Great news Matt - email sent.

There used to be a web site with the 'Complete A-Z of Post War British League Speedway Riders' and I think they (Matt) also were selling CDs of their volumes. However, the old web site seems to have been hijacked and google searches bring up nothing. Anyone know if they are still undertaking the project and where their on-line home might be now

A few people on here hung out with Kelly in his final years. I got to know him in New York, where he rode his last meetings. He was very engaging but you could see that he'd lived a life. Here he is with Boogaloo in 2003 - Kelly was only 43 when this was taken....

My 1st ever meeting: Sept 1st 1973 Kings Lynn vs Coventry Bees Stars: T Betts A Price B Humphreys E Reeves M Simmons R Bales D Gagen Bees Nigel Boocock Pete Bailey Garry Middleton Alan Jay Frank Smith Jeff Shirley I assume that a few are not with us any more. Simmo I know.

No he came over for this. He is still living in the UK

Yep - the very same. Nice tidy riding. Won some heats, lost some heats. But riding for for fun rather than going all out.

I picked up a copy at Manchester Airport during a flying visit to the UK recently. Have to say - despite there being no UK season - it was a good read and I like the layout. The one thing I didn't see - was averages etc for the Polish and Swedish Leagues - which given there are no UK stats I figured they might be included. Otherwise - I am glad you are still managing to Publish Mr. Rising.

I went to the Speedway in NY the other weekend to watch the Outlaw US National Speedway Championships. Saw Broc Nicol, Billy Janniro and Ronnie Corry. Some good races between Nicol and Janniro. Good size crowds. No social distancing - and I think I was the only person wearing a mask in teh entire place.. Sat at the top of the stands at least 20 feet from people.... who were partying like it was 1999. Listen to a podcast on the weekender here https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/eastcoastdirt/episodes/2020-10-15T15_19_45-07_00

How's everyone doing ? Any revelations? Anyone completed any updates, improvements etc ?

How we all doing? I thought I fixed the clone issue... seems I haven't :-)

Ian turner, Kings Lynn 1969 to 1980. And although he rode for Boston in his last season in 1980 - they were kind of Kings Lynn's second team. Wasn't Rochdale a Belle Vue feeder team ?

So tonight I had Anders Rowe on my team, beating Anders Rowe of Swindon in Heat 14. And the breaking news is that Wolverhampton placed Broc Nicol on the transfer list, which is cute, as he is riding # 2 in my team. Serious question - I tried saving my current game as a new game with a different name and it crashed. Tried doing it this a few times and it crashes\d each time. Should I follow the second option of installing the updates ?

There are quite a few riders who are not listed on this years named 7 for Championship teams - but rode in the championship last season when doubling up from the National Development League. They have Championship averages.

It's still available for purchase from Roogames. http://www.roogames.co.uk/ You need a registration code to use the game. I have already created the 2019 and 2020 season lineups with 2019 final averages. I Only created two leagues. I am happy to share those. It would overwrite the data files that come with the version your purchase - but it wouldn't wipe out the historical data - just add 2019 and 2020 seasons

Ha - good to know. This is why Flying Shale had it covered - with the check box designating a D2 Average/Rider. So you can have duplicates of riders.

Born Nicol and Charles Wright I see twice. I signed one of the Brocs.

Can't believe that Poole just won the 2020 season. Jason Crump tops the averages, When I click to screen shot-the game moves to the next screen. Not an important question: Wonder if certain font colors are editable ? I can't read red text on a red background - (my team is in the red but I couldn't read how much - so get getting told I couldn't afford anyone :-)

Yes, got it finally running smoothly in W10. Installed the update and edited as directed. Couldn't sign anyone of note :-) - so my team has 3 2.00 pointers and got smacked in our first meeting - 67-23 !

Yes it works for me too. I live in Boston, USA so here we go. great job there - love it !

OK- I got the game to open on my work laptop which find Windows 10 Enterprise rather than Windows 10 Home. However, it hangs when I try to load a new game. Will continue to try.... can't wait to see the files in the game,

Tried the Winevdm method. Nothing happens for me unfortunately. Clicked on the speedway exe and nothing happened, no error messages, nothing. On to the next option.

HA! I didn't think that was the option being offered - I thought it meant you gave up control to the AI. This changes the game ! Will give it a whirl tonite. Thank you.

So when you get the editing done and files saved - maybe you could share them :-) ? I need to learn this VB stuff...

When you start to run a competition you get a choice, pick on team or none. That's it.

I have a W95 PC with the game installed - but I would like to know how to get the virtual machine running on my Windows 10 machine - if you could explain how to do this - so I don't need to keep swapping out machines - plus I don't have a keyboard right now that will plug into my old W95 PC :-)
