Just wondering if any forum members had the pleasure of visiting Brooklands! it was great for viewing the speedway (Just a wall between you and the track)! I seem to remember a Czech Rider putting either him or his bike or both over the wall! In these days of air fences, what are your views on masonary! -

Set out at 10am with my best mate who I used to go to West Ham and Romford with in the 60's, My Farther in Law and My next door neighbor! Arrived at Cardiff around 1:30! parked in purple Car park and headed off to Sams! Found Tom Thumb (looking a little worse for ware) who introduced me to Krissie! Nice to meet the boss for a friendly hug and she insisted, I sign the forum Banner! Which was a bit of a cheek as I had the others in tow, so we made our way early to the POW for a seat and something to eat! We sat in the mezzanine and I did not find any other members until I left! at this stage I had no time to talk as I was walking out with the others and did not want to hold them up! I did however bump into Norbold in the door on the way out and must apologize for not saying hello! ! As for the racing what more can I say! Arrived home at Harold Wood about 2AM. Had to get up again early to take my daughter back around the M25,M4 to play cricket on Sunday at Newbury! Seemed too be traveling all weekend! If I go next year I promise to be more sociable! PS was that Shazzybird standing next to JJ in the Bar in Sams? -

Custom House Kid replied to gillam's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
IMHO Steele made life hard for himself ! 1st Rickardsson should have been excluded in heat 20 as i felt he caused the stoppage. He by the way still had another chance in an eliminator In the Semi I felt it was more 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other but as Rickardson got away with it previously then it looked worse I do feel however if either of these incidents would have happend in an Elite league fixture, then an exclusion would have occured on both occasions and not necessarily Tony! -
