Main Man

Now I know why you have to wear yours Gary ----all the time !!!

sorry! Must read the texts more carefully!! But well done Grant anyway.

Could be a day for two good open meetings close to each other then? Newport at 1pm for the Tim Stone Memorial, Prince of Wales Trophy then Swindon at 6pm. Puk and Mads are riding in both so there should be a steady stream of cars leaving Queensway Meadow on to the M4 to Swindon I would think. Two lots of methanol in one day to start the 2009 season --sounds good to me --how many are going to do the two meetings then ????

Just had txt through from Ronder McKinlay in NZ and Grant Tregoning won the South Island Championship --well done to Grant.

Tucker Time is Big Trev Harding.

think you are right especially with Slade Steel as the sponsors on the arms of the leathers

all systems go for training school today --sunday 18th 11 till 3

Only a few I know. CH (9) 80-1 John Jones Oxford (5) chasing Newport unknown --Jon Erskine Bradford (1) 72-1 Chris Roynon Cradley Heath (2) 71-2 Andrew Bearne Crayford (1) Chris Harrison will keep looking to see if I can get any more Laurence Rogers

the Gunners pub opposite Ellesmere Port's Thornton Rd stadium.

Jason Doyle as well.

Good luck to Nick Morris.

...and the Carmarthen track at the Showground is still there and used for tractor pullls several times a year ---and no sign of the hotel development that was given as an excuse for not allowing speedway to continue there. I know that Dean Felton went down there last year and drove his car around the track "for old times sake!!". What a waste!!

The Surfaris (or something like that!!). I introduced this at Cradley for 5-1's and used it at other tracks. Nice to know it is still used . Also had "Oh No!! " for an away 5-1.

Had text from NZ that Grant Tregoning has retained his NZ Under 21 title again ---congratulations to him and his back up team especially Ronder McKinlay.

Chris Kerr's sister rides in the USA.

Tom P Madsen and Craig Watson are having theirs in 2009 as well.

She did . I also included her in some of the Carmarthen(Clwb Caerfyrddin) Dragons meetings we had on CL tracks the other year.

Simon's wife is Andrea, Julie actually rode in the England team that day if I remember correctly at No. 4 and scored about 5 points.

Steve Bastable's sister Pauline had some races against Peter Collins' sister, Anne, as well .

Well done young Nick on his u-16 title --take it dad Lee had a few celebratory tinnies ??!!

Yes all the best to Shane --deserves a break (but not the kind he's had the last 2 years!!) --look forward to seeing him back on a bike soon. Laurence

Hans was known as the Main Dane. What do you want to know about Erik ? Having known him since he came to the Uk, acted as his manager and wrote his first book "Champ" , i might be able to help you with some background Jim --let me know . Laurence

Well done Nick!!

I've got Pete to register on BSF and he's been trying to log on tonight --unsuccessfully so far by the look of it. So watch out for 'Smurf' on here soon!!
