.

I think you are recalling the World Pairs which used 6 rider races for a few years until 1990 when there was a serious injury to Piotr Swist in a semi and another major crash in the final.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_Speedway_World_Pairs_Championship#:~:text=The 1990 Speedway World Pairs,and the less fancied Australia.

Thing is, six riders in a race is not a huge problem for most riders - certainly not those who ride in the Czech Golden Helmet and certain other events on the continent.

As you say, it only became an issue with the the World Pairs, and that's because riders were looking for their team-mates. THAT was the problem...

Most enjoyable meeting.

A novel ending with the 5 and 6 man race... perfectly safe around the NSS.

Cudos to Jason Doyle for making it 3 wins on the trot...

Magnificent effort from the management to put 4 meetings on in this Covid ravaged season.

Great meeting.

Well done to Belle Vue again.

Doyley a worthy winner.

Good to see Sam riding in UK meet.

After the fiasco in Lublin and the frustrating disappointment at Berwick, my goodness I needed that!

Superb end to an awful year. Thank you Belle Vue and everyone who made this excellent finale happen.

And if there is to be a 2021 domestic UK league, I hope it will be possible to watch NSS matches on Live Stream ( How about a season ticket? I hope it's under consideration )

Looking at that side on view, look at how far some are away from the tapes, thus allowing movement before the tapes are raised.

I like it in Poland - NO MOVEMENT or out!

That is one big notable difference in Poland,the starting procedure is a lot more rigid, 2min clock,no lining up at an angle, disobey the start marshal at your peril !!. How it should be over here.
