The White Knight

Run the Grand Prix Series as it is with it's 'selected' Riders. Winner = Speedway Grand Prix Champion. Run a Championship for everyone else through Qualifiers etc. Winner = World Champion. Simple!!!

Great to see the super article on Jim Wells in the BackTrack Magazine. Thanks again Martin Neal for a first class piece. A lot of old British League Division Two Supporters will appreciate articles like this. Come on Tony - let's have more of the same.

Oooops!!! Sorry Tsunami. Still meant every word of my Post though.

Hello Stavvy - we meet again. My comments regarding Penhall were just my opinion of his awful Column in BackTrack. His Articles are not very good as far as I am concerned. I don't like to see a Rider like Penhall being lionised on here, because, Bruce Penhall was very much a flawed diamond. There were rumours of drugs, fixed Races, the way he left the Sport in such disgraceful circumstances all of which is unacceptable to me. Now he is back writing Articles about the Sport he treated so shamefully. Rod Haynes however did not have this sort of reputation. He wrote of the 'good old days' and HIS pieces were incisive and interesting. He is sadly missed - by me anyway. As a scribe he was a far better read than Mr. Penhall will ever be.

At last - someone who agrees with me on this. Bring back Rod Haynes to BackTrack.

Absolute disgrace. It should have been Mark Lemon.

The only reason Ashworth would be in the Meeting would be to put numbers on the Gate. If he gets in it would be a travesty of justice. Mark Lemon should get the nod - and - that is from a Redcar 'Bears' Supporter.

Don't know when!! This IS SPeedway after all. I just hope that the BSPA make a better job of the Programme than they did in the 'Pairs'. Far too many mistakes.

Were they fooling about doing 'Wheelies' making it blatently obvious they were not trying - I don't think so.

I have to say that Penhall was never the same to me after that 'Fixed Race' with the Americans. Can't understand why BackTrack dropped Rod Haynes who's Articles were always a good read, for an American who deserted the Sport at the moment of triumph AND was known to have FIXED Races. That raises a bit of a morality problem for me. Sorry Tony - but - that's how I feel. I still love the Magazine though - apart from the ramblings of the infamous Penhall.

You could ask BP whether he regrets his decision to walk away the way he did - and - due to his singular lack of success as an Actor why he did not return to Speedway. Just asking the question - not to be contraversial but I really would like to know the answer.

Just heard from a certain ********* Bookmaker that Gary Havelock has won the PLRC 2010. Get your money on him.

Totally agree Halifaxtiger. Your dead right.

Obviously he is daft as a 'brush' ML.
