Bryn 413 Posted November 26, 2004 (edited) Will be taking myself off to Wagga Wagga this Saturday for the big longtrack meeting being held there and promoted by Terry Poole.

Now perhaps you can confirm / deny the truth in something I've been told.... Is it REALLY true that Johnno is amongst 8 riders spending next week at the Institute of Sport or whatever it's called in Canberra? Has it got a bar????

Guest Pin$tripe Posted November 26, 2004 Wato should win that meeting with his eyes closed, apart from Batchelor who is no where near as good as Watson yet, who can beat him? Would be surprised to see Wato get beat all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Pinny, I think you're under estimating some of them Aussies. They're pretty good at there long track over there. Wato shoudl be favourite but there are a couple of rider who can beat him, Lee Herne for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryn 413 Posted November 28, 2004 (edited) Quick Result: Australian Longtrack Final finishing order Troy Batchelor Rodney McDonald Jason Stewart Luke Gough Danial Mason Louis Myer Jay Herne Cory Gathercole TY Platt James Holder Strider Horton DNF Craig Watson DNF Wato machine probs (blown engine?) prior to start of final at startline after winning his 3 heats! PA somewhat temperamental (probably due to heat!) millions of weird & wonderful insects decscended on the stadium (normally used for trotting races!) once floodlights swithched on! Good to catch up with all & sundry especially Wato, Matt Jones (victoria) and dad Gary, Strider Horton & HIS dad Gary, Lee Herne & his missus (!), Troy Batchelor etc., etc. Caught 11.40pm coach from Wagga to Mildura arriving here at 9.20am...as I moved in...Kev Doolan set off back for Adelaide after riding here last night finishing second.

SCB 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Seems the meeting was something of a joke with no start marshall, then start marshalls who didn't know what they were doing and causing Wato to think the final was about to start, so started to rev the bike only for the race not to start and Wato's bike to stop.

Whacko 0 Posted November 28, 2004 sounds like Watto is preparing to ride for the Diamonds, he has already learned from the great words of george english. ...if only middlo was newcastle's team manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinstripe 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Middlo made the journey from Scott Smiths flat in Brisbane to watch Wato ride, and shed some tears when Wato blew his engine. Thank god it wasnt a good engine he is using for Newcastle this year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
