Along with the sites already quoted to you, Speedway Updates also have live results from Mildura (Victoria State Finals) on Saturday ..... I have offered to be up at the crack of dawn (ok maybe not as early as that, but pretty blooming early on a Saturday morning!) to take texts direct from Australia.

 

Link to the site is www.speedwayupdates.co.uk although I haven't as yet set the thread up.

 

Great stuff Sue - how early? I'll be up to keep you company - just gotta get some cans of coke now so I can crack open the bottle of Bundy in the cupboard! :wink:

Well Lunchy has said meeting will probably start around 9am our time but it all depends on the setting sun!

 

I will probably get online from around 8 am just in case armed with a very strong cup of tea.

You know Mildura Bryn !! It starts "when ever" and finishes "when ever". I'm tipping around about an 8 pm kick off (he hopes) and with 11 hours time difference it should make it around 9 am UK time. Never mind, I do my best work at night ;) and Sue says she does her best work in the morning so we should get by somehow.

G day BFD,

 

$2500 for a night out in a Darwin strip club thats cheap! LOL

 

PS do the pubs still have strip lunches?

 

AHH The memories.

 

A little birdy tells me you may be making the trip down south for the Gold Cup?

Yep, just a quiet one!! :P

 

I'll pop down the Parap Pub this arvo and ask the Topless Barmaids! :blink:

Hopefully Bella's on - Bella Bellissima!! Apparently she's quite good-lookin' - don't ask me , I've never seen past her chin! The word Humungous comes to mind.

 

Currently checkin' out cheap Go-downs & Opium Dens near the Showgrounds - seems to be a Pi$$-up on the cards here! :o

Any practise sessions open to the Public?

Sceamer,

 

Another source of info comes from Radio Freemantle. Here

They do a weekly speedway programme.

 

Also last year they followed the Aussie titles very well. With one or two of the meeting havng live coverage

 

Radio Fremantle's Let's Talk Speedway show runs every Saturday, with a one hour programme available to us all on archive for seven days, all you need is media player or equivalent.

 

Plans are afoot to cover the Aussie titles again this year, I'll post more on this as details become confirmed.

 

Also it is hoped to have interviews with riders over the coming weeks, some by telephone link-up and some as studio guests, once again more details to follow.

 

Please listen in, and if you like what you hear let them know by e-mail. The guys on the show are all volunteers working at a community radio station and will be very appreciative of feedback.

Teams to be confirmed.

 

This will start at approx 9am British time....

 

Chris Holder is at the track but not riding, his machinery is still held up at customs. Apparently has declined offers of a borrowed bike.

 

Rider presentation has been done but now there is a problem with the tapes!

 

Lunchy comments at the interval, Masters impressive in heats 9 to 11, all terrific close battles for first. North is alert and chirpy, not sure if he has any structural damage.

Not sure....will see if I can get a reply from Lunchy but he may be making up for lost time and downing some tinnies!

 

Must say a huge thanks to Lunchy though, loved the thrill of getting texts and phone calls from Australia (yeah sad life when you get excited about thing like that) and hope to get the chance to update more meetings live over our winter (hint hint :D )

 

Edit Dore fell in his 2nd ride but rode in the re-run. He didn't ride after that, may have had minor injury but nothing announced over the PA

Sam Dore was not injured. He was excluded in first ride for a first corner fall. In his second ride he was taken out and a foot rest went through his front wheel removing half the spokes and bending his chassis. Only operating one bike in this country so had nothing left to ride hence he withdrew from the meeting.
