Well, this strategy has worked for the Brummies all season! -

Wolves V Birmingham Play Off Semi 1st Leg - 23rd September
*JJ replied to Irk Deflector's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Actually, they tend not to crack under pressure. See last night's match, or the last Peterborough match! -
Just input 'Speedway bikes' in ebay. Plenty of them! Track shops also sell them.

As when someone stabbed him at a party! -
Rider Size, How Much Does It Matter?
*JJ replied to manchesterpaul's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
He was actually six foot four, a powerful broad-shouldered athlete. He must have been quite heavy. He is exactly the same age as me, nearly 69 now -
Is Peterborough a 'big' club?
-
Wolverhampton and Birmingham, of course!

You can go into the pits between 6 and 7 pm, but when the bikes start warming up, the spectators are aked to leave (it's noisy!). The riders are usually available walking back from the gate to the changing rooms after a match. They don't have the time to go to the bar like they used to. If you had seen Ben Barker last night, you wouldn't post such abject nonsense!

At what time?

You still can - certainly, I saw some at Perry Barr the other day. They are also available via Ebay. -
British Final 13th May 2013
*JJ replied to mdmc82's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
By the way he rode last Wednesday, Danny King is better than the last three. -
British Youth Round 1 @ Leicester Speedway Saturday 4th May 5.30pm
*JJ replied to wizzer's topic in Youth Speedway and Development Leagues
Agreed - I really enjoyed the meeting. With young riders like Tom Brennan around (he made the most fantastic overtake I have seen these 60 years!) the future of British speedway should be good, if only they were helped and encouraged. -
Coventry Open Practice Sun March 24th ---off Due To Weather . Next One Sun 21st April
*JJ replied to Main Man's topic in Training Tracks / Amateur
Indeed. Two points, though; first, the queue kept retreating back until it was in the pits. Couldn't someone get the riders to move up? Second, couldn't you have told us that there was going to be a lunch break? Otherwise, my protege had a mixed day; two very good rides in which he slid the bike well, one where his steel shoe came off (we laughed as he kicked it across the centre gravel), a visit to the air fence and the chain coming off! Thanks for the session. -
Ellesmere Port Stadium Reopened This Month!
*JJ replied to 25yearfan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Isn't that a motorway alongside it? -
Belle Vues National Speedway Stadium
*JJ replied to Phil The Ace's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
David Hemsley told me that he wanted fast speedway; that is why the Leicester track had long straights. Of course, he should have copied some of the best tracks, like Somerset or Scunthorpe, and made them 10% larger! The track has now been modified and is excellent. If the new BV is as good as the Leicesterstadium, it will be good. -
Ben Barker In Trouble With The Police
*JJ replied to madame muck's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Well, he won two races against the Bugs recently. Mind you, that wasn't too difficult -
Cant Bspa Organize Woman Speedway Race?
*JJ replied to coban78's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I have seen three girls taking part in practice sessions at Leicester recently, but they can't slide the bike. -
The track was a bit wet but with some work it became quite rideable.

Ben Barker for Birmingham.
-
It's expensive enough. I am helping a young man who wants to be a speedway rider. He spent a couple of years saving up for a bike with a 140cc engine (£400) then for a trailer, which is all he can manage. At this point I said that my car has a towing hitch, so I have been taking him up to Scunthorpe to practice (when the weather is OK!). I am a pensioner; not everybody has a rich father.
-
What, both at once?
-
Thanks, Glyn; it's not me, of course, but a friend of mine who has a 250cc bike. Are these OK?
-
As it was in Scunthorpe ... can I ask again, are there going to be regular practice days at Leicester?
