Which is what happens. Therefore I think it highly unlikely that Mark Jones and all the other Commonwealth riders who have been here since the start of the season have been riding illegally.

Len Silver did contact the MC before the meeting, that was where the misunderstanding happened. If Scunthorpe rode under protest then they were aware the Nelson wasn't elligible. The reason for the delay is, I suspect, because there is such a thing as an appeals process that has to be followed. Therefore if Scunthorpe were aware immediately that a rider wasn't elligible to race doesn't it seem logical to believe that they would be aware of other riders that aren't eligible and protested them.

No. That was a case of Len Silver saying something to the MC that got misunderstood. As soon as it was realised a mistake had been made the situation was rectified. The reason the mistake was noticed was because the BSPA are aware of the current regulations.

Do you have any evidence to suggest that they don't?

Been waiting for a reply for days on a post that was made 8 hours before yours. Well done.

Well done. Give them a cookie.

Actually Tanya's site ignores the management. But would you rather the management be posting on here or at the stadium trying to get a meeting on.

Why? Does every other promotion post on here about the prospects of their meetings being on if the weather is looking dodgy?

Just had news from the stadium. It's off.

Raining heavily 1 mile from the stadium.

Tyson Nelson did one meeting before it transpired he couldn't ride. I think if the same was true of Mark and the other Aussies then there would've been much shouting at the start of the season rather than hints of possibilities at the end.

Yep. Just heard that.

No probs

It's Daniel I'Anson, even the BSPA site spells it wrong. Tom Young Andy Braithwaite The last one should be John Resch with an 's'.

It wasn't the most interesting GP ever, but then neither was Silverstone. To say there was no overtaking in the F1 GP was a lie, so if you want to say you enjoyed the speedway more than the F1 then say so, don't lie to try and justify your opinion.

Yes. Absolutely nothing happened and there was no overtaking. Apart from Webber getting ahead of Vettel at the first corner. And Vettel getting a puncture after contact with Hamilton. And Button passing six cars on the first lap. And Alonso passing Kubica by cutting a corner and being told to give the place back. However Kubica retired before Alonso could do that and Alonso was given a drive through penalty, but had to wait until the safety car came in before serving it. Yes. Absolutely nothing happened and there was no overtaking. Oh, there was also Vettel coming back through the field. And Button eventually finishing fourth. And Rosberg finishing third with tyre marks on his side pod and a missing barge board. Other than that, yes, nothing happened and there was no overtaking. Except for Sutil forcing his way by Schumacher. Yes, you are absolutely right. Or maybe you were watching the shopping channel by mistake.

I read the rule book. Either the rule has changed or the BSPA failed to enforce it. Is this the question you asked someone else and then kept making posts with childish, pathetic attempts at insults asking me why I hadn't answered it?

I'm on about you trying to write in English. You're getting there slowly. We just need to get you up to speed in reading now.

Still trying to write in English I see. Keep it up, you'll get there eventually.

17.1.1.2 The rules for a Rider not completing the Teams qualification fixtures are: A Rider who has an established CMA will wait until the next cut-off date (see SR 17.1.1.3), although if no new CMA is achieved by the end of Season, then in the following Season the previous Seasons established CMA will apply. A Rider with an Assessed CMA will be issued with a CMA after completing 12 fixtures (6 in the NL) that will be effective 7 days after that 12th fixture.

Todd got a new average yesterday and should ride at number 1.

Waaah! My IRONY-O-METER has exploderated!

The all four back rule is for an unsatisfactory start. If someone anticipates the start the ref stops it and puts all four back. Where's the bunching in that?

It was Danny Slater who rode for the Mavericks in 2000. I think he was only 15 or 16 years old. Stuart Williams also made a very brief appearance for Reading in 2003, he rode at Newport in the M4 Trophy challenge and was then injured in the first attemt to run heat 2 of the return leg at Reading.
