SteveEvans 248 Posted August 18, 2010 Very pleased to confirm that we will be at Ipswich on the 14th of October, most likely versus a team of PL level or thereabouts. Many thanks to Chris Louis who has been a pleasure to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveEvans 248 Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Lots happening behind the scenes, talking to a lot of tracks with a lot of ideas! Also hoping to finalize the team and there are a couple of big names hopefully in the frame for the final team place! One rider, who we only approahed yesterday is a wily veteran and one of the greatest showmen ever to rider a speedway bike! No promises, but would love him to come over!

SteveEvans 248 Posted August 21, 2010 We've added a rider as our number 8 for this tour - veteran Robbie Sauer. Robbie has been racing for close to 20 seasons on the domestic scene and was runner up at the recent Best Pairs Championship at Victorville. He is included in the squad as our number 8, though he will get riding opportunities at most meetings. He's a great guy and whilst a somewhat unlikely rider choice on one hand, he epitomises the clubman rider who makes up 80% of rider entry in your typical American Speedway meeting. http://www.speedwaybikes.com/rw/urobbi_s.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveEvans 248 Posted August 24, 2010 Its becomes vogue for our riders to rent bikes when they come to the UK. We are 75% covered but still short by a couple. If anyone has equipment we could borrow or rent, please PM me. Our base is in the Midlands area. NL / PL standard please. Best Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
