  1. http://www.kingslynn-speedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.31408
  2. Why should there be any sanctions? It's not their fault they have a number of injuries, and there isn't much choice for guests.
  3. No - although they have arranged a Wednesday afternoon banger destruction derby, with orders to hit the pit gate as hard as possible.
  4. Steve Worrall and Ben Barker became just the 33rd and 34th riders respectively to win a rostrum place in the British Final, since its inauguration in 1961.
  5. Two former Ipswich riders, a couple of former Workington riders, a couple of former King's Lynn riders, a couple of former Stoke riders , etc., etc. ...
  6. Lawson has better record on countback, i.e. 1 win and 3 second places. Head-to-head is only when countback is the same.
  7. Dan has a dislocated shoulder from a crash at Foxhall last Thursday.
  8. Looks like nobody has volunteered to text to Live Updates ...
  9. #BusterGate provided both openness and transparency: apparently there was no "openness" for the pit gate, and we could all see through the excuses ...
  10. That’s an interesting thought, although they would need Holder to return by 31 August. Not sure if Pickering and/or Ellis and/or Kerr would be excited at the prospect of being released …
  11. As I said earlier: the average is irrelevant, he's replacing Holder.
  12. His average is irrelevant - even if he was on 4.03, he's been signed to replace Holder ...
  13. 7.03!! https://britishspeedway.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/p23_issue_23-2.pdf
  14. I wouldn't say "better" prepared - I would suggest they are prepared to suit the unstable rocket ships they like to ride ...
  15. I think you mean you've seen more fat on a butcher's knife. Doyle will be muscly and very lean.
  16. No, they've been testing transponders, but not every track has the appropriate equipment - or possibly even the facilities to install it!
  17. I recommend that you try it with a hand-held timer ... the same race several times - you probably won't get it to the same tenth every time.
  18. Does anyone really believe they can time these to hundredths of a second!!!
  19. But it was never to the extent that people remember. ITV was, as pointed out, localised. World of Sport showed highlights of some big meetings.
  20. It has never been on terrestrial TV, apart from highlights. People have rose-tinted, and very distant, memories.
  21. Way back when Ipswich nearly went to the wall, it was confirmed that John Louis, as promoter, was the only person (other than the riders), who took a wage out of the club. All clubs are totally reliant on volunteers, and most clubs have no tangible assets. There doesn't appear to be viable operating model, and certainly no opportunity for investment.
  22. 8 x 6 = 48, which is roughly the total number of different riders currently gracing 16 teams in the Prem & Championship - so your hope of a 4.50 minimum is impossible. Guests? R/R? Squads?
