racers and royals

I think we both know that that rule is a "speedway rule " and that long-track is adequately covered by the rule I have quoted

I would like to thank David for taking the time and trouble to put his point of view across. Putting aside the riders viewpoint for one minute-we are talking about the long track qualification series here -and I`m pretty sure that facilities have not been granted for riders missing the 2 qualifaction rounds leading up to this challenge final-yet suddenly we have facilities granted for the challenge-this is not the recognised "long track championships" which are run over 5 rounds-which David is taking part in.

Thank you David for your answer-did anyone ask the FIM if you could sign in late ie slightly after the 12 noon deadline-as the 07.30am BA flight out of Heathrow with a fast car would get you there probably at 12.30pm. ??

Please do tell why it`s not illegal-preferably quoting the rule as well.

Sorry Rob but it`s not the end of the story-It`s an illegal guest-the rule book says so-If Howe was in the 1 to 5 I bet Scunthorpe would have been happy to accept the rules. the BSPA cannot make up rules as they go along-If the SCB had any balls they would NOT accept this illegal line-up for this match and tell Scunthorpe in good time to get a NL guest in.

Thanks I will await his reply with interest-I thought he must have been a farmer with all the bull sh*t in his original answer

If that is the best you can come up with MR G-sorry Montie then it`s a pretty poor show. I have checked the SCB rule ammendments to this years reg`s and cannot find this amendment 16.5.1 H disregard this rule if any longtrack meeting is brought forward 24 hours. Can you point us in the direction please. Irrespective of when the meeting was or is-the Scunthorpe meeting is Friday-the Long-track meeting Saturday-therefore I repeat No facility. Edit further information 1 Meeting date was changed 30th June 2 Howe qualified for the meeting on 5th July So the re-arranged meeting point is a red-herring as Howe wasn`t even in the meeting when it was re-arranged.

Maybe you can tell us all-another Scunthorpe illegal long-track guest ??-they got away with one a few years ago by blaming the BSPA office for saying it would be ok. Some facts 1 David Howe is listed as competing in the Czech meeting.Therefore 2 He is withholding his services and has been suspended for a period ? A guest would be appropriate in this case. 3 Rule 16.5.1 H covers facilities for Longtrack - and I quote "Facility for FIM longtrack championship duty(for the day of the meeting only) no facility is permitted for practice day." We know that the FIM longtrack championship is run over 5 rounds through the season-this meeting is the challenge final to get into next years series-so I`m not sure that even counts as the "championship"-that's irrelevant in this case as the Longtrack meeting is on Saturday(practice is on Saturday as well in this case )so as per the rules there is certainly NO facility available for a rider missing a meeting on Friday-unless he has been suspended.

Howe I am assuming is in the Czech Republic for the final of the longtrack challenge at Marianske Lazne-unfortunately for Scunthorpe the meeting is on Saturday and therefore they can not have a facility on Friday so have to use a national league guest.

Next action is the 2nd round of the Danish final from Fjelsted on Friday 8th August start time 4.30 pm uk time. http://kanalsport.dk/ The field for this 2nd round-courtesy of Holsted speedway website is 1.Niels Kr.

30 mins video of Landshut v Wolfslake on 1st August http://speedway.tv/6767/ac-landshut-devils-wolfslake-falubaz-berlin-01082014

Smolinski isn`t riding -do you want to change bet-if you don`t that part will be void.

Sad to see Antonio Lindback`s performance yesterday 0 from 4 rides-seemed to be ok in Poland on Sunday in the televised match.

About 5k I would guess

Just updated for next week as well-Happy days !!!

Why don`t you sit down,have a cup of tea-don`t forget the blanket over the legs-and it might come back to you.

Good question-as I didn`t state legal one must assume illegal-however the div 1 match at 1pm on Sunday`s is always available through the official TVP website stream-the following 2 Extraleague matches are a different kettle of fish however-although with no British broadcaster showing them and no legal way of obtaining a Nc+ viewing card and system-I have come to the opinion that by watching I`m not doing anyone out of money(some might think differently) by the way I did buy the Polish play-off stream from Speedway.tv last season.

Greg Hancock not to happy at the way Adrian Miedzinski "breezed" past him to win in Torun-saying afterwards that of course there was no engine testing that night !
