If you've not got it then buy it, couldn't put the damn thing down on holiday, brilliant read and insight!!

I was I lower tier between bend 4 and the start line and thought the sound was awful, sounded muffled everyone around me thought the same as had to concentrate to get race times

No problem, was advised of the deal at work today but couldn't get 2 mins to check availability, booked mine before I posted the link. Looks like me and the mrs will have to have a beers and speedway weekend in sunny cardiff

Cardiff Bay Holiday Inn Express is available on the 2 for 1 special, so you get Fri & Sat or Sat & Sun for £140 for a double http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/exclusive

Any news on this book?? Had my order in with Amazon for ages now

I've had it on order from amazon since January, got an e-mail from them on July 25th saying: - We are sorry to report that the following items have been delayed. We also wanted to let you know that the following title, previously listed as not yet published, has now been published. Unfortunately, the title is not available from our suppliers at present, which means it could take 4-6 weeks to arrive in our distribution centre. Tony McDonald "The Kenny Carter Story"

This was a classic case of six and two three's neither Scotty or Hans were totally innocent. Pesrsonally I think we are skirting over the major subject and thats the inconsistency of refereeing in a single GP not over the whole series, Mr Grotski (sp?) should have the same rules for all riders not one if your top of the rankings and one for everyone else. The GP organisers should stick to one referee doing the whole lot of GP rounds not this swapping over here and there like they do now.

Speedyguy, since the Bradford Bulls 'developed' the stadium there is no chance for speedway to return to Odsal as they have built on or around the 3rd and 4th bend, the attached link shoudl show the stadium as it looks now. http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/bb_stadium_...sp?stadiumid=18 As for speedway in West Yorkshire, they are currently looking at venues in the Halifax area, so best wishes to Mr Hayes and his team with their venture

I think the major thing that will affect these guys is if they get a knock, which when they were a few years younger might have kept them out for a week a two, will now keep them out a hell'uva lot longer (creaking bones and all that). As foir technical ability IMHO there is still a massive gap between the likes of TRick, Gollob, Adams, Nicki P and Crumpy to say the like of the next bracket, Andersen, Scotty, Toninho

Might be showing my age a bit now, but when I started going to speedway in the early 80's if a rider veered (sp?) to the left or right and halted another riders progress within 30mts of the start he was excluded (or should have been). As much as I like TRick that was bang out of order in heat 24 and he should have been thrown out of the race

If Adams rode like that every time, how many times would he have been World Champion by now

Thats the lad, cant believe how smooth he looked

Went to watch teh Sheffield v Workington match and stopped to watch the young 'uns having a blast around the circuit, normally after heat 15 I set off home. There was one of them that really caught my eye, must have only been reallt young as the bike looked massive compared to his little frame, he wore red and balck leathers with a bike with red guards, nothing fancy. His style was superb and couldn't half slide it round the bends, just wonder if thats another one off the sheffield training conveyor belt. One point thhough that always sort of bugs me with the young ones trying their hand is that they are more bothered about flashy kevlars, bikes, helmets etc when they struggle to actually ride the bikes, surely that should all come when they are competent on teh bike or is that just me!?!?

Funneist choice of transport I've seen was what Sean Wilson turned up to Bradford in a few years before they closed. Relient Robin with a trailer attached which was pure genius, but to top it off there was a blow up doll in the passenger seat, you had to see it to believe it
