rhidassa 73 Posted October 21, 2007 Stiltonpanther - you're right there. Robert Lambert was certainly looking impressive - I'd imagine in 10 years time he'll definitely be one to look out for. Anyway.. Good racing, good fireworks. Enjoyable day.. And the last race was certainly entertaining thanks to Mr. Bridger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Star 6 Posted October 21, 2007 What happened in the most important race of the day ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhidassa 73 Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) First attempt Laurence had engine problems a-plenty. Later on it was completed, with Mike winning, but both staying on for 4 laps. Steve Hone and Colin Cage also raced at the end. (And Steve stayed on his bike for all 4 laps!) Not sure how much was raced etc. Edited October 21, 2007 by rhidassa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,430 Posted October 21, 2007 Steve Hone and Colin Page also raced at the end. (And Steve stayed on his bike for all 4 laps!) Not sure how much was raced etc. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it was Colin Cage from Norwich New Stars Grasstrack, former Mildenhall rider too. for me getting on the track it was over £100 raised which i am really pleased with, and many thanks to Wayne Dunworth for everything. and rhidassa, you better remind your old man to pay up on Wednesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Wow, what a bumper motorcycling afternoon, 16 heats of senior speedway racing, 8 heats of junior grasstrackers including the number 2 in GB in his class, Robert Lambert, very impressive young man!, 2 CL heats and 3 old codgers heats There were some very competative heats in the main meeting, especially the last one which was a classic thanks to the efforts of Lewis Bridger, Leigh Lanham, Tacey and Iversen with Lanham not being denied! Also cost Trevor Swales another tenner for Steady as apparently for every heat that a Peterborough rider wasn't placed he pledged a note, nice touch! So the newest track record is 49.81 seconds by Kenneth Bjerre, bet it will stand for some time!! It was EASY, EASY, EASY for MB in his match races with Laurence, obviously been practising hard eh Mike .................... and another KL win!!!! The other match race between Honie and Colin errr?? was fun, pleased to say that Honie stayed aboard the bike and even got the back wheel out a couple of times, well done that man ............... stupid but brave haha I owe ya, or rather Steady, some dosh!! I forgot to mention to fireworks which were ACE ............ A1!! Edited October 21, 2007 by Trees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted October 21, 2007 TBH bloke, I was a little worried you might fall off and do yourself some mischief, relieved u stayed upright lol Apparently I got the Trev Swales donation thing wrong, apparently the whole team were gonna pay a tenner if anyone scored a duck egg .......... hehehehe £20 a piece then!!!

M08 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Not a bad meeting, although it was a shame that Mildenhall came 4th in the finish. Chris Schramm was excellent again around West Row - SIGN HIM UP MAIN MAN!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wong 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Good to see both Horton brothers really getting into the spirit of the Big Bang by turning up in fancy dress, Colin coming as one of the blues brothers and Mick as a fluffy rabbit <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LMAO Great afternoon though, and the fireworks were excellent, a fine end to a difficult but enjoyable season. Well done Simon, Mainman, Blane ETC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhilK 150 Posted October 21, 2007 Excellent end to a long hard season. Well done to Simon, Laurence, Blane, Dub, Vic, Nikko and all the trackstaff etc who have ensured we have had some fine meetings to enjoy. Hopefully the crowds will continue to improve, and now sponsors will start to come back to Mildenhall and help secure a stable future for the club. Today was excellent, track record broken 3 times, some very competitive racing, a few laughs and a brilliant firework display to send everyone home happy for the winter. The youngsters too put on a fine show to add to the entertainment and as said the fancy dress was another little sideshow lmao!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maccas 1 Posted October 21, 2007 I really enjoyed my day out today! I had been told that Mildenhall produces some great racing (last time I had been there I was in a pushchair!) and I definately wasnt disappointed. Loved the racing, Loved the fireworks and its great that all that money was raised for Stead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
