Chris just needs to ride his bike, his demeanour was very positive y'day and some good scores early on will do his confidence the power of good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedflash 242 Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I would like to thank all the track staff, they put the air fence up yesterday which was a massive job in the conditions. The track held up ok. Needs a week of good weather to harden the surface up. The guys helping yesterday were great, a lot of knowledge so they were telling me where there are small problems with the surface that appear during a meeting. The rakers are there week in week out and see things with the track that most don't see, so working with them will be good. Glyn.

Just Torun put up a post yesterday saying that he was having visa issues. But the most important thing is a happy Chris Holder and a fast one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford never found him, he found Ford (via Mick Poole). Mick Poole contacted Ford when Peterborough failed to do anything about signing Chris after he'd had a couple of after meeting spins round Alwalton on machinery borrowed from Jason Crump. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
