Happy to criticise and question everything about speedway tho when you have no vested interest. Plum. 

Thanks for the abusive comment, I have a £16.50 to £20 interest in every match I pay to see.

This sport really does have the fans it deserves!

Yes I did. Classing that as abusive then?

Why so early though? This sets a dangerous precedent imo

Not really. Buster and his infamous fuse cornered that market well over a decade ago...

I think you will

find it’s more about him reportedly using the Gerhaart engine which doesn’t seem competitive 

He used a GM for his first two races; did he use the Gerhard for the last two? I didn't notice. His first last place, though, was due to one of the Kent riders fencing him.

I just put it down to being a typical Brummies number 1. I'm sure it's jinxed, Harris rode better at number 5 than at number 1, Riss vice versa.

Would anyone have the full heat times for this meeting? They're not all on the updates site. Thanks in advance.

I don’t have the second-half times, but for the main fixture:

1) 60.03

2) 60.90

3) 60.28

4) 59.75 (Harris, fastest of the night)

5) 59.87

6) 59.85

7) 60.18

8) 61.10

9) 61.10 (this caused some hilarity, “forgot to reset the timer,” etc)

10) 60.28

11) 59.93

12) 61.00

13) 59.94

14) 61.32

15) 60.28

Hope that helps.

Ht 10 Starke or Heeps took him right out to the fence, when he rode across the centre green on lap 4, back to the pits I thought it was going to be a case of handbags at dawn !
