Did anyone else spot the news of the buyout of numerous UK Greyhound Tracks by giant US Casino operator MGM Mirage. Stock Car tracks included in the deal - prompted by impending changes in Gambling Law - include Wimbledon and Belle Vue. Its difficult to predict the impact of these changes but it is obviously important that stadia retain their raison-d'etre as sporting venues.

Since my feet are aching I thought I'd come to include a couple of pictures from the show and grab a coffee.

Big news of the day has to be the Heavy Metal Classic. Around 240 cars in a meeting that more than lived up to expectations. I was there taking pictures and extensive galleries will appear on Rolling Start although they will take a little time to sort through! Many thanks to Keith Hook and his team for their great show.

Just a couple of updates done today, the For Sale page where seven new ads have been included and three news items in the Diary. The run-up to Xmas is always quiet but as usual things now seem to be picking up apace.
Most amazing is news from Standlake of 220 cars booked in for the Heavy Metal Classic this coming Sunday. I think this is the largest-ever booking list for Rolling Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11494336193252491949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268803.post-1072994192187302102004-01-01T21:48:00.000Z2004-01-01T21:56:49.760ZTELETEXT
Has anyone else spotted this?
I wonder what the Olympics and Euro 2004 have really got to do with what might be more easily seen as weakening of the Beeb's commitment to motorsport? Teletext page 369 was good as it did include dates for some oval meetings but will the BBC website really includes such information? It does not at the moment and I guess time will tell.
