Lefty

Apologies for not giving more information. I was economical to avoid getting a forum 'Red card'. Yes, Kenny Ingalls was wiped out.

Nope. Please remember August 2012 @ Derwent Park.

Playing, "Brewster's Millions" ?

Together with being 'caught' at Tesco parking Leicester with a dragged out meeting, i considered the above was enough to stop me attending Birmingham Speedway and also to not shop at the One Stop. Am I alone? PS: I do miss playing 'frogger' across the A34 when the flyover was there!

Make that four reasons..... Allow for the first meeting to be allocated to 'Women Racing' ... woops. Seriously though we must remember that juniors are going at faster speeds than 90% of most our heroes ever did.

Cheers, just read it and the comments. Of the 15 so far a big thumbs up to poster 'Cheetos'. The Advertiser would've been better following that up as a headline investigation.

Even in earlier times travelling was a 'mare, so as a group of Wolves fans (many cars), we would pre-plan mass Proggy ordering & meet at Barton Arms. Those with a good journey, got more beer in! Then a burst up the '34 to the One Stop for parking. This makes me focus on lack of parking as an issue, especially if ever crowd increase occurred. Similar to Leicester's sun delays and run a fine at Tesco parking. In both cases get caught once, don't go again! As for the 'outside viewing', since the bouncy castle fences went in, it's become non existent! At least it reminds me of Crayford & London revamp @ Hackney! Apologies for being so negative / realistic

When the uncoordinate announcements: either leaks / drifts out / or a Chris Harris bubblegum piccy of his race suit appears!

Ah... the first puff of 'white smoke' is coming out of the chimney

It was rumoured that the Hotel said a bond must be paid upfront to ensure that they completed their stay and didn't default on extra costs typically putting extra guests into the rooms or cancelling the rooms at no notice on the day!. Also, as they hadn't stayed there for at least 2 years they couldn't vote against this ruling. The promoters replied, "This is a disgrace, it's poor encouragement to get more to attend, it's totally bad practice, nobody else operates like that ......" Oops

Does Phil Morris get an invite to attend this?

It would be reassuring to have a new "Five Year plan", providing they think League Speedway can continue for that long?

Would two promoters sharing a room be classed as 'doubling-up'......

Following Wolves away in the late 60's, we considered Watford Gap area as halfway home from the London tracks. This was due to the M6 not being completed to link with the M1. So return journey iwas A45 past Brandon, Sutton area, Walsall then Wolves! Very tiring! Early 70's saw M6 open all the way. Early years were great. It was as if road cones and speed camera's hadn't been invented. It could be done in just under the hour from Watford Gap. Nowadays the M6 reminds me of 'Happy Hour' on the LA Freeway, take a newspaper with you to read or a musical instrument to play! As a footnote to the youngsters, in the early days late at night the car radio was limited to either Radio Luxembourg or American Forces. So it created a love for Baseball commentaries & Elvis. Back to the services. It was a good stopping place to chat to the riders and have an inquest as to why we lost! The bike on the rack at the back of the car was always easy to spot! Often the riders would speed past us going up the M1 and minutes later the Police Jaguar would try and catch them up! Happy Days

I'm sorry, but I thought you never apologised?

I'm thinking you've just 'leaked' the new five year plan ahead of the AGM.

The Leicester track might have dried out by the time his ban is up. So, he won't miss any home meetings!

This is the post that started this thread. So, is the test lab he used useless? If yes??? Can it be named?

Haha! On a Friday afternoon a 15 mins drive from the City (Town) centre would just about get you to Monmore Green!

Yipes does this mean: Chris Harris, Christopher Harris, C Harris, 'Bomber' Harris, Chris Harris (G), C Harris (GBR), C Harris (Capt), & C Harris (R/R), that I read in last week's Speedway Star is the same person?

The Speedy Star used to have a column penned by Angus Kix, who was actually Eric Linden. Is it some reference to this?

Is #5's nickname "The Red Barron" ?

I'm thinking he would have been okay with Multiple 'thread' tributes?

From Wolves website. 2023 PARRYS INTERNATIONAL WOLVES: Ryan Douglas, Luke Becker, Sam Masters, Steve Worrall, Rory Schlein, Zach Cook, Leon Flint. WOLVES AT HEART: Richard Lawson, Tom Brennan, Chris Harris, Scott Nicholls, Jacob Thorssell, Kyle Howarth, Joe Thompson.

I was led to believe he was on Bullseye and won a hose-pipe! It's been treasured ever since!
