About 15-20 Comets fans present at last nights Ben Fund meeting at Glasgow, Stoney made an appearance promoting his "Skinflint Rally " challenge in aid of the Ben Fund.
Basically Stoney and co driver (ex mechanic) have sourced a car for under £500 and have to drive to Nice completing challenges along the way.
The Rally takes place in September and a just giving page is to be set up.
Maybe the financial side came into also, competing in the GPs requires a big budget , yes maybe he has some financial backing but weighing up where he might come in the rankings it did not make sense.
In this weeks star an item about the Workington promotion team visiting a local college to spread the word of Speedway in the town .
The students were studying media and had not heard of the sport , the management were aware of not reaching everyone on the area and not just by using facebook .
