Glenn,
Your mail raised some interesting points, so I've copied my reply to the
list as well.
>I suspect the British Final goes along a similar line.
The introduction of the GP is obviously the major factor in the devaluation
of the national championships, but a number of other factors are also to
blame. The trend in recent years to ride under 'flags of convenience' (e.g.
Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands) to get easier passage into, and
through the World Championship has also played it's part.
I don't blame these smaller countries for adopting liberal policies because
in return for a licence, a rider is usually required to compete in several
domestic meetings. For the likes of the Netherlands, having Armando
Castagna or Simon Wigg in the national championship was a coup.
Nevertheless, where inequities exist in a system, people will exploit them,
In particular, I am referring to the skewed GP qualifying system that is
perpetuated by the FIM. The Continental countries have proportionally more
places than the Intercontinental countries, and their qualifying path is
relatively easier to negotiate. Faced with the choice of riding through
several rounds of the (hard-fought) British Championship, followed by the
Overseas and Intercontinental Finals, is it any wonder some riders took the
easier option?
In addition, the BSPA seems to have shown little interest in the British
Championship in the past few years. At one time, there were several rounds
held around the country that involved riders from most teams. These days,
we're down to a couple of rounds that involve a limited number of the same
riders. Those that do compete hardly seem to be bothered.
Finally, in most sports I think there is increasingly less emphasis on
international representative competitions. As international club
competitions become more popular (e.g. in football, rugby union, rugby
league), the conflict between the clubs that pay the salaries, and the
countries that generally don't, will inevitably increase. I'm not sure this
is necessarily a bad thing as certainly in England (less so in Scotland I
believe), people are more enthusiastic about their club than their country.
Certainly Oxford fans were happier when Hans Nielsen won the world title
than when Gary Havelock did the same.
In conclusion, perhaps the British Championship should just be scrapped,
with the British representatives for the GP Qualifying Rounds seeded on the
basis on their averages (it would actually be a fairer method). This could
be replaced by something like a League Riders Championship Series, with a
round at each track instead of the pointless open meetings that get held.

Kevin Meynell

Subject: Fwd: Costa Mesa Results - April 29, 2000
Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 18:16:57 EDT
Gary Hicks won his second consecutive Scratch Main in front of a large crowd
as Costa Mesa officially kicked off the 2000 season with the Coors Light
Season Opener.
The first attempt never got underway as Charlie Venegas got into the tapes.
Venegas was penalized 20 yards for his infraction. Bobby Schwartz made a
beautiful trap from the outside on the restart but carried to much momentum
into turn two and drifted wide. Hicks capitalized on the mistake and shot
underneath Schwartz. Schwartz attempted to get back in front but the
traction wasn't there. Hicks took command of the race and never looked back.
Schwartz maintained second, Shawn McConnell was third. Venegas was able to
pass Jim Estes, who was very impressive in winning his heat and semi, to get
fourth.
Venegas was able to overcome his frustrating experience in the Scratch Main
to win the Handicap Main. The Handicap Main was loaded with back-yardage
riders as the closest riders to the tapes were 40 yards away. Randy
DiFrancesco was able to beat fellow 40-yard riders Eddie Castro and Gary
Ackroyd to turn one and take the lead on lap one. Venegas, starting from the
50, got a great start and was able to get under Castro and Ackroyd on the
back straight. As Venegas was hunting down DiFrancesco, Brad Oxley roared
through the pack and was in third on lap two. Venegas patiently closed the
gap on DiFrancesco and on lap five he forced a mistake and took the lead.
Venegas stretched his lead all the way to the checkered flag. Oxley finished
second, Hicks finished third, Castro fourth, McConnell fifth, and DiFrancesco
drifted all the way back to sixth.
Danny Perkins made it two-for-two in the year 2000 as he was victorious again
in the Support Main Event. The Support Main began interestingly enough with
the father-son combination of Phil and Shawn Harmatiuk lined up next to each
other on the 10-yard line. 16 year old Shawn, beat his father to turn one
and opened up a seemingly comfortable lead. Meanwhile, Perkins was picking
his way through traffic and was in third place at the close of lap two.
Perkins went around Phil Harmatiuk and set his sights on Shawn. Perkins
tried the outside but wasn't able to get by. As they exited turn four on lap
three Harmatiuk went wide and Perkins was able to get under the young rider
and take the lead. Perkins, who didn't race for over a decade before
returning late last year, took the victory, Billy Lyons was second, and Bill
McCarley was third.
Kevin Fereira made the long trip from Northern California to win the Support
B Main Event. Fereira was alone on the 10 yard line and led the pack through
turn one. Howard Larson, the Spring Classic winner, came out of turn two in
second. Fereira and Larson battled for three laps with Larson looking like
he would make a pass on several occasions. Larson had some trouble going
into turn three the final time and Fereira was victorious, Paul Hitchcock
exploited Larson's mistake and took second, while Larson recovered for third.
Former National Champion Chris Manchester made an appearance tonight with
disappointing results. He made it to the Handicap Semi, but was unable to
transfer to the main and he failed to get out of his Scratch Heat.
Manchester indicated that he has moved back to Southern California and will
be competing at Costa Mesa every Saturday. Having the former Belle Vue Ace
on the program will be an exciting addition to Southern California speedway.
