That looks a fantastic job greatly appreciated, the time and effort of Ben and the team, best of luck with it, he can certainly drive though I first took notice when he was a novice in an F2 hire car winning the final after something like 4 yellow flag restarts only to get docked by an overzealous steward, for jumping a restart he was the lead car for goodness sake it’s not his fault if the car behind didn’t set off.........

Unfortunately due to work commitments I’m unable to attend , as I would of loved to have supported this event. Why are the restrictions being squeezed more and more. 10pm curfew is ok as the meeting can start earlier. But no bars selling alcohol. Wow. What has that to do with anything if the premises are cleared by 10. Draconian dictotorial madness and I really feel for the promotional team and all the staff. May Kings Lynn ride this storm and those council persons start to use them famous 2 words. COMMOM SENSE.
Andrew I will throw my support in for “those council persons”, at the first KL I would say the majority of non facecovering wearers and lack of social distancing were the people a bit fresh around the bars, on our journey home a fair few pubs, clubs etc had 20+ gatherings outside around midnight, pint in one hand cig in the other having a good night out, but their judgement and social responsibilities will have been impaired, decisions have to be made for some people..........but it will be good to get back to normal

Yes you are right with those 2 but Frag is incorrect in saying 4 each for 84 and 515.So the other two national points (the proper one ) would be Matt Newson and Im guessing Andy Smith ?( as you can tell Im no statistician )
FWJ only topped the 'grading points' 3 times this decade. The other winner was 445.
Soz my bad, I counted ‘09 to’19 lies, damn lies, and statistics and all that Mmmm makes it even closer now

Gotta go for Frankie , pretty consistent all decade , won most of the points championships (not the shootout )with 6 or 7 ?(sorry , the all season points chart !) A WF win , a couple of euro titles , same for the British ,a venray gold , at least one 240 win (bad memory ,its my age )I would wager hes the top final winner of the decade too (Carl ?) And then finally building a shale car to match the competition.
So its 515 for me
According to Colin Casserley's stats, 84 won 53 finals in the decade compared to 33 for 515. Tom was also the only driver to win a final in every season.
That’s what I was alluding to,and both won the National points 4 times (the proper one) but 515s NZ record clinched it for me

I’m with Ozzy, 515 gets my vote but only just from 84, it’s easy to forget just how well 84 has gone in the last decade until you look into it, with 318 and 390 also in the mix

That’s what I thought to, if you don’t like Stoke you wouldn’t be in a big rush, last one or notthought I read that Mark Gilbank had been injured?
the Stoke list looks pretty much the same as usual. I didnt expect much more. I suppose a driver that hardly ever races there probably isn't that bothered about racing at the last one ever, thats why there isnt a massive turnout

Billy you could ask Ozzy to come with the Land Rover and big chain, I’m sure he’d pull everyone out, a tenner a time?Aren't we supposed to be all parking in a field at Northampton tomorrow???

I agree with Trimal that I would think it’s more for the ones it’s been “postponed “. The weather station at Barton Mills says the rainfall for the last week was 0.5, 5.3, 1.0, 0, 1.2, 0, 0mm, hardly floods is it like John B said, we’ve had 36mm so far today and Mildenhall is due for it tomorrow.....who would be a promoter, like they said damned if you do damned if you don’t

Seems to me them 2 Scots men knew what they were doing!They were going to uprate the f2 national series points following Sheffields cancellation. What on earth will they do now?! Theres basically one date any rearranged fixture f1/f2 could potentially be and thats day before the f1/f2NS finals

I always thought of Steve as like a reincarnated Mike Parker, you might not always agree with the bloke, you might not always like how he operates, but we will damn sure miss him when he’s gone, stick at it SR

Is that more booked in than the original fixture?

I watched some of the doggies on Tuesday night on sky just to see how bad the track was, I noticed the fence was still up but suppose that’s a speedway thing not a Greyhound thing, anyway it still looked a bit grim down the back straight even though the weather wasn’t half as bad as forecast over the weekend

The Speedhive lap charts has 346 with a 23.8 second lap on 17 and 211 with a 24.7 on lap 18, both 463 laps were 17.2. As I say as clear as mud, but that looks like 346 was a lap down on 211 when they tangled or the loop missed him at some stage

Yes there definitely is a need for this post, if you are writing a history of the sport and facts are wrong then it might be a good read but it is a story book. I corrected some facts once in an article and like you with Graham someone had a right go at me, perhaps you are right about contacting the author. I have not read the book but of the points raised, with his background I know Graham is right
