But apparently, there are those who don't think he's "on the pace"...

See my comment above!

That is one of the biggest problems with British speedway; it's tough to get any sort of atmosphere when you don't have a crowd.

So you don't think there are any British riders that are "on the pace"?

Damn, that was unfortunate...

I blame the live TV coverage; killed the sport...

Other than all the crashes caused by the watering. I just don't get the comment about GB being "not as good as they believe themselves to be". We were nicely poised, and then got screwed by the track. We could/should easily have been a race from the race-off, and just two races from World Champions...

Yeah, we're crap. I don't know why we even try. Just tell all British riders to quit, and we'll all be happy...

And yet again, a meeting being ruined by watering...

Yet again, we have found a way to throw it all away...

Here we go...

I've received an email from someone asking me about a "European Championship" held at Ostrava on September 28, 1947. Obviously, it was an unofficial championship, but it was mentioned in Basse Hveem's book. Eric Chitty was second, Hveem third, and Karl Killmeyer fourth. It was won by one of the Craven brothers, and I assume it was Malcolm. Can anyone confirm, or provide any additional info, please?

Wonder if this will be finished in time for tomorrow night?

Anyone else notice the screwed-up captions again? Two riders in blue, there!

What's going on with the Aussies?

I know - that's what I'm watching!

It was yesterday...

Yout know, people are slamming Lambert, but I'm in total agreement with you there.

Maybe they had planned on it, but getting stuffed in the first heat pretty much screwed any strategy. It's easy to mess around when you're leading, but whe you have to do it from behind, it seriously limits your options.

Oh, come on, that's an exaggeration! He was the first one from - sorry, into - the tapes!

Woffindens? There's only one of him!

Hmmmm... I'd have used Lambert instead of Woffy here...

It's Vojens. I thought you knew better?

Great move by Woffy!

Hope springs eternal...
