The problem Peter Nahlin had was, after not riding in the night in question, he was banned for 28 days by the BSPA for withholding his services. Which prevented him earning money for the rest of the season

Why would he want to be a nine pointer ? The aim of every rider should be 7.99 so they can be employed again in 2019

Very much a meeting were the result was controlled by who was or wasn't there. But the Russians were always going to be top. The Austrians missed Harold Simon who would of reduced the Swedes impressive second place points total. As you write, Klabo would of been amongst the points as well. But Sweden raced well and deserved their second place

You are correct iris 123, Whitey is now residing in Newcastle. He received his visa and was set to travel to Russia. But now he has his ankle in plaster after an accident with a bicycle, so he didn't fly.

The Faringdon raceway was a dirt track, with a speedway track inside for training. The speedway track was maintained by parents and friends of the riders. Troy Smith, Martin Chessell and the Knappmans learnt there amongst others, Rosco had a few skids as well.

Hopefully the British boys will be there as well

I can't understand your logic with this. The engine was to be sold and used sealed where do the tuners come into this?

I was catching up with the meetings I had missed on YouTube. Having watched the Gorzow v Wroclaw play off second leg this meeting can only be described as dross

Made a mistake or moved over to keep British fans interested in a lack lustre GPS series

He came 14th in 2010, 16 points ahead of Emil Safutinov who only rode 4 of the 11 rounds.

As skidder states 0%. From the picture it looked like a flaw in the material. Quite a rare thing, but always a possibility

There was a picture posted by Rainman on facebook,the spindle nut had split

So the British speedway champion isn't the obvious choice for a qualification spot, fair enough. Perhaps the best thing to do is select the the top averaged British rider over the season, top two Craig Cook and Danny King. Maybe the best thing for the ACU track racing committee is to use Mystic Meg to select in future

As Danny King is the current British Champion, he is the obvious choice for a place. There were 15 other riders that had the chance to win and claim a qualification place.

Adam Ellis had a good meeting, his gating was perfect, he dropped a point to Lambert, who passed him in his first ride. Then in his second ride he found too much drive on the 4th turn and lost a further point. The Russian,Chugunov and the Danish rider, Jackobsen both outscored him. So you cannot blame FIM bias if Adam Ellis doesn't get a wildcard pick.

There were a few being used in the U21 qualifier in Eskilstuna today

He looked good in his first two heats 4 points, but he had a heavy fall in heat 12.

The Russian Chugnov could be a wild card on his performance today,he was just caught for the second qualifying place in the run off

Tough on Adam Ellis in the last heat, tried really hard just not enough

Really smooth performance from Lambert

Only 300 people and less than £5 entry fee

Adam Ellis was fast from the start

It looks like a good lineup Saturday at Eskilstuna. I've not seen either of the British riders race before, I will take my flag and cheer them on

Why is there a thread about Woffinden in the Premiership section ? Would it not be better in the international section which is where he rides.

Speedway in the UK would finish without the goodwill shown by the spares suppliers and unpaid volunteers. The sport has not evolved, riders not paid by clubs/ sponsors don't pay their bills. Promoter's run their clubs like used car dealers hoping for better sales next week to pay last week's bills. The whole of speedway's "food chain" is living on scraps. The sooner it becomes a honest amateur entertainment which is its real level the better. It started as a circus act and the clowns are running the show.
