glycerol Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 There's a lot of thought to go into what to do with the future of the Bonanza 40th season bash... but once decided it will be released of course. Dick Peter and Dennis did the bulk of the arrangments and work, I did my little bit too, but there was one hell of a lot of effort put into that night I can confirm for months by lots of folk! When the rain started and the inevitable became blatently obvious it was genuinely heartbreaking for all concerned and I think the subsequent almost-tear-jerking feeling can only be out done in my speedway memories by Steve McDermott when he crashed out of the Fours Finals at Peterborough in the middle 80s for Berwick, shattering his leg to bits and keeping him out for over a year. Having said that there was one revelation from Saturday night that came my way today that had me equally rolling around out of control with laughter. OHHH very very funny event, but if I'm to pop in on here I'll need the person in question's permission first.... stay tuned... made up for a lot of the heartbreak believe me.

screm Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 That revised line up looks fantastic,will be hard to choose a winner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Decent line up Chris Holder winner for me.Josef Franc is in the line up but Newcastle are due at Workington in a 4 TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Looks like Pepe won't be at Worky then if he's agreed to our meeting In my opinion, the re-staging has a far better line up then the original... PW may not have a big star but he has got riders who are typically known for having a liking for Shielfield... Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glycerol Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 For as full info as I have to hand... here's the full details... Appearing on-track will be Josef Franc, Chris Holder, Stanislaw Burza, Jac Rempala, Michal Makovsky, Andreas Bergstrom, Craig Watson, Kozza Smith, Casper Wortmann, Kevin Doolan, Matej Kus and Adam Shields in the main event. Stars of yesterday will see Rob Hollingworth taking on Rob Grant, 2 70s heroes whilst the Stars of Tomorrow will star Jake Knight (14-years-old) who’ll be racing against 13-year-old Dale Lamb from Edinburgh, 14-year-old Mark Owen of Sittingbourne and 13-year-old Rhys Naylor in the colours of the Lakeside Hammers. Off track, Maury Robinson of the 60s, David Walsh of the 80s and Richard Knight of the 90s will be joined by a host of other former riders to mingle with the nostalgic crowd.

wjm Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Should be decent , will Franc be apperaing at Berwick rather than the 4tt at Workington ? Or will we not know this till 6.55 on Saturday ?. Edited August 16, 2007 by wjm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Have to say well done to everyone at Berwick to organise this for a second time. It was gutting to turn up and see all the effort that had gone into making a special night, for the bloody rain to try and ruin everything. The fact that so many stayed on after the postponement was announced showed how much had been done in addition to getting a quality line-up. Let's hope it is as well supported (or better) a second time, and fingers crossed for the weather. Anyone who didn't make it the first time - get along this time, it will be well worth it!

Paulco Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Best of luck to everyone at Berwick in getting this on . Please dont let the crappy weather we've had this summer spoil it again . We really do start the season too early in this country . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
