Turning The Clocks Back.

[Nevs]

Not sure if I am allowed to do this or not.

 

I have been sat here thinking about the clocks going back an hour tonight and been thinking maybe,as Exeter isn't running next year it may be worth posting a link to turning the years back,let alone an hour at Exeter for those new fans to this forum who arrive during the winter and are not aware of the history that this link provides.

 

Check out this site ,which will not only take you back an hour, but years of racing at the CG.

 

If I shouldn't have done this then I apologise and a mod can delete it and will put a link on my sig to it instead.

 

I have met the person who did all this work just once and is not for advertising forums or anything-but rather than turn the clocks back an hour turn them back years on the History of Exeter.

I've just had a quick look Nevs and I'm well impressed.

 

Can't see any reason for the mods to delete it either.

Just looking at the pictures from the last meeting What a night, IMO it could not have ended better, Ivan, fireworks and then the lights failed to come back on.

 

That Mike Patrick picture of the crowd is great and at leats proves my mind os not playing tricks, I remeber getting there at about 6.30 having floored it from Newport after work and there was almost nowhere to stand! In the end me and my dad ended up on the apex of the 3rd/4th bend, squashed against the ricketty old "2 metre" (year right, about 60 cms!!!) safety barrier.

 

I remember every time the rider come past burrying my head in the programme to avoid the shale and going home with my pockets, ears, nose, belly button and eyes full of shale (I'm still finding it in my coat 12 month later and numerous washes!).

 

Also remember when Ivan was doing his final 4 flying laps we all compeltly ignored the safety barrier and climbed under it and leaned over the steel "safety" fence and cheered him as he come past.

 

What a night, infact, what a place, it'll never be replicated and I don't think any other speedway track will quite have the same wow factor despite having so little passing!
