Word going around and quoted on another site is that gillman wont be running an australian title round this coming season. Would be a shame as it normally produces good racing. Poses the question as to who would or could take it on. Junior

Hows that, a few points Ivan Golding is taking money from Msa under false pretences. Authur only got the nod because Taylor Poole got hurt. Speedway bikes are in a rut, none in your home town, no sidecar track in the west and Pinjar is really only a junior track. Gillman couldnt run with locals only and i think the gold coast is the same, doesnt seem to be huge in melbourne, nsw is the only state that looks strong. Junior

Junior, you say didnt bother to ride!! Im sure you know then just how much it costs to cargo out two bikes, purchase a minimum of two airline tickets, buy a house, prepare for having a baby and live day to day. Sometimes the money just wont stretch to everything. Maybe he should have decided he was British (yer - I know he would NEVER have considered that!!), as its not so expensive is it. Its not just that simple - not bothering - and he knew he took the chance of not having a qualifier spot - but financially 2008 was a no-go. Look out 2009 though!!!! And your point is, ?, sure the riders that did compete had a few reasons not to as well, but competed anyway. Junior

Didnt really expect you to agree Big Fat Dave , knowing your a Roo fan. Ok so give the spot to the next qualifier, think it may have been Doyle. Keep going through them until you run out and then choose someone else that didnt bother to ride. Oh yeah speedway commision of Australia know all, like not selecting the best junior in australia to ride in the aussie junior title. Junior

Nothing what so ever about being a Rory fan or not, you have a qualifier, you dont ride so how can you then qualify. All you hear is how the riders dont support the aussie title, well duh i wonder why. Junior

Interesting to see that Cam Woodward has been overlooked for a qualifying berth for the Gp qualifier despite being the third placed rider in the recent australian title, his place taken by Rory Schlien. And they bitch and moan that not enough aussies take part in the aus title, why bother if you can qualify without even riding. Junior

Wish that was the reson, but the facts are there arent any solos here. Damn shame for a solo fan. Junior -

South Australia Solo Championship

Gillman made the choice to give the well traveled reserves and locals a chance to race during the Aussie Title cant please every body. Yes the locals who had another ten meetings to ride for the season, and some who werent bothered to do the aussie titles anyway. Junior -
South Australia Solo Championship
junior fan replied to em1500uk's topic in International World of Speedway
Ok, i will word it another way, only 5 locals riding in SA, four are riding in the Uk this year so probably wont ride again this season, yet they refused to run the 350s at the australian titles, snubbing potentual riders, and dont hold any practices during the summer for the riders that are coming through or arent up to racing standard as yet. Seems like a dumb attitude to me and might bite them next season when theres not an aussie sidecar title at the venue. Junior -
South Australia Solo Championship

Whats going on with the solos in Adelaide. No disrespect for the riders , but only 12 riders for a state title, first time in my memory that they couldnt put a 16 rider field together, and only 5 were locals. And i think, dont quote me,because i didnt go, that they didnt run at all last night at Gillman, certainly didnt advertise that they were on. Makes the treatment some potentual riders are getting even more mystifying, and there failure to run the 350s. Could be a sorry year next year when all the sidecars arent as keen to run there. Worrying, Junior -
Well done young Authur, word from my source said he was streets ahead and the big track was made for him. Im told the meeting was marred by a dismal effort from the referee, who made atleast three blatantly wrong calls and even was persuaded to change a right decision he had made in a heat which cost Branford any chance. Very poor from what im hearing. Junior

Definetly no 350s at gillman. Junior -
350's as support for Oz titles ??
junior fan replied to junior fan's topic in International World of Speedway
Lack of nominations meant the Solos were restricted to just six races, Taken from Gillman website about sat nights meeting. Go figure, MA bring in an anitative to try to encourage riders to progress to the next stage and a club that is and has been for a while lacking solo riders gives it the big A. Give me a break.

350's as support for Oz titles ??
junior fan replied to junior fan's topic in International World of Speedway
Not sure whats in the rule book, but the 350s are going to be running on the same track as the 500s on all the other tracks during the titles,except for of course good old Gillman. As for if the junior sidecars are going to run, who knows, mr Gillman changes his mind depending on the wind. Junior -
350's as support for Oz titles ??
junior fan replied to junior fan's topic in International World of Speedway
Seems like one person is bigger than Motorcycling Australia itself. I personally will be protesting with my feet, and wont be taking me or my family along. Interesting to see what happens next year when theres not a heap of sidecars looking for a ride there, still we can all go watch Quads going around, not. Peeved off Junior -
350's as support for Oz titles ??
junior fan replied to junior fan's topic in International World of Speedway
Hope your right Sedge,i personally was looking forward to it, but i was told last night that they arent running, and that was by someone on the commitee. Junior -
Disapointing news from Gillman is that they have decided that they dont want to run the support 350 class. From what im hearing its mainly one persons decision, doesnt seem to sensible when you consider the lack of solos in adelaide. I know if id spent the money on a 350 i would be fairly pissed. Junior
