Guest Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Con Migro, the man-in-charge, at the Perth Motorplex in West Australia, has just sent me this email message re Tai Woffinden: "World Speedway champion "TERRIFIC" Tai Woffindin was back home in Perth for short time. "The mighty champion raced a Wingless Sprint Car and demonstrated he is just as skilled on four as he is on two wheels." The photos, taken by Peter Roebuck, can be viewed at - http://midgetcarpanorama.proboards.com/thread/1289/tai-woffinden-sprint-car Edited January 27, 2014 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 27, 2014 I think the quote about Tai "coming home' is probably for home town reference in Oz. He grew up in the Perth, West Australia, are after his family including dad Rob Woffinden emigrated there. It was an indirect quote from Perth Motorplex boss Con Migro and not a substantive personal quote by Tai Woffinden. As I see it there's no need for anyone to get their personal underwear in a twist over something that is from a West Australian Press Release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 27, 2014 Anyone reading the Leigh Adams update article in the Star a couple of weeks ago, will know only too well that Leigh believes the current World Champion is truly Australian!! But are there any contra quotes on 'being British' by Tai Woffinden? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conkers in Gravy 120 Posted January 27, 2014 I think the fact that Tai was born in Scunthorpe, lives in Britain, has a British family and rides under a British licence should give you a clue as to his nationality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryn 413 Posted January 27, 2014 If anyone after reading the clues you've given in your posting Conkers still fails to grasp the fact that Tai is indeed British, then I fear I might have severe neck problems as a result of shaking my head in sheer disbelief!

What clues would they be Bryn ? the Australian Flag tattoed between his shoulder blades , helping the Aussies at WTC while being part of team GB , referring in conversations to Perth being "Home" and where he will return when he stops riding , finding the Time each winter to return "home" for a short Break before returning to England to to his summer job. your head could well be shaking but it's more likely to be Parkinsons disease than disbelief if you go around with open eyes ears and mind . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lioness 1,472 Posted January 28, 2014 Personally I find the comment on Parkinsons disease here to be at best very distasteful and certainly very ignorant. I suggest you go and find out a little about said condition before making stupid ill informed remarks about it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
