That's a guaranteed 18 points for Sunny then.

Being biased is no excuse for being wilfully blind

I don't know why British clubs don't use tarpaulin to keep off the rain to avoid call-offs. And only the corners need to be covered. It would be so simple yet no club has ever done it. There's no excuses anymore. Here's an example of how it's done in Poland (albeit with the straights covered too) - [Go to 9:45 on the video to see the track covers]

What Harris did was nasty and loutish. He clearly stamped on Ben after pushing him and then carving him off the bike. Disgusting. I've lost a lot of respect for Bomber now.

Congrats to Dan T on finishing 5th in the British final. Well deserved as he always seemed to be in the top 2 in every race bar the semi-final.

Ivacic wasn't too bad but at least he turned up and looked interested in riding. Hausl has been pathetic all season, apart from two rides where he shot out of the gate (although in one he was pressured by Dan T and fell). He's been a far worse signing than Ivacic because at least Ivacic went in time and was replaced by a far superior rider for the rest of that season. This year the Tigers are stuck with Hausl until the end. *and i would love to see Basso back at Ashfield or anywhere in the Championship for that matter as he's one of the most exciting riders of the past 10 years. Nagel was fantastic as well.

With the ineffective Hausl out Glasgow look very strong at reserve with Battye coming in for him. Does anyone know if Kye is fully fit after Poole?

Drew Barrymore would have rode better than Drew Kemp last week

The way Hausl is riding he should be at No 8. Hausl just doesn't seem interested and if he's poor again against the Monarchs tomorrow evening i can see him being jettisoned by the Tigers.

"New signing Edward Kennett – a 28-day replacement for Erik Riss – makes his debut for Cheetahs. Kennett brings a wealth of experience to Cheetahs – the 39-year-old twice finished second in the British Final, while he was British Under-21 Champion in both 2005 and 2007." This was from the 2nd of June so 28 days would have been the last day of June. I'm honestly not sure whether he has signed another 28-day replacement contract (which would expire on the 28th of July) or whether he is just guesting now for Oxford until the situation with Riss becomes fully known.

That's a good quality reserve.

There are some negative things to say and i happened to say them. If there weren't any negative things then there would probably be bigger attendances but i've noticed them falling over the past season or so and i've heard from some fans that say that they aren't always comfortable at the speedway. Obviously your experiences are always wonderful and that's fantastic, i'm extremely glad about that. Plus, in my 'rant', i also complimented the staff at Ashfield who are always great so i wasn't being completely negative. This is a forum not Woodstock. Not everything said here is always going to be groovy, man.

What does he normally throw?

And lose out on the BSN money? Not a very bright thing to do.

Cami said it all came down to the choice of guests and whilst i agree with him saying that Drew had an awful night you have to quantify it with Justin Sedgmen also having a nightmare afternoon and scoring the exact same points as Kemp. If Howarth had been at number 1 and if Sedgy had scored his usual points around Ashfield the score wouldn't have been very much different from what it was. Kye and Dan were head and shoulders above all the home riders and if the Tigers are going to keep Chris at number 3 so he can't compete in heat 13 against the best that the opposition has to muster then Glasgow are going to keep having nights like this when having your best riders in the biggest heats will often swing a meeting. Why is Chris at 3 competing against the opposition's second string at the business end of the meeting anyway? Is this another example of tactical genius from Cami once again?
