chopper Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Update on Travis Mcgowan, taken from another site is that he has withdrawn from the meeting in Mount Gambier , and will be replaced by Richard Sweetman. Shoulder problems been given as the injury. As for Ty Proctor i feel after watching him wed night that it is only his gating which needs sharpening up , which regular racing will hopefully improve, its easy to be made to look slow in that sort of field, especially if your not gating.

Ozyace Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Some pics from the Gillman racing are up on http://forum.australianspeedway.com/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cheers for the link to the photo's, i too noticed Josh Grajocek (sp) wearing a Leatt or similar neck brace. I wonder what his feedback on wearing it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what his feedback on wearing it is My lad Robert has been wearing one for the past six months, firstly for motocross and now for his speedway and he doesnt even know he has it on now. The only problem we encountered was the brace pushing up on the back protector , so we found a womens protector that goes up to where the spine protector starts on the leatt brace. Personally i wouldnt have him out there without one. Cheers Chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marron Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the info on Ty. This may seem like a silly question, as they could be way apart with reagrds to talent, but just read all of it: How does Ty compare to Arlo Bugeja? The reason i ask is because i don't know the level of competition in regular season racing and when Budgie came over here, he was beating every rider in our 2nd halves race after race. But when he raced for the Bears (the main team), it was a bit too much too soon and just wasn't ready. Does Ty have better machinery and have they ever raced each other?

Wackie Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Travis down hard in the B final, really nasty, crowd gone very quiet..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Video clip of Trav's crash from Aussie news http://news.ninemsn.com.au/video.aspx?vide...e9f05046f&tab=1 Although the news report states Travis suffered a dislocated shoulder, Reading website initially ran the same news but was updated yesterday stating that he has in fact suffered a stretched tendon and is back at home resting. Very, very lucky boy after hitting a solid wall (wtf is that all about!! ) at such speed. Get well soon Trav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get well soon Trav. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Glad to hear that Trav's injuries aren't as serious as they might possibly have been and hopefully he'll be back to full fitness soon. Having been at Gillman several times, just to clarify, it is NOT a solid wall but a wooden fence. Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for clearing that up Bryn, I was only stating what it said on the news broadcast. That barrier didn't seem to have a lot of give in it, thank god there was nobody behind Trav when it threw him back onto the track. Even though Trav came from, and has moved on again to the dark side , he soon made himself a firm favourite at Reading and I hope this latest injury to what must be an already weak shoulder doesn't hold him back in 2008 - wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

tarabanko Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Mikael - if you go to the archive section and then click on Wednesday 18:00 Jazz I think you will find it there. I dont think the have a facility to change the programme type on the archive section so its best to go along wit the time rather than the programme name. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks ALOT!

BigFatDave Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Should be good fun at Mt Gambier tonight; its a high-banked track similar to the old Shay Stadium. Geez I tell you what, some of these Poms already know how to drink, I didn't even hafta teach 'em!! 38 - 39 this arvo but it'll cool down quite a bit tonight. No breeze so it'll be pleasant, looking forward to some more leg-trailing from a certain Pomgolian rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Playing up now Hey BFD, if you look on Flash Earth which is the speedway track? I'm guessing it's the track that stands on it's own? Edited January 5, 2008 by Trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
