One of the key plusses for watching Speedway at the NSS is the fact that the Aces do, so many times, get out gated by their rivals.... And then use their set ups to reel in their opponents. Set ups based on the home advantage every team has... The challenge for the Aces lies away from home where such starting costs them greatly, given the much less opportunity to pass that most other tracks offer.. Sheffield last night was fast, with the riders riding out wide on the one dirt line, which in itself is exciting to see, however, from a TV perspective it looked very much like follow the leader with lots of races having four riders equidistant apart riding over the same part of the track... A track with bends just too narrow, and too slick, for the straight line speeds generated, which negates passing opportunities... The NSS also provides grip on the inside up against the kerb for pretty much most of the meeting which provides another passing opportunity that many other tracks seem to struggle to provide...  

I wish Zach could bring his BV form to Poole, he got passed by Zische and Vuolas at Workington.

is everything okay at Sheffield?....seemed like there was something amiss in terms of team spirit etc?

Sorry, but I think that one is taken.....I saw a dinghy with 64 people on it pulling up for a viewing this morning!

Very entertaining meeting with passing in thirteen heats and not just The Aces as several heats had passing & repassing. Had the scores been called a bend three lap one as is the case with speedway these days, we would have lost 37-53. Thankfully, for me anyway, the races produced my kind of speedway, not to everyone’s liking I understand but just brilliant in my eyes. Heat 15, Brady out Fricked, Fricke - wonderful.  Sadly our injury jinx put paid to the bonus but I still feel we’ll remain above Kings Lynn in the qualifiers. 

Probably lost count. Bit like Clint Eastwood who wasnt sure how many bullets he had fired!!
