shazzybird Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Gino returned home last week after his 6 month stay was up --but aiming to be back in 2011 I know he's gone home can he not come back for the tour? Looking forward to seeing him in 2011 (Laurence someone nicked my phone can you send me your number again via facebook inbox please or give it a week and text me as still got the same number cheers hun x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Wanderer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Any chance of the tour taking in Weymouth or Bournemouth this time? Have always enjoyed these matches in previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEvans Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Spoke with Gino yesterday - his attention right now is on the US Under 21 Championship this friday. He'd love to come back and do the tour but in his case he is planning on having a PL place in 2011 and his initial thought is to save his monies up to get things ready. The tours are great fun. They are also hugely expensive for the riders and I am sure the Uk fans appreciate how much these guys invest to come. Main Man -hope the dates don't clash with Newport dates - would not be the same without you! Wessex - have spoke with Weymouth and emailed Poole - ball in their court but we'd love to.

Sandie Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Didn't you hear we are building a track at your work? All 6 meetings will be there at lunch time. Eat a sandwich, sell some t-shirts, back to work. Now that's a better idea than your last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveEvans Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Very pleased to confirm that we will be at Ipswich on the 14th of October, most likely versus a team of PL level or thereabouts. Many thanks to Chris Louis who has been a pleasure to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storming Norman Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ipswich is great news. I look forward to seeing the USA team there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEvans Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Lots happening behind the scenes, talking to a lot of tracks with a lot of ideas! Also hoping to finalize the team and there are a couple of big names hopefully in the frame for the final team place! One rider, who we only approahed yesterday is a wily veteran and one of the greatest showmen ever to rider a speedway bike! No promises, but would love him to come over!

SteveEvans Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 We've added a rider as our number 8 for this tour - veteran Robbie Sauer. Robbie has been racing for close to 20 seasons on the domestic scene and was runner up at the recent Best Pairs Championship at Victorville. He is included in the squad as our number 8, though he will get riding opportunities at most meetings. He's a great guy and whilst a somewhat unlikely rider choice on one hand, he epitomises the clubman rider who makes up 80% of rider entry in your typical American Speedway meeting. http://www.speedwaybikes.com/rw/urobbi_s.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEvans Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Its becomes vogue for our riders to rent bikes when they come to the UK. We are 75% covered but still short by a couple. If anyone has equipment we could borrow or rent, please PM me. Our base is in the Midlands area. NL / PL standard please. Best Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
