British Under 15's Championship 2007

[Fourentee]

Had a call from the father of one of the riders immediately after this meeting which got me thinking. The gist of it was: "We've just finished, everything's OK, so his mum and I can relax tonight after the drive home. He's really enjoyed it, desperate for another go. Oh, and by the way, he scored x points so he was really pleased with that."

I wouldn't mind betting that this sentiment broadly reflected the view of every parent there. How appalling it must be to have a child who wants to ride speedway – that parental mix of 80 per cent encouragement and support for your offspring's dream mingled with 20 per cent of blood-curdling terror every time he or she throws a wheel over a bike. I would dread it were any of my four that way inclined.

But, given that desire – and there's no way you can eradicate it from the human psyche – how fortunate that so many people give of their time and talent to ensure proper training under appropriate conditions for these youngsters.

Congratulations to all involved and I trust the news on the injured rider is better than it appears.

Shame about the REF.

When and where are the next rounds of the British U-15s?

 

I'd like to get to one, but the two rounds so far have been at opposite extremities of the country at times when I just couldn't get there.

 

I can't find any details of the where and when of the next round.

Hopefully the next one will be at Plymouth on a Friday night

Poor Richy.... Some times your luck's in, some times it ain't.....

Regards.

PS.

As Jacks Dad said... "Well done to all the boys".

[Mr. Clemens]

Good to see 'Little Soren' - that's Jason Garrity - competing in this meeting

 

He is a pleasure to watch at BV

 

The other week he came round the third/fourth bend and tied himself in knots in the process - tried to correct it - but fell off

 

I observed to my friend - 'Now he knows what made Peter Craven - Peter Craven'

 

 

Good luck to the rest of these lads riding in the championship

 

I was hoping there would be a meeting taking place either at Sheffield - BV as there has been in the past

Whoops, sorry Monty.

Report in the local paper, no mention of the injured rider, hope he is well.

 

Can only imagine what it feels like for a parent to have a son /Daughter racing speedway.There were some nasty accidents on Sunday but most seemed to have got away without any major injuries.

 

Big respect to all the competitors at the meeting, they are very tough and brave.

enjoyed the meeting yesterday, its good to see so much enthusiasm from the young riders, james serjeant deserved to win it think however, garrity looked quick and has a very bright future.

There were a couple of bad accidents, hope the lad Sykes is ok looked a nasty crash.

 

Well done to all at Northside and the Comets promotion, and the youngsters involved.

I liken Jason to Kelly Moran, there is no doubt that the young guy is brilliant to watch, but he is not alone, young Sarg has been progressing nicely, and to win this meeting when it is first look at the track was a feather in his cap. James might not be as spectacular as Jason, but he is only the same age, and he is a very very intelligent rider , more of a thinker where as Jason do everything naturally, and probably cannot explain how he does it.

"Quite a good meeting but marred by a few nasty falls.

 

Fastest time of the British under 15 Championship.

 

Heat 3 in 47.4 won by Jason Garrity."

 

 

May be a stupid question and will probably be slated for this but is it a small track or was it only 3 laps. Sorry

[Rob B]

small track, 165m but quite wide I've been told.

Yes it is a small track, 165 metres and the races were over four laps.

Thanks for all the kind words about our little track hope you all enjoyed yourselves a few heated parents but just to be expected in the heat of the moment,

I missed a small part of meating was with ambulance, Graeme Sykes had hurt his pelvis did not think it was broken but was in a lot of pain i will let you know how he is when i get to know.

We try to watch all the young riders when we can - either at BV or Sheffield

 

I have seen James Sarjeant ride in a previous junior championship and I was impressed by his performance

 

I got into the British Academy Under 15's Championship in previous seasons

But - for me - this season it has almost passed by unnoticed

 

Whenever I looked on here and in the Speedway Star for information - I was disappointed to find there was very little said about these young riders

 

They are the future of the sport and need all the encouragement they can get

 

What I want to see is a comprehensive list of fixtures - those already gone - with a list of those competing - and the results so far

 

I also want to see the up and coming fixtures - in the hope there is one local to Sheffield - BV - Scunthorpe -(though I think they've already had one at Scunny)

 

The lack of information - that should be ready at hand - doesn't help the supporters getting behind these young riders and supporting them properly

 

But good luck to them all - including Montana Jowett - who we see at BV on a monday night - there are quite a few who think I am joking when I say - 'the rider there is a girl'

 

They say - 'are you sure'

 

I say - 'well you can go and ask her if you like'
