BOMBER, BOMBER, BOMBER.....

 

BANG BANG BANG

 

Excellent nights entertainment from Bomber, can't really say much that hasn't been said, one of the highlights for me was seeing just how worked up SCB was! Especially as at one point he wanted us all to get naked and join him in celebrating the victory! :P

Watched it on DVD last night again!

Does anyone know if the DVD available by pre-order from Speedwayworld.tv will be the coverage from Sky?

 

I assume it will be.

Finally got round to adding my congratulations to Chris Harris

 

In all my years of watching speedway I wonder if it can actualy get much better than this. The atmosphere was electric and with a last heat, last bend Brit winner

 

Quote of the day from a lady sat behind me with a soft Edinburgh accent talking about Chris Harris after the final race

 

At the start of the race I would have given him one in four

After the first bend I would have given in one in twenty

At the finish I would have given him one

 

Post of the decade. Fantastic.

It's not - hence why many people like me will have both on DVD. The official DVD shows some great insights into the event (will the boxset did) and different camera angles and replays.

Oh, cheers. Thanks for that.

Almost certainly not. It was probably be an "official" one. I have a copy of the official DVD of the 2005 Cardiff GP. You will get the same pictures from the racing and the "official" interviews that are shown on the screen in the stadium.

 

Based on what I have from 2005, you probably won't get the Greening stuff or the in-studio chat with Loram, Hamill and Ermolenko, but their own seperate interviews. You'll also get different commentry. The 2005 one has Dave Lanning and Kelvin Tatum and sounds very much as if it has been added later and lacks something because of it.

 

Personally I think the Sky coverage is much better.

On a side note, What a great piece of symmetry for Axeman, 10 years ago it was him standing on top of the Podium, and 10 years on it is his protege Bomber winning the British G.P. Such a shame that his career was ended prematurely, but great to see him still amongst the top in his field!

What    what    what  ??

 

Women, orgasms ???  - when did this start happening then ??  :wink:  :wink:

 

I just cant keep up with modern times - I blame the termination of rationing, - women wouldnt have orgasms if we still had powdered egg !!

I reckon it's something to do with global warming myself! :)

 

My missus goes like a steam train when it's above 80 deg. farenheit, and by God it was hot in the stadium on Saturday night! :P:P

Agreed. Brian rarely gets mentioned and he clearly does so much for Bomber - he looked so so happy when Bomber crossed the line.

 

Haven't commented yet but I'm pretty sure that anything I'd have to say has already been said but

 

Chris Harris

Take a bow son!

 

Absolutely superb :approve:

It won't be Sky.

 

It's usually the syndicated version that channel four used to broadcast. Certainly the (superb) annual box set contained all the same logos and graphics.

Well done.

What a fantastic win . Took four mates (well blokes in there 40's) who had never been to speedway before ,they loved it.

 

Best bit was my mate after bomber has gone thru the semi tring to high five everyone around us, was a little peeved that these polish blokes by us wouldnt ???

 

I was Peeing myself and had to tell him that he'd just knocked Hampel their favourite out !!!! Priceless

Found this on the Daily Express Online:

 

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/12011/...in+a+Millennium

 

The headline 'Hero Harris: One in a Millenium' made me smile but its just a shame they didnt have a picture of our hero!

 

As one of those who doubted him in 2005, well I was wrong (and how!!) and I hope he goes from strength to strength.

 

The way many Poles were chanting his name on leaving the stadium suggests his fan base isnt just in Britain...

First Cardiff GP i've missed in 5 years, inconsiderate friend of mine got married on Saturday and I coudn't go. I was absolutely overjoyed when I heard the result and also absolutely gutted that I couldn't be there. Its been a real privilege watching Chris at Brandon every week, usually worth the admission fee on his own. I managed to find the final heat on Youtube at the hotel receptions computer and got a crowd of fellow wedding guests watching it.

 

Well done Bomber and let's hope this gives British Speedway a much needed boost.

 

I'll be emailing my un-hitched friends the date of next years British GP and kindly ask them to use an alternative date.

I'd have been at Cardiff to be honest.

 

Sport > Weddings.
