kiwi 49 Posted November 4, 2003 Official attendance awaited, but now put between 8-10,000. Both me and KPjr prefer short track team racing, but I'll certainly go next year (Ivan has the rights for another 2 years, I think) and make more of a weekend of it. Wouldn't be good if it was in a nicer town though. Rosebank domain has meetings Sunday 16 and 23 Nov 1pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,969 Posted November 4, 2003 Races were all over by the first bend, only two races where riders changed postions. I wouldn't go to watch it every week.went to my first Long track meeting in Germany and must say it was poor and won`t be rushing to go again next season. Seems like most meetings here have the same riders give or take a couple and it`s always going to be between Riss and Barth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Meynell 2 Posted November 4, 2003 went to my first Long track meeting in Germany and must say it was poor The meetings on grass are generally entertaining, but I don't find the ones on genuine longtracks to be particularly interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIWIPIRATE 0 Posted November 5, 2003 Tks for all the comments. I agree New Plymouth is not the most inspiring of places, but we were "lucky?" that the motel had cocked up our booking and we "accidentally" found a lovely little 2 bedroom cottage available right opposite Pukakura Park. Mrs KP loved it, and they even left a bottle of wine for us... The Godden mounts were as listed on Ivan's web site... have to admit I raised an eyebrow as well... Would love to see a short track GP in Wellington, but I guess an Australian round would also be needed to make it worthwhile... Won't make it to Rosebank Rd - used to live in West Harbour, just up the road really! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,969 Posted November 5, 2003 the meetings on grass are generally entertaining, but I don't find the ones on genuine longtracks to be particularly interesting. Saw the Bergring meeting from Teterow on TV this year and that was much better.hope to make next years meeting,especially if they have a meeting on the speedway track after,like this year!only trouble was that it clashed with the meeting at Güstrow just down the road.They only have a few meetings per year and 2 neighbouring towns don`t even co-ordinate with each other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted November 8, 2003 Sad we have to get old isn't it? Ivan looks a bit like Norman Wisdom now, or perhaps I should just go and put my glasses on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
