Endeavour 681 Posted October 18, 2021 On the way down to Wolverhampton to Roo Boy’s Meeting. Fingers crossed weather wise. Great rider for Edinburgh and a great servant to British speedway. Thanks Roo Boy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if he'd refuse to ride in his own farewell meeting if the track was slightly wet? 1 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunce 347 Posted October 18, 2021 I hope Rory has a good safe meeting, and enjoys his "retirement" back in Australia. A big thank you for his time at Kings Lynn also. I'd still be interested if somebody could explain to me how he qualified to be in the "British" Final? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr8scot 589 Posted October 18, 2021 Have a good one Rory. I was attending your meeting but sadly had to change my plans last week. We did a collection amongst the Emmerdales and friends and I hope you like the card that Len had made. You and your Mum & Dad will always have a special place in our hearts. From the day you arrived in Scotland looking 12 years old, we knew you were the real deal. Thanks for the Championships, Scottish Opens and A’Ra’Best in your retirement. Love to Lynette and Lyndon too x 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted October 18, 2021 What a great night for our Roo Boy. Hope Luke Becker is okay. Well done to winner Danny King and all the riders who supported Rory. I am sure all the blue and gold wish you a happy retirement back in Australia after your Poole matches are over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
full-throttle 182 Posted October 18, 2021 despite the weather the track held up pretty well, race times around 58sec, so not too much slower. Becker was the stand out rider for me, unlucky in the final, Good luck Rory in your 'retirement' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
