SPEEDY69

Oh dear.

I thought Ellis would have been back by now - what's the ongoing situation with him, will he be back for the Cup final or playoffs?

Well, that was a meeting Ipswich could've won. Rew, Jenkins, Thompson and Cook seemed terrified of the outside line, in heat 2 they kept trying to go on the inside of Mulford but Bewley had already shown the outside was working. Finally, when Jenkins was forced to go wide by Nicholls in heat 11 he found it worked. That was a great race by Scott who rode inside and out to thwart Bewley. Thompson seems to have gone backwards at Foxhall in recent meetings and anyone giving up before the chequered flag will get criticism from me. They can turn it around and Witches fans will be hoping they do. Please don't book Zach Cook again - sods law he'll get a hatfull next week🙂

Looks like the usual suspects, Flint and Pawlicki who've let them down again. Shame for the Brummies fans.

Should be a Sheffield win but we'll see.

Absolutely!

Good, better seats for us!

They announced it tonight.

Well that was a fantastic evening at Cardiff, great atmosphere, great racing and tension with a Brit 1-2 and no holder or Zmarlik in the final. Added to being on a great city we really enjoyed it. Getting our tickets for 2025 very soon.

Once again Birmingham oh so close, can't help but feel sorry for them, just need a bit of good fortune.

I'm still perplexed regarding Killeen being excluded for leaving the track - his bike did not conform to regulations as he'd broken his front mudguard. Was he supposed to come to tapes with it like that only to be excluded for having a defective machine? (It isn't compulsory to have a mechanic, so he may have needed to do the repairs himself).

Is there any live streaming from Berwick?

Agreed. Plus, all the people who own more than one house keep prices rising and affect the supply/demand ratio.

Agreed, has been the difference between wins/losses for Brum all season as they expected him to get much more at home especially. I think he's reached his level.

Even as an amateur club you have to fun with scb licensed officials etc. and if under another body the promotion would not let us ride there. Rents got higher to make it unviable in the end as we would have to charge £60 per rider, and that's with 35 of them turning up.

One is run by Rob Godfrey, the other isn't. SCB/BSPL have been doing this for years. The Southern Trak Riders amateur group were forced out because they weren't allowed to run under another body at any existing SCB tracks and those tracks then priced them out of existence.

Harsh to criticise Castagna, I thought he rode really well and unlucky in heat 2. Brennan was reserve for SON and on his home track should do better than that, he's proven he can. He only beat Pickering and Howarth from their 1-5, which Castagna did as well.

Felt sorry for Birmingham tonight, the win was there but this time it was Brennan who was poor. Flint was also shocking. Good to watch and a close finish but was rooting for the Brummies.

Yes, he was only beaten once, definitely the star of the night.

They should bin the TV if they can't actually be brave enough to carry on as normal. No issues with the weather last night, meeting should've run.

Bewley takes his foot off the footrest and surprise surprise the bike takes off.

Looks like two levers on left of the handlebars, surely no gearbox? or is it a weird shadow?

Hi, this event at the University of East Anglia may interest speedway historians or curious types. https://www.uea.ac.uk/events/view?id=84e86f7c-b3da-40e7-8b15-fea7ff61d958

What's the point of practising! Track is never the same as the actual event.

I thought practice was cancelled, was there a different issue than the weather?
