    Footwear In The Pits

    He probably does it as once he is back here in Aussie you can't wear thongs in the pits, I've seen riders rock up in thongs & next minute there wearing the racing boots! It does look funny especially if there in surf shorts! & you can't smoke in pits over here either, some people take a chance but your not suppose to.
  2. Just for all the people whinging about Rory riding in the British final, 2005 Aussie title had Adam Allott & Charlie Gjedde, 2007 had Scott Nicholls & Simon Stead, 2008 Joe Screen, Filip Sitera, Freddie Lindgren, 2010 Josh Auty & Joe Haines(joe didn't make it through the qualifier meeting), 2011 Kyle Newman. We aussie's share, why can't you lot? Peace!!!
  3. British racers are NOT allowed in any Australian championships, the same should be applied here. Just letting you know that Kyle Newman, Simon stead, Scott Nicolls, joe screen HAVE ridden in the Aussie championship's... also Ollie Allen & josh auty have won qld titles...
  4. Well, the DVD I ordered of the meeting arrived the other day in Aussie & I must say that it looked a brilliant meeting. The new BV track is awesome.... Well done to everybody...

    Davey Watt Retires

    R & R, Davey rang me last nite, I'm in Aussie & said that he has finished riding in England but will see out his contract with his polish club if need be. Well it official now, congrats on ur career brother, it's been a pleasure & a privilege being there with u from start to finish....
  7. Have you spoke to the young Pommy riders that come over here Robert72? Or are you just guessing? I've never seen or met 1 that has complained yet & I know a fair few of them... they mightn't get big money but they love drinking & fishing & not always in that order.
  8. Actually mr shovvy, Qld had a league in place about 20 years ago, pretty sure it was started by Tony & Steve langdon's dad, Ronny & Bob Cowley (Mick Doohan's mate), problem was it didn't last long as if you rode for the Townsville tigers & raced at Gold Coast it was a 14 hr trip to get there & you guessed it, 14 hrs back & when you were only getting $20/$30 a point not pounds you essentially rode for free. But it was good while it lasted... Aussies have used the British leagues as their training leagues, never making the slightest effort to get a league structure in place down under. Perhaps if such a rule was to come in, they would. Yes there are issues with distance but even a local league structure could be put in place.

    Joonas Kylmakorpi

    He did, pretty sure it was at Gillman speedway. Pretty simple fall but hurt himself again. I think he has or his selling his gear, I know 1 parent bought 2 bikes from woody.

    The only thing I seen tested the other nite at Kurri kurri was the strength of Sedgy's table after a bad ride!!

    Poole 2017

    Watty is stress free & his engine's work, he is happy with life & it is showing. He doesn't care if he wins(he would like to) he is enjoying riding his bikes & being competitive again.

    Australian Season 2016/17

    I'm pretty certain the other states have run there titles all ready, SA title was supposed to be boxing night but it got rained out. Watty rang as he is down there for it.

    Australian Season 2016/17

    Watty had to qualify in the morning to make the state titles that nite. He topped scored in the morning & equaled top scored that nite. 2 meetings in 1 day & it was hot!!!
  15. Otherwise known by many in Australia as "the COUNT without the O".......
  16. We get up at 3am very every GP here in Aussie... Just means you have a drink earlier than normal...
  17. Well, over here in Aussie, I took mum out for tea & we had roast pork, vege & gravy. Oh & I think woofy should be in team GB.

    Aussie Speedway Season

    The Qld title was a a good meeting after ht12, the track was a bit ordinary but after the last tickle it started to produce some good racing. Mason came through the qualifying meeting, so he did it the hard way as did Tyler King.i have a suspicion that some riders may pull out of the nsw title now lmo. ✌️
  19. Gotta say, that watching this from the comfort of my lounge chair & very cold jim beams, I think it's a bloody good track with some cracking racing so far. Go doyley......
  20. I thought it was a good meeting & a bloody marvellous final. We've been here 3 wks, came over from Aussie for the 250 titles in France & have met a few riders & have gotta say cookie is a absolute laugh 2 hang with. That boy loves his nando's chicken.
  21. Well I thought it was a cracking meeting. 1st time I've been there as it's along way from Aussie. Cookie was flying as was Riss. Some of the rebels need to learn about team riding. JoshyG was exactly happy afterwards.
  22. Some of the 2nd half racing was better last nite.

    Jason Crump

    I think Seth races Gokarts.
  24. Well have got to say it was awesome watching Jason Crump race again last nite at Rockhampton speedway in Queensland . Riding the fence like he used to was a sight to be hold. He lost his semi final race to 1 of the young guys he's be teaching but Ginger made up for it in the final. 1st Jason Crump, 2nd jake Allen 3rd Allen Mcdonald 4th Damo Koppe.

    Jason Crump

    I didn't ask him, but he is helping out the young kids/adults with all of his riding skools then it can only be a good thing. Maybe he might have the bug back, just a little bit....
