And those that didn't go because of the supposedly poor conditions missed a quite entertaining meeting. (Unless of course, they bought the stream instead). Conditions at the racetrack were so bad that it meant that they had to water the track during the meeting!

Ooops! " I can't thank the team at ScorpionsTV....." Perhaps a word or two missing?

Perhaps the Referee did not have access to the TV footage?

At the Leicester P&P the riders were advised not to ride the inside line on the bends, and they all heeded that advice. You don't get that option when there are 4 riders on the track.

NO APPEAL FROM BRANDON ESTATES! As posted by the SCS group. WE have now received official confirmation that stadium owners Brandon Estates have not chosen to pursue a High Court challenge to the outcome of the recent planning inquiry. The appeal against the refusal of planning permission, arising from the November 2022 Planning Committee decision at Rugby Borough Council, was dismissed by inspector Helen Hockenhull in mid-January, after evidence from all parties had been heard last autumn. The remaining option available to the appellants would have been a Judicial Review based on a legal challenge (rather than a challenge to the decision itself). We understand speedway and stock car fans, and local residents, have been eager to know what might happen next, and there has been plenty of speculation; however, we had to wait for a six-week period to expire, which was the window in which the High Court challenge could be submitted. Recent correspondence with the Planning Inspectorate has confirmed there has been no challenge. We are naturally delighted that this marks the end of this particular part of the process, and also that our approach to each stage has been vindicated. We must once again place on record our thanks to everyone from the sporting and local community who stepped up in such spectacular numbers last summer to assist us with the cost of legal representation. Anyone who watched the planning inquiry, and will therefore now understand the way it was conducted, will have seen how being represented in this manner was crucial to our chances of success. Likewise to our witnesses and those who spoke in support of the stadium at the inquiry, your honesty and passion shone through under difficult scrutiny, and it is sincerely appreciated. There is now much for us to consider as a Campaign Group, doubtless with further meetings to be arranged over the coming weeks. At this stage it is too early to give any clear indication over what is to follow, or any timescales, other than to say that at every stage of the planning application we have worked through potential scenarios and considered our strategy under every likely circumstance. We thank everyone for their support – it has been hugely appreciated, and never more so than during the time of the Appeal – and can assure you that with this huge hurdle cleared, we retain an unstinting commitment to get speedway and stock car racing back to their rightful place at Brandon Stadium, and finally bring this saga to an end for the benefit of both the sports and the local community.

But if they go up to the PL it is only 2.71.

Transponders bring little to domestic Speedway at the moment. I would have thought that they would have put more emphasis on rev limiters which could save engine wear and therefore maintenance costs.

I beg to differ. The old rule was that a rider had to be on track and making his way towards the tapes.

Oh yes it does!

A very likeable character who partnered Ron Mountford in a Garage in Bloxwich. If my memory serves me right I recall that he had a troublesome shoulder injury that hampered his progress. Didn't he dislocate it one time in a fall at Coventry and put it back in place by running into a wall? (Or something like that?)

I thought the situation was that Sandhu had been 'forced' to sell as a Bank had called in a loan/mortgage on the site?

My AVG Spotted an 'infection'!

I think that all that talk of Star Sign defining how people think, live, act etc. is just a load of baloney. But then again, that is typical of us Capricorns.

Bad news for those of us who usually book the University rooms. They are no longer offering the rooms.

Having seen the progress Ashton has made through 2023, I would personally not be disappointed to see him as a RS.
