Newcastle might struggle with a top 4 of Guest Guest Rider Replacement Derek Sneddon What a bloody season -
The Buildbase British Final.
Chewbacca replied to Nigel Lomas's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Was hoping Robbo would shine in this meeting after watching his first 4 imperious heat wins last night but he must have written off his #1 bike in heat 15 and his #2 bike didn't look anywhere near as quick. -
To be fair it is the only difference these days.

By lad he was brilliant

Probably the real reason Clewsy retired. -
Benfund 2011
Chewbacca replied to Blazeaway's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Poor racing and the silencers made it seem like they were riding around on mobility scooters. Sorry Brummies but there has to be SOME noise coming out of the back of a speedway bike. Highlight was the two codgers playing YMCA on the piano accordion and tuba before the meeting. Pleased there was a big turnout for the ben fund. -
Adrian Rymel's Testimonial 26/03
Chewbacca replied to Indy's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I'll be there -
Indeed there are houses within 75 metres of the pit gate at Brough Park. Having said that, as far as I'm aware, the promotion have been warned that if they ever close the speedway down, that would be it. They are allowed to race courtesy of being there first. If they shut down and need to reapply they would be turned down on noise grounds.

THE most amazing thing I ever saw at the speedway was Bruce Cribb riding his ice bike on shale. I remember him breaking the lap record at Brough Park by about 12 seconds on a very wet track!!

Best rider in the league wins PLRC shocker! Well done Kenni. I'm now hoping Rene can win it as a Diamond next year.

Reasonably central to the edges of the island? the motorway network? -
George Stancl Farewell Meeting - 27th Sept 2010
Chewbacca replied to PORGIE's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Certainly some good rumours going around -
Peter Craven Memorial Trophy - Belle Vue
Chewbacca replied to Rob B's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Will be interesting to see how Kenni Larsen goes. He is on fire at the moment in the PL. Probably the best, or at very least, most in-form rider from the 2nd tier. BV should suit as it a greyhound track similar to Brough, although with much less dirt on it whenever I have been. He is certainly ready for the EL. -

Good luck with this George. Can't wait to see who is riding. -
James Grieves 20 Year Testimonial Meeting
Chewbacca replied to Murray93's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Thoroughly enjoyed watching James at Brough and hope to get to this meeting -
Doesn't matter when you're 12. It's still funny.

Saw them at Brough Park and can remember giggling all day as Barry Wallace insisted on pronouncing Vaclav as Farts Laff
-
Surely this is a reward for spending the money to cover the track? It means these meetings can be properly promoted and/or televised safe in the knowledge that they will go ahead on the planned date.

I think BSI/IMG should be looking at South Africa for a potential Grand Prix. Apparently all of the football world cup stadiums are struggling to find a use after the competition. This might make them offer an attractive rental. There is a history of speedway in SA unlike some of the countries they are looking at, and the time zone means they can still show it live on tv in Europe.

If it saves them from having 'white elephant' stadiums on their hands they just might. -

I was hugely impressed with Bobby Beaton when he was a Diamond. For the first six weeks of his career with us I used to stand there thinking "where on earth is he going now?" as he covered every square inch of the Brough Park track but he was just sussing out out all of the possible lines and he later became capable of passing people on lines that no-one else had ever used around the place. Great rider.
