Surely it is not beyond the whit of man to organise some kind of National Second Half Competition then. Make it worthwhile to ride in - and off we go.
13 Heats plus Second Half. Problem solved.
Q.E.D.
You are right norbold. Certainly Freddie should be in the top three - in fact - he could have been Number One (which he is in my book) but for the fact that Freddie won both of his Titles at his Home Track.
I will change my top three:
1) Peter Craven
2)Freddie Williams
3) Peter Collins.
I tend to think more of the Riders I have actually watched Racing when answering these sorts of questions.
Thank you for pointing that out.
I agree totally - but - does the Sport not also need to target all those who are lost to the Sport - those who used to attend and then stopped for whatever reason.
I have NO worries about 'Speedway Star's' survival. It ran for years with a Monthly Magazine - 'Speedway Express' - and, of course the Weekly 'Speedway Mail'. Personally, I hope that this is a success because the more quality periodicals that are available to us Supporters the better as far as I am concerned.
Slightly different I know - but there are also the EXCELLENT offerings from Retro Speedway in the form of 'BackTrack' and 'Classic Speedway'.
Very best wishes to 'Inside Speedway'..........................
Aaaahhh - but will they actually DO anything. I could listen to hard words - but - I couldn't pay Ten Grand.
I am NOT anti Poole Starman - but - I value our Sports reputation - this incident certainly does not help in that department..
I'm sure there is a song about that screm.

Aaaaahhhh me!!
Rules, Rules, Rules, Rules, Rules they certainly know how to confuse and exasperate us poor Supporters at the BSPA. :sad:
Four blokes haring around a Track - how COMPLICATED can it get?
Very - it seems..................................................
