    Averages And 3 Pointers Etc?

    And further to my original question then, I'm assuming NT matches don't count - or do they? When is the first date for the first changes to come into effect?

  4. Fantastic stadium for speedway, but I'm sorry the track is awful in shape and surface. Can't understand the thinking behind shutting off access to the 3rd and 4th bends-can anyone from the management enlighten? I know the surface needs to settle down, but it is plainly obvious that there is no real base-a thin layer of chalk and loose shale on top isn't ever going to produce a surface conjusive to decent racing. I really hope that they do something with it, but I can't see how they can now the season has started. To be fair, making a new track in the timescale and the awful weather hasn't helped. The track is also too narrow going into and out of the corners. They need to bring it in about 2-3 yards on the entrance and exit of the corners. It wouldn't be such an issue if the corners were wider and there was some banking on the corners, but there isn't any. Edit.. Who posted on here about Boxall not being on it, must be watching someone else-he is by far one talented lad and could easily be riding at a higher level. And the decision by the ref to exclude Kirby (I think it was) in Heat 14 is one of the most laughable decisions I have seen in a long while!!
  5. Does anyone have a number for DLG? The number I have just rings and rings! I'm told they are still going, but if anyone has any info to the contrary, would be appreciated. Thanks Rob C
  6. This series is the best thing to happen to British Speedway in a long time. It gives young British riders a platform to progress in the sport with competitive racing. In 5 years time I think we will start to see the fruit from the hard work put in by the likes of Neil Vatcher and Phil Morris with a fair few lads coming through to the professional side of the sport.

    Use Of Titanium

    Trick was way ahead of the game with innovation, but Straight rear ends have been around for ages (look at old Rudge and Japs) just another someone good uses it, the sheep will follow! I have got 12 year olds wanting to buy Blixt carbs off me because that's what Chris Holder uses etc and they can't ride a bike properly yet! As for WSB and Moto GP being the way to go-was talking to an ex decent ish rider who told me he retired as to get to the next level in BSB he would need to find an extra million!!
