  1. Don't think it would have worked as it wasn't the top surface that was wet from rain it was whe whole base of the track that was wet from using wet shale to build it.
  2. I received a letter in the post today from Paul Bellamy giving details on how to receive a refund which will be paid by latest 11th November and also a form to claim free tickets for next year with a choice of Gothenburg, Copenhagen or Cardiff. Form needs to be returned to BSI by 14th November.
  3. I have 1 ticket for sale for the German GP, it is in block C2 in the centre of the back straight on row 3 (the front row) overlooking pits. Looking for £25 for it, send me a pm or email.
  4. Do they have different cameras for the Polish feed because there clearly was contact!
  5. Crump was about 3 quarters of a bike length ahead of Pedersen up the inside, Pedersen knew he was passed and leant on him and was on his way down even before they had got to the bend to try and get Crump excluded like he did earlier in the season. Gollob was about half a bike length behind on the inside of Crump and took his leg entering the bend. Grodzki has made a lot of made decisions in the past but got them all spot on tonight.
  6. Of course not, and I presume yours are nothing to do with your avatar either. Nicki has been getting away with that leaning on riders and falling off too much, that was the third time this year he has done it and the first time he has been excluded at last.
  7. Presume you don't watch it on Sky? After the fuss he was making in the sky studio that the only way Crump wouldn't win was if he had an engine failure, he jinxed him.
  8. At last a referee who didn't fall for Pedersen antics leaning on a rider and falling off if anyone tries to pass him up the inside. Don't know how he could compare that one with the Crump/Gollob one which was totally different. Don't know why Gollob had to do that, he had the final place in the bag, more like the Gollob of 1995 that. Unbelieveable that Crump had the engine failure with the win in the bag, Pedersen will be a lot more relieved now.
  9. Different rules, British rules are that you only have to be making your way towards the start when the 2 mins runs out, GP rules are that you have actually got to be at the gate and in your gate position when the 2 mins runs out. They showed 6 seconds left on the clock and he was still sat at the pits gate, was always obvious he wasn't going to make it and don't know why Tatum was making such a fuss about it.
  10. Wondered why he went for gate 4? He didn't have a choice, he had last pick!
  11. Sitting at those sort of tracks has always been quite expensive, most locals sit on the grass. But the pound is so weak at the moment making the exchange rate so bad and everything seem so expensive in Europe.
  12. People complain about the ruts at Cardiff but as long as riders aren't getting injured it makes the racing ten times better then these tracks.
  13. How many mentors is Scott Nicholls going to go through, last year he had Gary Havelock, earlier this year he has had Neil Middleditch and tonight he had Kelvin Tatum, don't know why he has them, don't do him any good.
  14. Yep Tokyo Melody was just before start of meeting, track staff marched out to Blazeaway and the Belle Vue team came out to Magnificent Seven on parade.
  15. Denmark were definatly the best team but they had some good luck on the night, few times when a rider fell the Danes were third or last and in the rerun won the race, don't down how Bjerre wasn't excluded when he lost control bringing Watt off.
  16. We stayed about 20 mins away from Vojens and it pouring down most of the day, we thought the track would be flooded then got there and found they had covered it up, they had obviously seen the forecast. Was bone dry then and they had to water it until it poured down again halfway through the meeting. Practise on the Friday was rained off too.
  17. We got there early and the track was covered with 4 massive sheets of thick black plastic, one on each bend and one on each straight held down by wooden pallets, when they lifted it up an hour before the meeting the track was bone dry underneath and needed watering, funniest thing was watching them trying to fold up the huge plastic sheets, they were like bouncy castles.
  18. Got back from Denmark last night, don't know how big the attendance was but it was very big, we were packed in like sardines, didn't bother trying to get food or go to the toilet during the meeting as the queues were about 300 yards long. We got there early and got a a good parking spot on the road but as we drove away afterwards there were cars parked lining the roads upto 2-3 miles away. We went back to Haderslev where we were staying and there were cars driving about waving flags beeping their horns, it was a big thing for them over there.
  19. Can't blame the track, other riders were finding grip out wide and also flying up the inside of riders.
  20. Think the organisers will be hoping Denmark don't win tonight else it will be a very poor crowd for the race off on Thursday.
  21. No offence but this topic is only half a page down titled SWC race rards. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=42876
