Jamie is taking a break from the sport apparently. Big lack of confidence. Hope he comes back to the sport in his own time.

Pity. I thought he improved a lot last year.

Made my first visit to Buxton since re-opening,on Sunday 24 May.

I would like to say a big thank you for everyone who put time effort and money in to venture.

However I do fear for it. Start time was nearer to 3.30 than the stated time. I appreciate ambulance was late, but rider introductions could have been done without this.

Meeting just seemed to take ages. Noticed some leaving as early as heat 8. 

I had hoped to leave shortly after 5pm, having watched both NL and MDL match.

When an interval was announced at 5.20 pm, with only 12 races completed, a few others joined me in leaving.

Wonder how many will return. Thankfully didn't have the usual Buxton cold weather.

A few simple and easy changes needed.

Buxton has always been an afternoon into the evening out it’s not a time constrained place. It doesn’t need to be, I feel the majority like this and probably know this. Why rush. Nothing needs to change.

Such a shame, looked very promising last year, easy to say with hindsight but shouldn't have moved up to the Champ so early in his career.

But then a rider like Ingram after one NDL season with a sub 6.00 ave is having no difficulty.

It obviously does if people leave well before the end...

You seem to  have a Speedway promoters outlook....

"This is what you get, like it, or lump it, and don't give me any adverse feedback as I am quite happy with what I deliver, thankyou very much"....

Quite agree with all you say.

I’m a diehard who has travelled the world to watch Speedway but yesterday at Buxton was a tough watch! Still at least it didn’t take 7 hours and 15 minutes which it once took at a meeting that I went to in Argentina!
