chopper Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 For those interested heres a brief rundown of last nights meeting, dont have final scores but final positions,. A very good meeting with eleven of the twelve riders all capable of upsetting each other. The exception being Dan Mutton son of former rider Graham Mutton, thrown in at the deep end and competing in only his second ever speedway meeting. To his great credit he rode at a pace that he was capable of and didnt get suckered into over riding, and completed all four races on two wheels.At his current rate of progress he will be running with these guys by seasons end, a road racer, he is a much welcome inclusion and the club would love another half a dozen new riders. The meeting was won by Justin Sedgman, followed by Jake Anderson, Todd Kurtz and Hugh Skidmore. Anderson came through the repercharge after a fall in one heat and suffered by having to start from gate four which was a bad break as he got pushed wide down the back straight and was lucky to stay on when he clipped the back straight fence.He was briefly pased by Kurtz and by the time he repassed him Sedgy was gone. Kyle Newman was also unlucky to have a fall while leading, Sam Martin lost a possible win with a flat tyre, and the lad from WA, Shelby Rutherford was very impressive. There were a few classic races, a bar to bar race between Newman and Skidmore and a blast from third to first from Kurtz past the Sedgy brothers. It seems like every new kid these days is touted as a future champion, but Todd Kurtz in his first senior meeting was brilliant and id be suprised if he doesnt go a long way in the sport. Hope this answers a few questions. Cheers Darrell Branford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi BFD, Robert is still getting over his broken femur.The leg is good but he still has the pin inside. Hopefully on the 6th of Dec at the Jack Young cup he will get to race his 350. I have recently bought him a 500, i will include the link to his first ride at Gillman practice last week. Not sure if i can get to the sidecars , chrissy party, see how im going by then. Hoping to follow the 500 series around again with the 350 so may catch you then.

Ozyace Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Cheers for that Darrell, looks to have recovered after his crash. When is his pin coming out mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi there Ozy, unfortunately they wont take the pin out until the middle of next year. Seems a bit long to me as they are saying the leg has healed about 90 percent now. I may have to look at getting him into a sports clinic. In between the speedway and motocross season would be the ideal time. Cheers Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
