Speedway racing in this Country is on the crest of a slump at the minute, lets hope tonight's SGP can put a smile back on the face of British speedway and remind us that our sport can be good at times.
That`s how it was announced at Berwick last weekend, all the teams top three were added with the lowest team missing, sadly for them that meant Newcastle.
Aaron Summers had a rare outing today in the Polish league where he scored 5pts for Wanda Krakow in their home defeat to ROW Rybnik, the meeting ended 27-63...ouch.
Theo Pijper has had a decent day in the second Speedway Longtrack GP in Holland where in finished 4th in the Final, the meeting was won by Martin Smolinski.
That and Scunthorpe were not much more than a three man team, though guest Covatti did splutter into life in Ht12, Gino Manzaries was an embarrassment. Hopefully Danny Phillips will be back very soon after his crash and withdrawal.
