Am I the only one who mourns the fact that riders are now "picked" to take part in the World Championship rather than them having to qualify? :roll:

I intend to Lioness! Only trouble with Gillman is George and Helen badgering me into buying gear from the track shop!

Lioness - the Sidewinders track is actually a JUNIOR racing circuit and, having been there, I've got to say it's a brilliant little set up. I've been to Gillman too on several occasions over the past two British winters and, having nigh on frozen my wotsits off at Peterborough last night, can't wait to get out to Oz again! In fact I'm off on November 17th and ain't coming back until February 16th so I'll think of all you forum members over the Festive period especially as the clock creeps past midnight to herald year 2004 beginning when I'll raise a large glass of Bundy and coke to you all whilst I sit on the beach at Torquay as we did last year! Looking forward to the sunshine and speedway again and, in particular, announcing at the meeting at Bordertown on December 20th as I've heard that the promoter is a real good bloke. Ain't that right Marty??? :roll:

I'll be there Mark. It's turned ruddy cold over here in the last few days so am about to book my flight as I've decided that "I don't do cold!" Besides which, as I frequently tell you lot down under, I've got to come back to see if the place has improved! :evil:

Anyone know what happens if the Swedish GP gets rained / rutted off this weekend? :evil:

Troy is (and has been for some years) living back in his native Australia and (as you would expect of him) living life to the full. Nigel Wagstaff used to sponsor him and is in regular contact.
