Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Dare I say, forecast for the Buxton and Stoke areas has considerably perked up this morning according to the sainted Met Office.. Hopefully, then, a good day to do what I'm planing: the little-mentioned final round of the Under-15s championship at Hi Edge and then over to Loomer Rd. for Neil's meeting...

kevcfc Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 As a kid (probably about 7), I remember presenting Neil Collins with a rider of the night trophy at Derwent Park, and on another occasion doing a lap on the back of his bike And I was delighted when he came back to Workington to ride for the Comets a few years ago, still as exciting to watch as ever, as the above was one of my first memories of speedway. So I really hope tonight is a big success for him, good racing, good crowd and, hopefully, he can fill his boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Updates http://speedwayupdates.proboards103.com/in...3197&page=1 One coreection to the updates. See heat 14: Heat 14: Branney, Burrows, Richardson, Allott F 2-4 49-34 73.5 Richardson for Aidan Moore ex on 2 mins Allott in. Allott fell bend 3 lap 4 while 3rd It wasn't Adam who fell but sadly Buzz who was clear in 2nd. at the time.. I know coz I bought Buzz's race jacket in the auction and it was caked in the finest Loomer Rd. mush after his untimely tumble!! Very entertaining meeting; thoroughly enjoyable and a good crowd to give Neil the send off he deserved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 The Light and Sound system on the backstraight at stoke was not the best and it was easy to make a mistake about Burrows and Allott just be thankful we have people are willing to text from tracks for people who cant make it.

I agree. And the poster did a marvellous job, getting even the Short Track results in... As for the back-straight..: why, the lighting's so poor there I'm amazed they could even see their mobile let alone what was happening on the track!!! I was confused with the finishing order in the Collins Family race. I actually thought at the time Chris was second...: can anyone confirm the actual finishing positions in that one...
