The White Knight

Well said snyper - I 100% agree with you. Very well put. :approve:

Actually SCB you are right. The Racing was so good that the Result could have stood on it's own - without this 'Joker' nonsense. I don't think it made any difference to the final Result in this case but it spoiled a cracking Meeting for me.

I've been banging on about this for years - in the World Cup - for Speedway read 'It's a Knockout'. All we need is Stuart Hall. Makes our Sport look cheap and nasty. Everything in Speedway these days is geared towards contrived Results. Tactical Doubles, Play Offs, the Grand Prix System where the top eight Riders are GUARANTEED a place the following year and the 'Joker' in the World Cup. For heavens sake - Poland won the World Cup having played their Joker, Australia lost because they never got six Points behind. Where is the fairness or credibility in that.

Lost interest when he got his hair cut. :D

So has Mal McKay and 'Taffy' Owen. :sad:

Not sure - but - I think he has retired. :sad:

Apart from that it's OK then. :)

I thought Kyle had retired??

Very interesting footage. First time I have seen one of those Racing Cars apart from in Books. Great to see one in action. :approve: Thank you very much for Posting this. Sadly - I have no idea which Track is involved.

I noticed that myself. I didn't fancy another argument so I didn't comment. A SCOTTISH GP at Hampden PLEASE!!

BLOO*Y H*LL!!! NOT AGAIN!!!! :mad:

Do you want a STRAIGHT answer?? :rofl:

While 'youse' is on about it - what about Joe Hughes.

Dougie and Willie Templeton, Jimmy Tannock.

Max Grosskreutz. :approve:

Airey was better than Crump senior. :approve:

I had forgotten Jim Airey - he would HAVE to be in the Top Ten Aussies. :approve:

Top Russians for me would be Igor Plechanov, Boris Samorodov and Gregori Chlynovski. I would also put Greg Hancock ahead of Bruce Penhall and Sam Ermolenko for the Americans. That would be my trio of top Yanks.

Me too. :D

Was that just if he fell off???

This seems to be a recurring theme.......................................

At least I can still get my Bovril at Newcastle. :drink: The Drinking Smiley is the closest I could get to Bovril - the liquid is Black. :t: (Ooops - can I say that?)

Not a lot here for us Brits to cheer. :sad: Oh for those heady days of the '70's, 80's etc. :approve: Once we RULED the Speedway World - now we have to rely on a GIFT even to get on the top table.

R.I.P. + Tommy.

Belle Vue, Hyde Road for me. :approve:
