Do you really think he's earned millions? Maybe, but I somehow doubt it? I do believe he has earned well, but millions might be pushing it?

I wonder if Tai's recovery and treatment would have been as good, if he had been treated by our NHS? 🤔

There is a big posting about onetime concrete starting grids, a posting by Gresham on the 15th May, 2016. Speedway tracks, apparently, used to have concrete starting grds, but were banned. 2 schools of thought were discussed as the reason. 1. due to a lip being created and the concrete grid could act as a take off ramp. 2. due to the change in surface grip, making things dangerous. Flipping at the start was also suggested.

Err! This is a discussion forum mate......wind your neck in!

Ok, happy to be corrected!

Maybe he purposely had his rear wheel on the concrete, to give him extra drive, but sounds like he may have lost control in the process? 🤔

The rider in white, his back wheel looks like it's on the concrete gully, which may have caused massive grip for the tyre and maybe that was the start of a perfect storm?

Nasty piece of work!

Spoil sport! 😉

Very true, it could help tracks save some money! It could mean Mildenhall come back in! 👍

Speedway Star has been an absolute bargain for 15yrs. See them in Tesco's & read them there & then. Took it in the cafe a few times for breakfast & then pop it back on the shelf. I do the same with newspapers too Daniel Smith (SF Troll) still looking for reactions! 😜

With respect, how do you know it's no? 🤔

Just a thought, could they not use old tyres to cover the upright RSJs? Which could be put on and taken off some how? I would imagine the cables wouldn't/couldn't be taken down for speedway, but actually, the cables may help with rider protection?

Ok. Thank you.

I wonder if the person who heads up the bank, is named 'Simon'? 🤔

An idea of the kind of pledge they are looking for would be good. I know it can be said 'as much as you can give', but a guide would be helpful. I've not heard of Zempler Bank.

I have one of those boxes and charged it up last year after being on the shelf since 1989. It producd a spark, but whether it's good enough to run an engine is debatable. You might find yours still works?

That's how Arena Essex was.

The track, with those RSJ uprights, looks unsafe for car drivers! Ridiculous! What are they thinking?

The Braintree track was like that. Did the Braintree organisers move up the road to Stansted do you know, when Braintree had to close?

I saw this. And someone mentioned there is a raceway in Stansted, Essex for bangers. Any good for speedway?

The funny thing is, cycle speedway, appears to be going great guns in Newport! Newport needs another Tim!

Are you still trolling?

I don't know, but corporates talking to corporates might have more sway than action groups talking to corporates? Surely the stadium is a bit of a 'thorn in the side' for BE?

As Coventry staged a GP in the past and successfully, as I recall, perhaps the GP organisers could have taken the opportunity to try and buy the stadium, to have as a British GP 'flagship', but with Belle Vue as a second British GP venue?
