  1. The tractor at Wolverhampton is probably valued at £150,000
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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!
  5. http://justsolos.homestead.com/molly2.html
  6. How did wearing the Union Flag go down in Wales?
  7. Also worth noting that Denmark seems to be shut on a Sunday
  8. 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?
  9. So they did, as did Sudden Sam for his title win... I do think the Kevlars are so much more brighter and striking though
  10. 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
  11. Or one little one at the current rate of closures and for sale boards
  12. So we see the same top teams in the semis and final? You'd just be replicating the league in miniture
  13. Albert Einstein is widely credited with saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."
  14. KK is rubbish in a lot of stuff... But then he can put a season together from nowhere that bags him a world silver medal. That's possibly why the current qualification system doesn't suit a rider like him, he could have easily not qualified or got a wildcard for the series one year (10th) and then come 2nd in the world the next... And then rubbish again the year after (15th). He's the exception to the rule
  15. I believe KK may have made the top 8, equally he could have gone through the whole series without scoring a point, that's what you get with KK. And I think Jarek Hampel may have done something, he's certainly got the experience and is still a world beater on his day, I'd like to think he has unfinished business in the GP's if he can put his mind to it
  16. Better than "sorting" them the day before the grand final
  17. Stayed at the Scandic in Kolding, flew into Aarhus on the Ryanair and hired a car for the weekend
  18. Didn't Woffy win his 2nd championship when Emil elected not to compete? I think it was the year that Emil won the SEC, I remember thinking at the time can Woffy really claim to be World Champion when a rider of Emil's quality and the form he was in was not in the competition... Then I thought yes he can
  19. The trouble is running the cup comps at the end of the season, as tends to happen now, is that you get the same teams in the league play offs and the cup comps due to them being the strongest at the end of the season and then you get clubs having to run double headers against the same team and having the same team visit 2 or 3 weeks on the trot. If they were run throughout the season as they used to be clubs that don't make the play offs would also have a chance at extending their season. If Leicester had been in the cup at the beginning of the season they may have got further than they did by the time their team had been decimated
  20. You're a very silly person, don't dare to presume what I think
  21. Does that include Sam Ermolenko, Ronnie Correy and all of the Karlsson's?
