I was happy about my decision not to go as early as heat 2 when I saw the crash come up on Speedway Updates. Then I saw the BSN clip of the race on YouTube and was relieved, because I don't think I could have held my tongue at Rushen's deliberate act of idiocy. As for the late start, I obviously wasn't there but I'm fine with that kind of thing. Nobody sets out to arrive late, and as long as it's within a reasonable amount of time - 30 minutes is fine - it's best to have everybody who wants to see the meeting in through the gates. Those people who miss the first few races might not come back again. This Foxes team is rotten. we're now officially 25% of the way through the season and only the reserves can hold their heads up. Klindt is a disgrace and should be replaced by Kerr today, with Batchelor also shown the door in favour of someone on a similar average who might improve (or at least will provide some entertainment). They say "if you build it, they will come," but what they don't add is "if you build it on shaky foundations, it will fall down." That said, I'll be there on the 21st...

Would he want to?

Sorry for your loss. Had a few run ins with him on here but at least he was no snowflake running off to the admins and mods every five minutes. Hope he gets a good send off. 

Disappointing to see no victory parade for the Stars, very nice of the KL riders to come out and talk to us all after the meeting!

I criticised it at the time, but just saw BSN’s highlight of it on social media and Staechmann is spot on; he makes a mistake, looks at Harrison and turns left coming off the fourth bend. A shocking move. Hate this part of modern day speedway; young riders are all over the place. Killeen is the same and cost Dan Thompson a large portion of last season because he couldn’t control his bike. The British U21 final ending with three of finalists crashing as they crossed the line sums it up for me. Best wishes and regards to Harrison and Scott because through no fault of their own, they needed medical attention and their evening was over. It’s such a dangerous sport as it is. Things like this are so unnecessary.
