Main Man

Would be nice to also see some of the proceeds used to help fund the Americans of the future --The USA Dream Team who will be heading for the UK again next April for a tour who finance the trip entirely themselves.

Good luck to all the boys --look forward to seeing the result. The most important thing is that the league has happened , has gone down well --and Steve and Gary have been able to look at the riders in readiness for the US Dream Team tour 2006 which looks like being in April. Congratulations to all concerned with getting this off the ground and hopefully it will now be a feature of US racing at this level for many years to come.

We may have to call a national holiday on dec 4 ?? packed yet young bryn ?

Well it's nearly time to go. Both Bryn and I fly out on Monday to different locations --but we'll all be together on Sat Dec 3rd at Gillman for what I think is going to be a night of nights!! Shane has certainly organised a great show at Gillman --full of everything and knowing Shane that will definitely mean everything !! Will be thinking of you all back here --honest!!

I'm sure that Bryn and I will try and post a report back of Shane's meeting (after the hangovers have gone ??? ).

well done to Tim and Dario -- and perhaps the new u-21 champ will be in line to join us in the Dream Team 2006 ??

Think Matt Bates had better change his name to Ben just for the final so that the Cobras can have five Ben's in their line up!! So it's Benny Bates at 2 !! Great idea and good experience for the lads too. As I get back from Oz on the 8th and with this plus Chris Kerr in the main meeting looks like a journey down to Brighton for me!!

Thanks Bryn -- a Tigers fan eh!! So Trees the answer to your question is yes --I'll see what deal can be reached to get some copies back to UK for sale.

will find out --or perhaps Mr Bennett can fly out with his camera!!!

Just thought I'd bring Parks' meeting at Gillman on Dec 3rd back into the limelight. Not long now !! I fly out , first to Sydney to stay with the Hernes, on Nov 21 arriving there at the unearthly hour of 6 am (I bet Lee though there was only one 6 o'clock in the day!! ). Planning to taking in Gosford on the Saturday then will fly over to Adelaide on Dec 1st ready for the big night on the Saturday. So if you're Oz bound make it a date at Gillman Raceway, Adelaide on Saturday December 3rd. See ya there!!

I will thoroughly endorse what Steve has said having looked after him on the Dream Team tour and on his World under 21 trips to Czecho and Italy.

Thanks for the results Steve --and well done (again) to Chris Kerr!! Again good to see Shaun in the points with 16 and from the 2005 Dream team Neil with paid 10, Dale with paid 6, Tim 9 and Brian paid 10. Great stuff lads. Also looks like a few possibles going well for the 2006 Dream Team tour -- looking forward to it already!!

Look forward to meeting you Sir Lunchy!!

Look forward to meeting you too Ozyace and the gang!! Lunchy --did you say the 4th ? Hope not as Parks' meeting is on the 3rd!! On the 4th Bryn will be nursing his hangover --and as for me????

Ok. See you in Adelaide then > I go there on the Thursday (Dec 1st).

I leave on the 21st as well Bryn --don't say we've both booked the same flight!! Are you heading into Sydney first ?? If so what an amazing co-incidence!!

I take it that the Hernes are riding --so will be there with them . Tell Terry if he wants some British guy helping with the announcing I'm available!!

As I am sure he will be too!!! Lunchy --any news on the Gosford meeting Nov 26 ??

Vince -- pass on my best to Sam and here's to wishing him a swift and successful return to the track. He's come on in leaps and bounds this year and it waas such a pity his season ended in this way. All the best for the future.

Now who's dreaming???

Me too !!

Thanks Nobby -- nice to hear from you !! Takes me back to good old Oxford days of Georgie Hunter, Pip Lamb, John Hack, Carl Askew, Colin Meredith, David Shields,James Moore, Richie Cauldwell, John Homer, etc. Memories!!

How far is Kurri Kurri from Sydney ? Read that Gosford's meeting on 26th Nov may be doubtful and was planning on going to that one with the Hernes but if it's not on may try to take in the kids meeting --with my thumb out for a lift!!

Thanks for the posting of the results Steve. Was wondering how it all went as I sat doing nothing on the beach in Tenerife!! Great to see Chris Kerr get honourable mention for his team riding and his paid max --nice one mate!! Good to see Shaun Harmatiuk back in the points too with 10 -- hopefully no more concussions !! Look forward to the next rounds. Best wishes to all my friends Stateside.

Well now I'm back from sunning myself (it rained for the first day and a half!!) I will start the planning of what TMGracing has just posted. Already have some interest in the proposed trip but need to finalise a few things now --and as I head for Oz in 3 weeks for Shane Parker's 20 year meeting at Gillman I have to get my skates on --in addition to working on a new track for next year as well !! More news soon folks!! (on all fronts!)
