I think I watched a charity football match in the 70's at Leicesters Blackbird Rd Track, think there were a few Radio One DJ's, and other celebs playing, can't remember the year, but I'm sure it happened and was not a dream!!!
Seat bracket I believe, very uncomfortable, even though you're out of it alot, it's a fulcrum point for body parts, mostly, but not exclusively the right leg!!!
A few years ago at the Cardiff GP, you could purchase earpieces like you get at test match cricket, which is a commentary feed. I actually quite enjoyed it, the only downside for me is, I don't like earpieces!! Not sure if it was a regular thing, as I have been a flag Marshall at the last 6 or 7 Cardiff GP's.
Weather forecast is as good as it gets for late April.. Beaumont Park will be bathed in Sunshine, with temps topping out at a respectable 24c, maybe even 26c!! No rain, or any wind to speak of. Come tapes up, the temperature will have dropped back to a pleasant 16c to 17c.. Perfect Speedway weather..!!
I think he may be looking through Rose tinted glasses, I remember in the past, some races never got the 2 minute klaxon, riders came straight out, little or no digging, lined up and that was that.. The 2 minute klaxon only seemed to sound if riders were in trouble with bikes etc...
