Seems a lack of thought regarding posting this to the world. Its only on facebook, and lots including me, are not and do not wish to be on facebook ! But usually you can still view vids even without a facebook account. But when I click the "play" icon, nothing happens !
Guess like many others, I will just have to miss out !!!
Comets putting on an Amateur Meeting on 28th December !
Wear your thermals !

I was saddened to hear the news of the passing of Brian. I have known him since he rode at Workington in the 1970s and he was always exciting to watch. But I got to know him better in Redcar days, through my "gangs" road trips there over recent years. And Brian ALWAYS treated the Comets fans like myself with great respect. He always made a huge fuss with us from the moment we entered the arena, right down to ensuring the Comets fans got priority in the bar over any leftovers from the sponsors buffet ! Despite some of my gang asking him some very direct questions, he would always give them an honest answer. Not many non Redcar fans knew, but his involvement with Redcar even stretched as far as he personally emptying the bins after every meeting !
Rest in peace Brian me old mate. The Workington "gang" will miss you lots.
I think he lived with one of the members of the supporters club committee in the middle of Workington, which was only a mile from the track, so hopefully he can arrange that again in 2026.
Well Neil....good luck in finding one ! Wroclaw seems to be the nearest main airport to Opole track, and I cant find flights from ANY UK airport to Wroclaw early on a Sunday morning, or late on a Saturday night !
Oh dear...it appears to be true !

Seems they run meetings on Sunday afternoons !
Unbelievable yet again, but the rain is scheduled between 1pm and 7pm, with it being at its very worst.....around 3-4pm !! This is now getting bizzarre ! Same forecast each Saturday for last 4 weeks ! I very much doubt this meeting will go ahead.
Kevin Juhl Pedersen was AWESOME considering the conditions ! He had never seen the track before and led the way in all his races. What a rider he is going to make....I hope we sign him next season ! Seemed very friendly to the few fans that were spectating too...giving them a friendly wave whenever he could.
