auntie doris 2,342 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) One Swindon fan on facebook said he was shouting and crying after heat 15. Such a shame Swindon closed, used to be some great racing between the Knobs and Moonrakers. How speedway has gone downhill in recent years, sad to see, after the glory days of the 60s, 70s, 80s. In 1979 Blunsdon held 37 meetings, 7 individual meetings!!! Edited May 11, 2023 by auntie doris 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smith obviously rates himself, I guess you have to be positive as a rider, but when he comments he can win races in the Champ & Prem, while looking for a team spot, I think he's over estimating his ability Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally refs aren't allowed to watch replay of a stream for league meetings as not every club provides it but not sure if it is different in a challenge meeting. Did Newman have both wheels over the white line 1st bend opening lap?

Looked like back wheel was close to the white line or on it to me. Though they prob not going to be overly picky in a challenge meeting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted May 22, 2023 This is the race when Sam Hagon was a bit unlucky not to get his first race win at Poole.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,043 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Very impressive ride by Hagon. Must be the next best 2.00 rider waiting for a Championship chance? Edited May 22, 2023 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
