I think it means Gas + Air

I went to halfway, blimey the racing seems rather slow but I like the idea of someone hanging off the back of the stock car, dodgems style.

Hawkins might say the result didn't matter but I think they'd rather face Poole in the semis than Swindon.

Would that mean a ban for withholding services?

And a genuine one last week got the rider a ban!

Indeed. Tungate recently 'forgot his passport' so couldn't catch a flight to the UK for a Thursday meeting for the Panthers and no ban ensued. Nicholls on the other hand injured himself loading his van for the Championship riders championship and was banned for a week - should've used the old 'van broken down' line.

I thought there was a rule about an 'unsatisfactory start'? This is what is used to call all of them back for a first bend incident as they interpret the start line until the exit of bend 2 as 'the start'.

Without Wright's bike failure in heat one could've been a Panthers win

Should be an easy win for Swindon. Fast track should suit Batch, Toby, Perks and Doyle. Boro have no form/confidence going into the meeting.

I'm surprised people still keep thinking it's about racing - it's about commercial growth and selling tickets/sponsorship.

Lindgren lives/lived in Andorra, maybe for tax reasons!

Every rider will make their own assessment. Let's face it, those who can get remarkably good money from Poland so, as you say, it's not surprising. There a lot of very wealthy riders at the top. At least this gives places for others and the pendulum may swing again at some point, who knows.

Not last night, was trying hard to pass.

Nope just got beat.

He did well at Rye House and has progressed well at Leicester forming a good partnership with Nicholls. Swindon are reaping the benefits.

Shame for Boro, Andersen's EF and fall didn't help.

There has to be one day when an injured rider returns?

Presumably Kennett & KP have already been given the wink that they will be riding for another club in the merry go round we have these days? Peterborough? Lynn?

Should give him some confidence.

Maybe they were then but on updates no-one got within even half a second. How do they record race times these days?

Well done indeed. Surprising there were no other fast ones though. Are race times still a person with a stopwatch?

I expect the 'suffered a reaction' line to come out. Fact is, if you're not fit to race, you're not fit. The meeting involved is irrelevant. If he is fit then ride. Thing is, the safety of others has to come into it.

Me too, Sal took him off. Clouting by name........ Also remember him pulling off his dirt deflector and chucking it along the stock car track at Foxhall!

Seems Heeps had a bad one tonight and withdrawn from meeting - any news on how he is?

Jeremy Doncaster (although Scott Nicholls isn't far behind).
