Why do they put so much water on the track before the start ? I couldnt find anywhere to stand where i didnt get covered in wet shale. Is this the Norm here ?

Always difficult to judge at Scunny, stong winds around there even on sunny days as you may have noticed.

The covering in wet shale only lasted a couple of heats then the track dried out, anyway, whats the problem? thats part of the enjoyment.........

On Ebay you will find a 3' Teddy Bear wearing a replica Wayne Carter Farewell Meeting Race Jacket up for auction with the proceeds going to Wayne's Farewell Fund.

 

It is worth a bid for the (wearable) race jacket alone!!!

 

Teddy is as laid back as Wayne himself and is totally house trained. Very soft and cuddly and bidding would be a great way to add to the fund if you were unable to make it along on Sunday

 

Don't worry about postage as I'm sure he can be delivered to almost any track via a rider or two

 

The item number is 180103579279 > Happy bidding

Being covered in shale is and has always has been part of speedway, having been a fan for over 40 years now I always feel going to Scunny is watching a 'real' old fashioned speedway meeting where you went home covered in shale and dust! Oh the good old days!!!

Years since I was cover like that, but must admit that I deep down enjoyed it, copped a few in the face, but at least I did not get one in the mouth, like I once did when I was younger.

young junior come away even more happy as his bid for Lee  Complin's race bib was accepted at the auction, and it now sits proudly on his bedroom world with Lee's and Wayne's signature on it (Lee was his first ever favourite rider).

when the bidding 'threatened' to go above juniors limit i was going to offer to pay the difference such was his excitement and eagerness to get that jacket!the look on his face would have made it worth it.thanks to hoggy for his auctioneering skills!

Middle of the back straight is the place to be - we didn't get more than a couple of little splodges during the first couple of heats! WE found this out last year at the Dream Team meeting - when we got plastered standing on the home straight!

Not sure what this has to do with DVD's.

Well done to Wayne and his committee, for put on an excellent show that I think everybody enjoyed, young junior come away even more happy as his bid for Lee  Complin's race bib was accepted at the auction, and it now sits proudly on his bedroom world with Lee's and Wayne's signature on it (Lee was his first ever favourite rider).

          Would like to wish Wayne all the best and hope that he still comes down to Sheffield on Thursday.

Lovely story SK, I'm pleased for Junior, I'm sure it will be a treasure. I know the excitement of winning a race jacket at auction. I got Wayne's race jacet at Peter Carr's 25 yr Testimonial, and as luck would have it, managed to get Peter's at Wayne's.

 

A great day all round
