  1. Serious contenders (only those that made the final): 84 Billy Sanders 85 Sam Ermolenko 86 Tommy Knudsen, Kelvin Tatum, Sam Ermolenko, Jimmy Nilsen 87 Sam Ermolenko, Jimmy Nilsen 88 Sam Ermolenko, Jimmy Nilsen, Simon Wigg, Kelvin Tatum, Jan O Pedersen, Per Jonsson 89 Tommy Knudsen, Simon Wigg, Kelvin Tatum, Jeremy Doncaster You could permutate all the above names through all the above years as in the old style lottery qualification not all of these quality riders made all of the finals
  2. I wonder if Tai will be invited along for his input after the success of the GB Speedway team after they did what he'd wanted them to do for years?
  3. If can remember her name, then yes please big shot journalist
  4. Were you happy in the knowledge that teams probably turned up at Owlerton thinking we don't really have to try against this lot as we'll probably make the top 4 by winning all our home matches, scrape through to the play offs and win the title that way?
  5. Well, it was their lead Motorsport story on the homepage, even with the USA GP this weekend. I don't recognise the name Ana Currasco but I do remember seeing something on the BBC website about a women winning some motorbike race... As I'm not interested in superbikes or MotoGP I didn't bother reading it
  6. Sounds a bit like religion Only because he scored the most aggregated points across the SGP series though... What about Leon Madsen who wasn't in the GP's... Or Rob Shuttleworth?
  7. That's wrong moxey, KT was still riding well into the modern machine era, still riding for arena in 2004... And being an engine tuner I would also suggest on pretty fast engines
  8. As if to prove my point the BBC have very helpfully put a "sports" story on the homepage of their website today (the day of the Speedway cup final) about a transgender Motorsport competitor Charlie Martin (no, me neither), nothing to do with success or popularity but a sports story purely about being transgender in Motorsport. Much like everyday on the BBC website where you can read about the latest transgender "news" item despite that community only being estimated at being 0.2% of this country's population. Speedway needs a LGBTQ+ or female rider and the coverage will come from the BBC
  9. The tractor at Wolverhampton is probably valued at £150,000
  10. It says a lot that this has been going for 20 odd years, organised and run by the fans for the fans and the BSPA are still unable, with all the technology at our hands these days, to organise something to replace it for the fans... Mind you, i doubt we'd get some of the comical comments on the race reports if they did. Knowing the BSPA they've probably looked at ways of closing it down Long live live updates
  11. There's a lot of truth in what you say here, I watch the F1 and generally afterwards wish I hadn't, yet those that watch it rave about the quality of the F2 races... Yet I've never seen one and won't put myself out to do so. Perhaps British Speedway should be run by an independent psychologist
  12. Seriously though, the British public thought so because they bought the record... Just because you thought that Ultravox was better just means that you were wrong... Oh Vienna!
  13. http://justsolos.homestead.com/molly2.html
  14. How did wearing the Union Flag go down in Wales?
  15. Also worth noting that Denmark seems to be shut on a Sunday
  16. Joe Screen and his zebra suit was memorable and the suit he had with arm tassels... I also remember Doug Wyer having arm tassels and was it the whole Mildenhall team or just I seem to remember Ray Bales?
  17. So they did, as did Sudden Sam for his title win... I do think the Kevlars are so much more brighter and striking though
  18. As I'm a little bored at work and just seen the SGP Facebook post asking who had the best Race Suit this season... Got me thinking about the most memorable I've seen. Steve Bastable sticks out for me when he had black and white checks, I always think pure white is particularly striking and quite rare, I can only remember Eric Riss this season and Andreas Jonsson a few years back. Wiggy green with his splats, Jan Staechmann
  19. Or one little one at the current rate of closures and for sale boards
  20. So we see the same top teams in the semis and final? You'd just be replicating the league in miniture
  21. Albert Einstein is widely credited with saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."
