Bryn Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) And a night that brought memories galore flooding back although I personally missed quite a chunk having keeled over (and no I hadn't been drinking!) and being sorted out by the medics for which I'm very grateful. As I said though, the memories came flooding back with the likes of Moggo, Troy Pratt, Rob Ledwith, Paul Woods, Jeremy Doncaster and Gordon Kennett having a skid and great to see the likes of Andy Galvin, Bo Petersen, Jan Pedersen, Troy Pratt, Colin White, Ian Humphreys, Alan Sage, Rob Tilbury, Andrew Silver, Ted Hubbard, Mark Loram, Steve Schofield Michael Lee, Steve Weatherley, Eddie Kidd (who's looking well), Egon Muller and so many more in attendance - including the legendary Terry Heath who those who practiced on Saturday afternoons at Hackney will well remember - a really great night! Well done to everyone who played a part and to all the fans who attended too. Edited July 19, 2008 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Highlight for me was watching Troy Pratt and Robert Tilbury early in the afternoon squeeze into kevlars and be like little boys with new toys riding round the track Didn't see any of the meeting, was too busy keeping guard on the door Bryn reckon it must of been my perfume, one minute you was stood talking to me then next you had fallen backwards on the deck!!!! Scared the rubbish outta me I can tell ya, hope you are feeling better now, although was suprised to see you sat back in the chair so soon!!!!! OMG almost forgot Shane from the under 15's glad you enjoyed getting back on your bike after your accident, couldn't keep this boy in the pits! Once he'd been out he wanted to go again and again ..... Well done mate Edited July 19, 2008 by shazzybird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno4 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I see Troy Batchelor crashed in the semi-final last night. Anybody know if he is OK ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliv Clav Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Great night! Pleased for Paul that the rain stayed away. Meeting Bo Petersen, Jan Pedersen, Andy Galvin and Rob Tilbury was so cool. Seeing Moggo, Troy Pratt and especially Robert Ledwith back on track and looking very good, brought a big smile to my face. Watching some very good racing, especially Leigh and Tomi going so well. Buying Leigh Lanham's race jacket at the end of the night topped of a hugely enjoyable evening. Who could forget Egon Muller's singing too? Brilliant stuff! Nice to see Paul back on a bike too!

Actually my mate next to me handed the money over for the race jacket as he was nearest, but I was sat next to him. Sorry I didn't say Hi. Woulda been nice to have finally met you after all this time. Come and say Hello next time you are at Arena, I owe you a drink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
