kings_lynn_hun! Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) We got a Broadford meeting in !! It rained quite a bit in the days leading up to the meeting but the track turned out to be extremely good after being a bit on the heavy side during practice. I was glad to get a meeting in at all but the racing turned out to be better than usual. Speedway is strange isn't it ? Points Ty Proctor 3,3,3,3 = 12 Mark Jones 2,3,3,2 = 10 Dakota North 3,2,2,1 = 8 Mitch Goodwin 2,1,2,2, 7 Jake Anderson 0,2,1,3 = 6 Beau Evans 1,1,1,1 = 4 Matt Jones 1,0,0,0 = 1 Bob Stoneham - absent Heat 1 North, Goodwin, Matt Jones Heat 2 Proctor, Mark Jones, Evans, Anderson Heat 3 Mark Jones, North, Evans, Matt Jones Heat 4 Proctor, Anderson, Goodwin Heat 5 Proctor, North, Anderson, Matt Jones Heat 6 Mark Jones, Goodwin, Evans Heat 7 Anderson, Goodwin, Evans, Matt Jones Heat 8 Proctor, Mark Jones, North Ty Proctor was way too classy and his third to first ride in heat 8 was the ride of the day by a long way. No disgrace for Mark to finish second against riding of that calibre. In Mark's first heat he followed Proctor home although Proctor finished quite a distance in front. Mark's second ride was a belter as he took Dakota North up the inside on lap 2 to record the win. His third heat he led easily although he found it hard to shake Mitch Goodwin, and in the final ride all you could do was applaud the way Proctor fought back from third after messing up the start. Mark's next meeting is the Victorian championship in two weeks time. I would usually do a live update but this time I won't because it's a day meeting which will start at about 2am UK time. I'll post results on here when I get home from the track (about breakfast time in the UK) so it will be something for you to wake up to !! To be honest the four favourites on paper look to be Proctor, Cam Woodward, Cory Gathercole and Jason Doyle but don't be surprised if Mark pinches some points off them, he is riding well. On todays form Proctor would be my pick. Cheers Howard Lunchy from Un-official Kings Lynn Forum. Well done Mark Edited November 29, 2009 by kings_lynn_hun!

HBKPCNBob Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Good to hear Mark is back racing, I was in the pits at Weymouth in 2006 when he was riding in a challenge meeting, he had Chris Holder with him as his mechanic, he looked smooth on the bike then and when I spoke with him seemed really keen to ride over here full time. It was disappointing when he stopped riding but glad to hear he is back and looks like he hasnt been away, going by his scores from Aus.

kings_lynn_hun! Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Victorian state titles results follow. Mark placed 5th (by virtue of second in the B final) and one spot out of the main final. His score was really hurt by a "did not finish" in his first ride after he had been comfortably in the lead. In his second ride he was in front for three laps before James Holder pulled off the pass of the meeting to get by and pinch first. To be honest though the riders who had ridden in the UK in 2009 (Proctor, Woodward, Sedgmen, etc) were just that little bit sharper when it mattered. No way should Mark be too disappointed though, he was well on the pace and it was a good opporunity for him to find out exactly what level he is currently at. Jason Doyle and Cory Gathercole were late withdrawls which didn't overly please the organisers Score chart 1. Justin Sedgmen 2,3,3,3,1 = 12 + 3 + 1 = 3rd 2.

kings_lynn_hun! Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 see that Mark has nominated to ride at Gosford (NSW) this coming weekend against the likes of Holder x 2, Masters, Poole, Penfold, Kurtz, Davies, Skidmore, Sweetman etc etc. That's as good (if not better) a field as last week and he should certainly know he's at a race meeting against that lot. I can't go (it's 700 miles away), hopefully I can get some results from one of the locals thanks to lunchy from the Un-official KL forum (: for the updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Good to see Newport are attracting decent newcomers to the club, unlike previous years. Instead of the likes of Truminski, Mroz, Kujawa ( ), Vedel etc we have landed the likes of Nilsson, Mellgren, Kurtz and now Mark Jones. I think Jones will be a top NL rider and will almost certainly be pushing for PL in 2011. Edited February 10, 2010 by Wanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Seems a surprising move but we'll look after him at Newport, we thought the world of his brother too and lets hope he has a really successful season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit of a hunk as well, Tanya; doubtless there'll be an increase in the gate once youse Sheilas get an eyeful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
