  1. Take advantage of the lower standard of competition compared to Poland etc !
  2. Seems perfectly at home in the House Lords !
  3. I remember Paul O'Neil( one of the best gaters of the day) did a season at Elle Port in the 1973 would often pull up in last palce because reputedly his philosophy was "not blowing a motor for third I'm here for them to try to pass me not the other way around " .
  4. If he rides in the Pl in 2023 he would be an excellent reserve/ second string especially at home
  5. I think it will having been involved in several planning apps it allows the council and others to avoid any blame about the ultimate decision as it is taken by a faceless / impartial body as it were .
  6. That's great news that's exactly what needs to happen
  7. Sadly I feel you have won the battle not the war the council will do all they can up to the point of them shelling out in possible legal costs ,I feel the planning will end up being decided by the Secretary of State and they will pobably win . Make no mistake I want s/way to return but IMO someone needs to secure a long lease or purchase the site the first maybe possible but with the economic issues now and in the near furture who would invest that kind of money in a minority sport ? .
  8. They used to race at Crewe which was nice a wide ,we had a couple of races at the Elle Port but from memory they were Grass Outfits not S/way outfits which are much more compact .Plus the Grass Outfits went the opposite way hence wrecking the entrance to the corners ,I remember that from my riding days I loved it when it was only solos .
  9. You are spot on we left the sport ( as sponsors ) because within a very short period of time costs went through the roof!
  10. I think all forms of entertainment /hospitality are in for a rough time with the "belt tightening " people are going to have to exercise over the next year or so !
  11. Maybe somewhere like Wolves or Ipswitch perhaps .
  12. I would think this is the perfect time for Scott to bow out to pursue his media career ,he has nothing to prove and has been a fine servant to the sport .
  13. Simmo "The whole truth" is another good read as well
  14. It is about his riding career and starting out .
  15. Lambert has time on his side always gives 100% as well ,like the rest his real problem is Bart yet again rode with his head last night and I am sure he could have gone up another gear if he needed to .
  16. I think that is great idea with the riders having to reach a certain standard before they are allowed to race conventional machines .
  17. ironically I think it is ideal for starting out whether it will replace existing engines is another matter however it may help reduce cost by giving engine tuners /riders a wakeup call .A possible option for tracks close to housing( ironically I often hear householders actually moan about PA/music between races rather than the bikes ) or possible indoor use as has been said .
