Seems like only yesterday, I also remember reading an article in the Backtrack mag from someone who was there that night and their memories a real moving account. RIP Vic.

Another fine read again TMC, just wish it was monthly is there any chance.

Totally agree if you beat Kenny Carter you had to ride fast and hard.

Have to agree, he is like a breath of fresh air, and I think that he is what the Grand Prix has been looking for, for around the last five years or so.

Millard; Freddie Lindgren from Wolvehampton.

After tonight performance I have to say that Scott is not good enough.

Thanks for that Mateusz, I was getting rather confused.

You forgot to say how old he is.

Millard; Greg Hancock has changed his racing colours from last year, he is now going with green and black. Jonno; I think that is to do with his sponsors an energy drinks company, it is their colours. Millard; Oh well I bought a green car last week, what does that mean.

I don't think I heard him say that tonight.

I think Tony Millard said he was 19. :wink:

To right he has, but I don't think I heard him mention that Leigh Adams was from Mildura, but he did say that Freddie Lindgren was from Wolvehampton,and when Jonno point out why Greg Hancock changed his riding colours to match his sponsors colours he went on about a green car he had bought.

After tonights performance I think it fair to say that Scott Nicholls should step aside and let someone else have a crack at the Grand Prix, he looked sluggish and very slow, and very much off the pace. On the other hand although he did not qualify Bomber Harris looked alot better, and more on the pace, whether or not he makes it into the top 8 remains to be seen, but I think that Bomber has a far better chance than Scott Nicholls. The young Russian lad is one that I saw for the first time tonight, but I had heard from friends how good was, looked really good, a bit hairy at times, but fast and very exciting to watch. It is alright to have fast bikes but you need the skill to ride them, and tonight he excellent skills in my opinion , the way he balances on the bike is briliant. One question I would like to ask is what is the correct spelling of Emil's surname, in the Speedway Star it starts Saj, yet on Sky Sports it Say.

Anyone know what happened to Shane, the lad seem to have plenty of potential and determination, but cruelly with injuries, has he had to call it a day.

Would have to say Zenon Plech, in his heyday he was a joy to watch, and a very skillful rider, he had a season at Sheffield at the end of his British career but was way past his best by that time. Changing the subject slightly, how many World Titles would Tomas Gollob have won if they were still one of World Finals, I reckon by now he could have won around 3 or 4.

Very good. :lol:

The one song that seems to have been played over and over again at Sheffield is Wipe Out, don't know who the artist is but usually follows a Sheffield 5 - 1.

Yeah lets send Paulco on a tour of modern art galleries, I would love to see what he would have to say about some of these abstract paintings. :lol:

I am just trying to imagine Paulco the culture vulture visiting art galleries and museums. :lol:

Also Paul means less time spent in the pub, means less chance tripping over kerbs.

I have posted this message on the Brummies speedway forum.

And I will second that as well.

You might be right there Sandman, I think that is the problem with forums thinks do tend to go a bit deep.
