Chris Widman?

If I remember correctly, the police did a test there in 2011 and the speed at the end of the straight going into the 3rd turn was around 75mph.

Wow!! Can you be team manager please? You could transform the team with advice and knowledge like that.

2600. It's disgusting that riders are allowed to have ambition.

Maybe Rover's being wormed that day?

Boon's the man for the job.

Smoking's bad for you, it fogs the mind.

On the track. At Leicester. Last night. Or are you as dim as your posts suggest?

They might have been the wrong type of passes though?

Were you standing down the straight? certainly plenty of dirt on the bikes.

I think you need to go to SpecSavers if you think there was no loose dirt flying around.

What was the qualifying process and did we all get a chance?

Can't he just get some black boot polish on and turn up anyway claiming he can't speak English?

There's already a shortage of team places for British riders. It's not going to help the careers of British riders by reducing opportunities even further. If a team feels the need to improve its commercial position further by employing foreign riders then the should go PL or EL. In 1989 when Jens Rasmusen joined Rye House it was said at the time that the floodgates had been opened. Look at the state of British speedway now.

Around about this time.

I'll agree that a foreign rider from unusual countries can be a bit of an added attraction but we already have the PL and EL for that. The NL for me has the added attraction of NOT being full of foreigners.

So how would an inexperienced foreign rider help bring more to a team than an inexperienced British rider?

But how would Jack Parker compare and what has he got to do with how many heats there are?

Not at the moment but they have done relatively recently. Also, were the Swedes not banned for a season in the 70s and I'm sure the entertainment would have been just as good during that season. As a rarity on here, I actually enjoy watching speedway so the more heats there are then the better it is.

Why not? How many Poles rode in Britain in the '70s?

What, even those kids that go to speedway and enjoy it?

I don't like the shape of the road that leads there

I understand though that some devious riders would use an oily rag occasionally on the bike.

Do you shop at Age Concern?

Please take time to understand posts before replying with a rant. I said hopefully the changes will improve the amount of racing lines, time will tell. And yes I have ridden a speedway bike many times. Have you?
