2012 Australian Solo Championships Qualifiers And Seeded Riders

[2012 Australian Solo Championships Qualifiers And Seeded Riders]

BFD Talking of sheep stations, many years ago I saw a programme about a relay race in Australia between two cities or towns. There was a group of people in each team who travelled in a vehicle and each person took it in turns to run a distance. The programme showed the intense training of a few of the teams, running up mountains with heavy loads on their backs and the individuals were testing themselves to the limit. Each of the support vehicles has hi-tech equipment such as heart monitors etc because of the conditions in which the teams were running in.

The last team they talked to was a group of shearers. We train very hard they said, and what about the equipment you have in your vehicle asked the interviewer. That is a secret they said we will show you at the start when the vehicle is loaded.

 

The tv crew turned up at the start and spoke to the teams, most of whom were limbering up and taking on fluids for the race.

 

They then spoke to the shearers who were sat under a tree. Where is your support vehicle asked the crew?. Oh it will be here soon its in town getting our supplies.

 

When the vehicle turned up it was full of beer. Dont you want to do well in this race, no was the answer just get pissed.

 

We used to get a few programmes about mad Australian sports but not any more,

 

Anyway have a great time this weekend and , if you are posting an update, will look forward to reading it

Good idea The Little Un

[New Year Classic 2012]

Very good idea about holding a speedway fair with the option to show new merchandise and get rid of last years, each club could also offer any DVDs of meetings at their track.

I'm giving it a miss. Got to bath and raining heavy. Shame.

If it is raining that heavy you could save water by stripping off and running round outside

.....and fulla POMS!

BFD in parts of London there are more Australians than English. My sister lives next to one area and when ever I visit we always go to an old English pub which is always full of Australians. The atmosphere and banter is great especially when cricket or rugby between our two nations is taking place, it gets even better when we beat you.

A happy new year to all speedway supporters
