ps Travis looked fab! Would love to see him break the track record this year I think the current track record is pretty irrelevant due to the changes made to the track in the winter. I take it the track has to be officially lengthened/shortened for the record to be wiped? Just by watching Travis you can tell he's much faster than everyone else, owning Shane twice the other week proved it, However I can't see him getting close to 56.2secs which is a shame because he's by far the fastest man on the track in its current state.

These are all changes they may or may not be significant changes but the track is certainly not like it was when the track record was set, making it, imo irrelevant.

It's the same every week. All I can say is thank god for Travis McGowan, we'd be the laughing stock of British Speedway without him. I'm worried about the sheer lack of points elsewhere, the team is full of mediocrity. Don't get me started on Penfold. Whoever recommended this dud should be shot. 2 points from about 5 meetings sums him up. I personally will drive him to the airport. Can see Redcar getting something next week, all it takes is for McGowan to have an off day. Your comments about Michael Penfold are unnecessary and cruel. You have singled out a young teenage boy who is struggling to adapt to a new and strange environment whilst missing his family. Do you think Michael wanted his speedway dream to turn out like this?

Something has definitely been adapted that has upset the racing at ashfeild.

Something has definitely been adapted that has upset the racing at ashfeild. 15 heats with no passing on Sunday, that i can think of. Whilst signing Joe and Nick will give us a lift meantime we really need a track the guys can perform on. Anyone going wide is losing yards every time.

Don't get me started on Penfold. Whoever recommended this dud should be shot. 2 points from about 5 meetings sums him up. I personally will drive him to the airport. As has already been mentioned, your comments are uncalled for and below the belt, aimed at a young guy away from home. I'm sure he realises he isn't up to PL standard without you sticking the boot in. Maybe he stuck in at school instead and learned to spell pitty (sic). I can see from your other postings that you seem to be entirely negative in your comments regarding the Tigers, so maybe you're from the dark side. Even your name is designed as a wind up, so maybe you should change that.....can I suggest Hugh Anchor ;D

Mate, if you can slag the guy any better then I'm all for hearing it. Name designed as a wind up? McGowanGONE..in other words he's gated and he's GONE. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me.
