I thought the medics were concerned about his neck, not concussion. But we'll know pretty soon.....

The only place I've come across any reference to Lightcap being concussed was on the Edinburgh Vs Poole thread, so not definitive.

I'm going for a draw tonight, and a 30 point home win in the return leg

The CC is worked out on bore and stroke, even if you sleeve down the inlet manifold the bike will still be a 500cc albeit with less power, you would need to sleeve the cylinder bore and fit a smaller piston to produce a 250cc engine, much like Matchless did in the day, the 350 Matchless and 500 matchless single had the same stroke, but the 350cc had a 69mm piston and the 500cc had a 82.5mm piston

Hopefully Ipswich have the good sense to prepare a nice grippy track to catch out the throttle jockeys

I'n looking for heat details of this competition which was held during the second half of the Anglia Junior League v Scottish Junior League representative match. It consisted of 2 qualifying heats, 4 main heats and a final. The 1981 Yearbook records the winner as David Blackburn from Steve Bryenton, Steve Payne and Chris Hunt. Any help appreciated.

Cierniak broken arm

Gdansk promoted to Extraleague 2 - won the 2nd leg yesterday 54-36

Just waiting on news whether Lindgren is fit to ride or Kvech takes his place. Holder won’t ride so Thomsen in again.

Agreed. Howarth’s contribution in the play-offs was outstanding. The two 5-1s in heats 13 and 15 to steal it from Edinburgh in the semi-final, then his pass of Zach Cook - who he absolutely bullied - and beating of Lawson in the final at Ashfield were massive. I really rate Dan Thompson, but being passed by Lewi Kerr in heat 12 of the final was an absolute killer. Retaining Hodder was even more of a no brainer, unless we were planning on binning both reserves.

Its through an insert in the carb and inlet manifold to reduce the fuel flow from 34mm down to about 28 or there abouts it is becoming a class in the uk next year

Pleased the Comets will run in 27 I'll try and resurrect my Workington Football/Speedway double header so hopefully no clash of start times next season

Not officially. Neither Poole or Redcar have done a preview yet.

When Lightcap was withdrawn on Friday it was announced as a hand injury & concussion - is there any update on this from Poole?

In Poland apparently they use R500 engines that are restricted to 250cc to save costs as the engine is then unrestricted and used as a 500cc. Can anyone elaborate on this and how specifically the engines are restricted?

You would have 17 riders per meeting LOL 3 Wildcards only with a possibility of a 4th if the SEC champion is already qualified via GP top 7 or Challenge top 4.

Done.

Wonder if belle Vue management have looked into some form of official link up or advertising?

Poor KJP is yet to record a race win at Foxhall, so definitely advantage BV at reserve

Anders Rowe has been riding for Wroclaw this year! 😉😆

No. Never warmed to him anyway, let someone else take the risk if rides in the UK again.

Dunno if we will but I’d have him back in the engine room in a heartbeat

I wouldn't, in my opinion only Musielak and Brennan is a match up that could go either way, the rest are not equal. Massive difference at reserve with Tate head and shoulders above the Ipswich reserves. Of course anything can happen on the night and hopefully Ipswich can pull off a win to keep their fans happy.

So almost a full season these days 😆
