James Grieves 20 Year Testimonial Meeting

Recommended Posts

The meeting will also be the first raced under floodlights at Ashfield, certainly in the present day period.

 

Craig McCurdy posted this on easytiger on Tuesday night -

 

"I am pleased to confirm that the floodlight trial went exceptionally well at Ashfield tonight. Courtesy of A-Plant we had three diesel operated 9m high floodlights at the track which illuminated the first and second turns.

 

James took to the track on his mini motocross bike and was delighted, to say the least, with the conditions. We will have substantial lighting in place for Sunday afternoon and intend to have the lights on from the start of the meeting (4pm). it will mean that we can comfortably get through the meeting with the last few heats, featuring a top scorers race as a grand finale, probably raced under the floodlights to maximum effect".

 

So it promises to be an exciting end to a dismal season in Glasgow, aslong as the weather is kind. It should be good watching PK and Freddie

in the top scorers race under floodlights in the final action of the season, thats if they get there :)

I hope it gets quite dark at the end in the floodlights... there is something really atmospheric and special about watching night time Speedway :approve:

micman I think you should borrow a Morton top to wear for the challenge - that will put Mr Max off! Either that or I'll bring you a Falkirk one along and he wont be able to race for laughing :sad: lol

 

Can I just check though - this race WONT be Shane Parker style will it? :shock:

I can indeed promise that this race will not be in Shane Parker style!! :D I'm guessing that my bright yellow ski suit will be enough to dazzle Mr Max so I leave him standing at the starting gate!! :lol:

micman, nice to hear you will be making an appearance! As a now southern softie you will probably need 2 sets of thermals on Sunday lol. Looks like it could be a cracking meeting - any bets on Lindgren having a good go at Shane's track record? Or Shane trying to better it! Or even Travis sneaking under the radar to claim it - he got really close this season.

At least if it's freezing it should deter Mr Parker from doing his party piece :shock::D
