I am in no way saying that all in the garden is rosy - only a fool would claim that - but to play devils advocate to Moxeys position it is possible for the company to show a loss and the owners to still be making money. Directors salaries/dividends etc would reduce the bottom line. That said I personally doubt any promoter - even Mr Ford- is growing fat from his speedway right now.

Perhaps because the offer isnt available when your own team is riding there. Would you travel to Worky as a neutral for a £small discount?

Id say its odds on. To be fair his performance last year was much better than most - including myself- expected.

Isnt it to help the others secure places in other competitions ie Grand Prix qualifiers and spots in the UK In the long run that may be seen as the most advantageous option for Aussie Speedway overall.

I am told that Hawkins couldnt agree terms elsewhere with what is considered one of the better paying teams -one that would also have been much closer to his base. So it doesnt seem he would be a cheap option.

If you ask they may do requests!! What does Adam want as his signature tune?

Would I be right in saying that Rohan Tungate was the only first year Aussie to average in excess of 5 in 2012? (6.55)

Too right - the boy was nothing until he learnt his trade at Foxhall !! ;-)

Just the Witches burning up the opposition!

Posted by Witches Forever on the Ipswich thread that 'the chap that has bought the stadium is very pro motorsport' This doesnt seem to indicate that it is Spedeworth that have purchased. I thought Spedeworth had only recently renewed their controlling lease. This of course may be unaffected by the sale of the freehold ownership of the land. It is a bit puzzling that all reference to the development has now been removed from the Witches website. Hopefully some clarification from official sources will be forthcoming soon.

Dont disagree as such as he is a wholehearted racer. His kit however has been described as a 'bag of spanners' hence my post. Id be very happy for Chris to get a place and prove me wrong

Just have my phone available today and not up to speed with such tricks on it!! Thanks MrBeerhut - see ya soon mate.

I made a post in the Birmingham thread with a suggestion to phase out the current system. If someone knows how to quote it onto this thread I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks. Well done Rohan.

How does the points scoring work this year - total points or place points ?

So that puts him at about No 30 in the Aussie rankings - is that good enough for a Visa?

You missed out Hall and Oates!!

Home and away??

Am I right in thinking that Sky are the production company for the Cardiff GP? If so will this continue if they dont carry on with coverage?

Cant see what difference a few hundred miles makes when you're leaving home and travelling half way round the world!! Id say feeling welcome and trusting those you are dealing with would be most important along with the level of back up you feel you will receive.

Its not about his starting average more about whether he meets the criteria for a visa at all.

Its often been said your head is empty and now you have confirmed it! ;-)

Ok my true assessment of the Witches. Barker down to 9.50 Lanham up to 7.50 Risager up to 7.00 Tungate up to 7.25 Makinen about even at 4.75 Heeps up to 5.50 Ellis up to 4.00 Overall very happy with the team and wouldnt swap with who is still available.

Yeah why not - and Risager as well while we're at it!!
