  1. Thank you all for the information, it is much appreciated. Is their a specific 27mm carburettor available or is it just an insert for standard carburettors?
  2. In Poland apparently they use R500 engines that are restricted to 250cc to save costs as the engine is then unrestricted and used as a 500cc. Can anyone elaborate on this and how specifically the engines are restricted?
  3. Will it be shown live on TV and if so where please?
  4. Considering how quickly Mildenhall track and fence modifications took and after the fire the rebuild, it will probably be up and running for next year. Hope speedway is in the plans so a stock car fence can easily accommodate a switch for a speedway barrier, unlike the problems and time involved the change over at Mildenhall. It is great news and Good luck and fortune to all involved, they deserve it.
  5. Irrespective of many people not being able to watch due to technical difficulties, they should think themselves lucky as they did not have to endure the abysmal camera coverage and woeful commentary. Only when replays of the races were shown from different angles could you appreciate any race as then you could see what was happening. Do not even go their with the commentary. As many have already posted, BSN leaves a lot to be desired even if it is the last stand TV coverage.
  6. With The British U21 Final at Redcar on the same day surely the relevant authorities should have made this the only fixture available for maximum publicity and attendance on Sunday.
  7. 1. Nathan Ablitt - (Middlesbrough) - 8.33 2. Ryan Ingram (Leicester) - 5.18 3. Dayle Wood (Edinburgh) - 8.00 4. Harry Sadler (Middlesbrough) - 2.00 5. Jake Mulford (Kings Lynn) - 8.74 6. Seth Norman (Leicester) - 2.00 7. Ben Whalley - (Edinburgh) - 2.00 Total - 36.25
  8. Will a NL Fantasy Team for 2026 be going ahead?
  9. I would have thought that the first home meeting in several seasons that all the squad of Buxton`s team would be riding. Prey tell why 2 squad riders did not ride?
  10. So no posts on here since Thursday, very quiet for a new venture which is supposed to return today? Will it be on or will the weather win? Was going to venture over but with no news, it is looking like a miss.
  11. It appears that since teams no longer have assets that riders need their own insurance as they seem to be classed as self employed. I do not know the actual facts, but in such a dangerous sport it would be hoped they are all insured in some way. Self-employed individuals are not typically insured by the hiring company. However, if you are a contractor or subcontractor, you may need to have your own insurance, especially if you are providing tools and uniforms. Employers' liability insurance is generally required for businesses with staff, including self-employed individuals, to protect against potential claims for workplace injuries. It is essential to assess the level of control and independence of the worker to determine if they are considered an employee or a bona fide subcontractor, which can affect the need for insurance. www.gov.uk+5
  12. It is possible that SIS is closing Greyhound Racing Tracks purely for financial purposes after the rise in gambling tax. The Remote Gaming Duty has risen from 21% to 40% as from yesterday. William Hill will close over 200 betting shops due to this rise and could further affect Horse Racing throughout the country. So not only SIS but potentially ARC and all other forms associated with betting.
  13. Why oh why would anyone invest buying a Premier pass or a combined? Nobody knows if their will actually be a Premier League, if their is how many teams would be in it and what dates? It will be a basic measure of interest in speedway in this country at the attendance for The Peter Craven meeting as most people I know are not bothering with the meeting or Belle Vue at all.
  14. Please can you elaborate on who SFL are?
  15. It really amazes many people how some posts are made not knowing very much about the wide and diverse scope of speedway. Jake Mulford is named as a rider in the Championship for Redcar.
  16. Looking at the Big Bucks signings, their is nothing this league will offer to any new comers or development. Lets Make Lots of Money League, going back to the Heathen days.
  17. British Youth Championships at Belle Vue are not stand alone meetings and follow Colts matches. Where you get 20 people watching shows how little you follow the events. Watching the new stars learning and honing their skills is essential to British Speedway and I can assure you I have never seen as few as 20 spectators at any event. If the clubs do not want to cough up for the future stars then shame on them and sod them when they come calling for the next hot prospect. Can you name one rider who actually started in the begining at Belle Vue recently and made an impact on the sport?
  18. From parents and competitors competing in the BYC it is the only venue that charges the competitors to ride, unlike other venues. Is this correct?
  19. As per statement on British Speedway website:- All NDL regulations are subject to SCB approval. As part of the British Development regulations, all clubs not competing in the National Development League must participate in at least one of the following alternatives during the season: National League Riders Development Individual, Midland Development League, Northern Junior League, Second Half Open Invitation or a standalone British Youth Championship Round. Now I wonder when such previous like statements have been made and not adhered to?
  20. Just like the Promoters Conference was, Ipswich take over is and National League declarations are. So nothing new in speedway circles, just a continual roundabout and waiting for Zebadee 🤣
  21. Not sure if I remember correctly but Belle Vue CEO might have mentioned in Speedway Star that the Colts were not financially viable.
  22. Irrespective of who or anybody signing him, would he be eligible for The British Final?
  23. So with Oxford selling season tickets including 5 NDL fixtures and Buxton, who are the 6 other teams that the BSP envisage coming to the tapes this season?
  24. Wonder who the riders actually paid to make it all go away?
  25. So is it okay that after a young lady is sexually abused the perpetrators are all still actively involved in speedway?
