Great that there’s a tribute to Billy. But all the excitement on here about the second half heats!!! They used to be standard fare, and a damned good watch too. Go back to 13 heats and a full second half, including juniors’ heats.

I heard that. Pardon?

Conny Samuelsson was track record holder at Brandon at one stage

Oxford!

Please avoid Osbourne being referred to by initials. There was only one CO, Mr Charles Ochiltree. I thank you! 🐝

Always a sore point is that Nigel Boocock never received an honour

Mike Broadbank, without a doubt

Joe Owen

Crewe?

RIP Len

Many used to stay behind to watch GG in the “third half” at Brandon when he first started riding over here!

I seem to recall the CO organised The Warwickshire Flying Mile at Brandon, riders individually timed. Believe Ron Mountford was the winner.

“Would he of had it so easy” wasn’t predictive text, though!

Natalie Quirke was the best

Unless it’s by Monster!

Ouch! I remember several correspondences with Brian over the years, great to deal with. RIP Brian.

She is a total embarrassment

It doesn’t change the winning of the GP at all from how it is now!!! I agree that the winner should be the top scorer, hence my wording “if the semi-finals and final have to stay”

Is there any other way of referring to coming fourth than “and xxxxx xxxxxx misses out”, please?

If the semi-finals and finals have to stay….. Points scored in the usual way in heats 1-20 accumulate over the season towards the World Individual Championship. On the night, as now, the top eight scorers qualify for semi-finals and final to decide the Grand Prix (or Rider of the night), but no points from those last three races are included in the World Championship reckoning.

Champion performance from Bart!

But of course you’re not a newbie, are you? Just changed your name from R********go.

Or… You play ball with me and I’ll scratch yours!

Telling us you’ve followed the sport since you were 10 is not very informative, and could lead you open to some rude responses.
