spin king Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Being covered in shale is and has always has been part of speedway, having been a fan for over 40 years now I always feel going to Scunny is watching a 'real' old fashioned speedway meeting where you went home covered in shale and dust! Oh the good old days!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Years since I was cover like that, but must admit that I deep down enjoyed it, copped a few in the face, but at least I did not get one in the mouth, like I once did when I was younger.

lupus Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) Middle of the back straight is the place to be - we didn't get more than a couple of little splodges during the first couple of heats! WE found this out last year at the Dream Team meeting - when we got plastered standing on the home straight!

GirlFriday Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 On Ebay you will find a 3' Teddy Bear wearing a replica Wayne Carter Farewell Meeting Race Jacket up for auction with the proceeds going to Wayne's Farewell Fund. It is worth a bid for the (wearable) race jacket alone!!! Teddy is as laid back as Wayne himself and is totally house trained. Very soft and cuddly and bidding would be a great way to add to the fund if you were unable to make it along on Sunday Don't worry about postage as I'm sure he can be delivered to almost any track via a rider or two The item number is 180103579279 > Happy bidding <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This auction will finish tomorrow (Tuesday) please get your bids in for this unique collectors item and add a bit more in to Wayne's Farewell Fund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlFriday Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Well done to Wayne and his committee, for put on an excellent show that I think everybody enjoyed, young junior come away even more happy as his bid for Lee Complin's race bib was accepted at the auction, and it now sits proudly on his bedroom world with Lee's and Wayne's signature on it (Lee was his first ever favourite rider). Would like to wish Wayne all the best and hope that he still comes down to Sheffield on Thursday. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lovely story SK, I'm pleased for Junior, I'm sure it will be a treasure. I know the excitement of winning a race jacket at auction. I got Wayne's race jacet at Peter Carr's 25 yr Testimonial, and as luck would have it, managed to get Peter's at Wayne's. A great day all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
