I agree, this winter has been best ever for SS.

coming up from sussex for both legs...

your local what?

and the good news I read is that some official matches may take place there this season...be good to visit again...

is that anything like Hors d'oeuvres?

0X0NE is actually a word (but I've never recorded this against any rider in a meet to date.

it could be just 1/2 a point wins a meeting outright if no rider finished in 19 races, and the riders in the other race placed 1st, 2nd and joint 3rd were all subsequently disqualified, leaving one rider with a joint 3rd the only scorer.

could be in a domestic individual somewhere..though I don't recall it in my time...

I bumped into Kevin Jolly at football recently.....he certainly has high hopes for Jordan Jenkins..

...an individual race ending in a dead heat (for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place (2.5, 1.5 or 0.5)). NB In league matches I have seen 2 dead heats , (1 for 1st place and 1 for 2nd place, never for 3rd)

has there ever been a dead heat in an individual meet?

from my prog: "Iwade Speedway - Home of the Kent Crusaders"

It was the inaugural season for the 3rd tier. I attended an early season challenge at Iwade where the programme talks about their keenness to get actual league fixtures scheduled, yet the records show they then withdrew after just 1 official meeting. can anyone recall the exact reaosns why they withdrew? thx

how many midlands tracks are there?

The NJL is a poor spectacle for spectators. same 4 riders against each other all the time. Much prefer 6 x 500cc heats.

doesn't get much milder or dry in February than this I'd have thought....I've even repaired my fence without a coat on....

I know I have been critical of the Stoke promotion on here in the past, but in relation to this thread, it's not the fault of Stoke or Buxton that other teams have signed up the best young talent in an effort to be successful thus meaning that the less well off teams have to compete in any way they can. I think it better they track competitive teams irrespective of age until/unless all teams in this development league agree to have standard pay and allocate the best youngsters across all clubs.

I Park up at Fratton and get the train from there..

is that a misspelling of 'their' or 'three' before the word breasts?

I recommend holiday inn express for a decent complimentary breakfast

Exactly? hmm some blimin detailed metrics required to achieve..

have there ever been official no. 9's used in british matches involving 8 man teams?

Coventry leaving Brandon means that since I started watching in 1976 there are now none that have continuously staged top flight league speedway without a break....

Being a Coeliac I find this thread very distasteful.

how about Todd Wiltshire at Berwick? .
