BigFatDave 258 Posted December 30, 2010 From the Gillman Site: A meeting today with the shareholders of the Tyrepower Sydney Speedway has confirmed that Round 1 of the Australian Solo Speedway Championship will go ahead at Parramatta on Wednesday night, 12 January. There has been much speculation about the event since David Tapp announced his departure as the speedway manager, but the new Sydney Speedway Manager, David Lander, today confirmed all will be set to showcase Motorcycle Speedway in Australia’s biggest city on January 12. “It’s great news”, said 10 times National Champion Leigh Adams, “all looks sweet and we will make it happen. We just need everyone to get behind this event in Sydney as we are hoping to take Australian Speedway forward and what better place than in the largest city in Australia”. Gillman Speedway Manager David Parker, who liaised with Sydney officials today, said,” I am really happy that all is going to plan and as with Leigh I really want this meeting to work. With Dave Lander at the helm I have a lot of faith that this meeting will run in the true tradition that Lander has done at all of his venues, the man is a genius”. One other comment that Parker put forward was that he was "quite adamant that this meeting may not have gone ahead without the intervention of Motorcycling Australia’s David White”. Thank Yog-Sothoth for that! Otherwise I'd have been stuck in me little hotel in Sydderney - lovely place, they change the sheets every hour - with nothing much to do except guzzle a year's supply of Viagra - stiff! Dave Lander, who promotes the 4 wheel type of Speedway at Lismore, will be well-known to older forum members; he promoted the ill-fated Sydney GP back in the day.

Lynette Schlein if 'proper gander' forums arent the place to find out (I agree btw) perhaps it isnt the place to put out an appeal for an official call either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigFatDave 258 Posted January 4, 2011 It would have been good to contact the riders, especially the ones who hadn't left Pomgolia yet. I caught Davey at Heathrow and Lynette was the first person I contacted when I found out - by pure luck - that Parra was off. I can understand Boydie putting it on the web 'cos that's how most of us find out anything Down Under - only one club consistently updates it's site; the rest is down to mates keeping each other informed.

BigFatDave 258 Posted January 5, 2011 If you think the BSPA are bad, welcome to the wonderful world of MA - Round One of OzChamps is now OFF - first it was at Parramatta - then it was at Kurri Kurri - now it's a four round comp starting on January 15th - time to change me bookings - AGAIN!!

BigFatDave 258 Posted January 7, 2011 That's not a very good thing for Australian speedway. Let's hope that the series doesn't shrink any more. With all the rain up in Queensland it's not the only thing that's shrinking lately - might hafta consult my Siamese Herbalist mate for a cure! Anyhow, all the smart money is down at Gillman in the sunshine while we sit around praying for Blue Skies - so far so good. If it des rain we're having a Barbie at Trackman's tonight - we won two meat trays at the local Nerang RSL last night! . Howd'ya like ya steak burnt, cuz?
