dirt 0 Posted December 21, 2010 I can understand why people find it difficult at times to find out news. When people have news and would like to share it with speedway fans, they get questioned and challenged. Sometimes its best to keep the info to yaself I actually said I thought you wouldnt "make it up" thats why Id give you the benefit of the doubt. and why I quoted your number on this topic, as I believed you???? You seem to think I am challenging you, or questioning you, when infact I believed you all along. Can you understand what I'm saying? maybe a re -read is in order as nothing was said against you.

Bavarian 768 Posted December 26, 2010 Tyrepower Sydney Speedway General Manager, David Tapp, will leave his present role in mid January, 2011 after reaching agreement with the venue’s Board of Directors. “David Tapp was recruited earlier this year in a consultancy role and his tenure at the venue was always only going to be for a limited time,” explained TSS director Dennis Loudoun. “Sydney Speedway P/L acknowledges that David has other business interests and his Television Company, Power Productions, takes up a great deal of time and he needs to concentrate on his own activities going forward having put the foundations in place for a bright future at Tyrepower Sydney Speedway. “David has overseen a cultural change at the speedway, has grown sponsorship by forty percent and renewed Tyrepower as principal sponsor for a further three year term, among many other things. We really do appreciate the effort David has put in and only wish his stay could have been a little longer,” Mr Loudoun added. Mr Tapp’s imminent departure from the venue will lead to a re-structure and to that end former venue promoter, David Lander, will return to Tyrepower Sydney Speedway in the capacity of General Manager. Mr Lander will be assisted by current senior staff members Rod Britton, Stacey Kelly and Nathan Moreau. David Lander’s return to the venue is seen as a real coup for Sydney Speedway Pty Ltd. “We are thrilled to have a man of David’s experience involved at the venue and we are delighted he has agreed to join us,” Dennis Loudoun explained. “David has been one of Australia’s most successful speedway promoters and his vast knowledge and experience will play a significant role in taking the speedway into an exciting new era”. Meantime, David Tapp, says David Lander’s return to the venue is great news for the sport in Sydney. “There is no doubt the most successful ever era at Tyrepower Sydney Speedway was during the period David Lander was at the helm and his return is a very positive development. I wish him all the best. I have enjoyed my stint at TSS and I would like to thank the four owners; Dennis Loudoun, Brett Morris, Garry Rush and Rod Bowen for their support and assistance,” David concluded.

SCOTLAND1314 121 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Undera speedway was a magic night out. Max Fricke really impressed during the Vic Junior Solo Championship. The wee man was largely untroubled but even when he was behind he was cool picked his moment and nipped by his opponent. Others that looked good were Jack Halls, Cooper Riordan, Jack Fallon and Lindsay Phillips. As for the Vic (senior) Solo Championship, Justin Sedgemen was unlucky, Mark Jones got off to a decent start but faded, Joey Ringwood was someone I'd never heard of but looked very good in all of his races, Jake Anderson looked the best I'd seen him race, Cory Gathercole started slow but built up to a good race with Proctor in the final, Proctor was the entertainer of the meeting with a third to first tussle in his first and a ding dong battle with Gathercole in the last. The two solo titles plus some mad sidecars provided 48 heats of entertainment and a good night out. Thanks to the said 'announcer' (and BFD for putting me in touch) for transporting me to the stadium, it was much appreciated. Next stop for speedway action... Mildura.

BigFatDave 258 Posted December 29, 2010 How come Cam didn't ride? No reason given officially. I know he's putting a lot of effort into OzChamps but, with limited edition T shirts available from his Mum. Good to see Robert Branford getting a ride in his place tho' as MA had originally lost his application form. Sadly I won't be able to see how much he's come on this past year as his only other planned ride is in the SA Solos. From the sounds of it he had a good one: Redcar will do well with him & Spud, I might just hafta watch him over your way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
