id love to see adam ride at his best again as he was so good to watch but i agree for the lad to walk away without more injuries would be great i can remember a piece in i think it was the sun newspaper listing all his injuries and it was sickening but hes had a few bad ones since then aswell hope adam can find something to keep him happy and provide a good income for his family

not sure what jims problems are you always know your in for a few restarts when hes intown but also in his defence nice to see him actually pulling up a edinburgh rider away from home for a change its unreal just how many edinburgh meetings he gets

not many sunny days up here in cumbria though dan so ill say hopefully see you up again on race days

i agree 12 minutes is too long but i listed what i thought should be a maximum and by maximum ive given a little leway for times when it is awkward to pick or a rider needs time to repair something or recover from a hard ht 14 unless theres track work or injurys and such like there shouldnt really be a gap of more than 10 mins between heats obviously some tracks take a intervfell for various reasons but this should be kept to a minimum

ive been saying this for years ive actually been at a meeting when it was around 20 mins between heat 14 and 15 personaly 5 mins after heat 14 results are announced the ref should have the word then MAX another 5 mins for them to be either under 2mins warning or under orders last thing you want after a cold night of speedway is to be kept waiting for last heat especially if your team has had a bad night

ah 3rd time for you at workington thought you ment this actual meeting

3rd time lucky have i missed something weve only had 1 rain off this season as far as i know

ive also wondered if adams not been able to invest in new gear it is hard when your not scoring the points and maybe not much sponsership and also remember adam has a young baby to support its catch 22 cant invest without money and cant improve/be competative without investing in new gear

im not a scorpian fan but just saying nise to see someone who looks down the list and gives credit to the ones scoring 3 or 4 points towards a result far too many judge a TEAM by how many riders score max or paid max's scunthorpe looked poor in the first 2 or 3 heats but adapted better than workington did to the very slick/dusty track they earned there point and at 1 period looked like they were in with a chance of actually turning it into a win

for me the ref got it right in ht 15 earlier i thought riders were jumping starts but then i noticed it was always gate 3 so put it down to really good gates from 3 heat 15 was gate 2 that got a flyer so that was maybe the difference also only other thing the ref was maybe a bit tough not letting parkinson-blackburn push home for the point in ht 8

good win tonight against a strong team like sheffield yes maybe they were a rider down which might have made a difference but the main thing this was a good entertaining meeting not just a comftorble home win

nothing is obvious where I was around 10 miles away it hadn't even looked like rain was coming 100% dry and bright all day so to have a heavy downpour so close anything could have happened I did see photos from Friday mind and it was very wet they done well to get it back to being in with a chance of running Saturday morning

dry where I'm at but hearing reports its raining closer to track no reports of rain off yet mind

weather is much better than forcast ive not had anyword from my friend who will be at derwent park for the rugby so I'm taking that as good news if it was bad this morning he was gonna let me know so I could switch to plan b for todays plans so far I'm still on plan a which is speedway tonight

track is very wet today but had some sunshine and decent wind to help dry things out but a rugby match tomorrow will leave the track staff with little time to work some magic and any afternoon rain will ruin there efforts any more rain and I'm expecting a early rain off

forcast for rest of week and Saturday afternoon not too good I'm afraid

please don't get my old mate jenga too excited

and every thing gets cooked in the fryer too got a pie at berwick chip shop once and was nearly sick when i took a bite

now that belle vue are confirmed can everyone please stop arguing and celebrate that posssibly the best track in britten is going to be used in 2017

as much as i want to see belle vue carry on suerly there must be a deadline soon for this to be sorted for to run this year after all most have to declare at the agm to be involved the year after

absolutly the most stupid question ive every seen on this forum and thats saying something

i rate kk but the last season he was in gps hardley scored a point cookie won a race as a wildcard and to prove his from good stuff he lives about within walking distance from me dont know craig to talk to but i do know his dad from years ago

maybe its changed i cancelled my weekly order a few years ago and even stopped reading it from other people as it was just a waste of time ill agree over the winter you did get a few things worth reading to be honest it will take a massive change to get me to start buying it again but im maybe missing out but cant really see it changing that much to make me feel that way

speedway star is too expensive for whats actually in it very little in it is actually new information

dan bewley local to belle vue god id hate to see how far a rider has to be to be classed as long travel
