Gary Peterson Memorial Trophy

[Brummie Kev]

Says in the local Express and Star that Masters was fined £100 and tried to have a pop at Ty in the pits.

 

Deserved fine for that action.

 

Needs to learn to chill it a bit otherwise he will get a reputation.

 

Ty`s move was hard but fair, nothing to warrant such child like toy throwing behaviour.

 

 

Absolutely right too, I think Sam Masters is a great talent but hes gone down in my book with his actions. People can say it wasnt a big deal but you have a stadium with plenty of kids ( meeting was advertised as £1) that look up to riders like Sam Masters. Its no way to behave, he s a disgrace.

 

You often see words exchange after hard racing but rarely do you see physical contact, okay he only pushed Ty off but its something you dont want to see at a speedway meeting. Well done Referee for fining him.

Good luck to the Monarchs riding tonight - Kalle, Kevin and Matty. I'm sure Kevin and Kalle will have some interesting moments and Matty will be his usual reliable self!

 

Add Fisher to the line up and apart from Kalle, Ryan, Matt and Kevin all looked good and showed why Monarchs are riding high in the PL this year and before last nights great display from Ipswich, I would have said the two teams were not worlds apart.

 

 

Suprised that Haines didnt use his Wolves experience to good. Its been a tough old year for Joe. I hope he can keep the progression on but he doesnt look EL level at the moment.

 

Great to finally meet the legend Ivan Mauger, what a decent bloke too.

 

Joe's bikes were being worked on all night through out the meeting. After not scoring what he had wanted, he finally made a great gate in his last race to hit the front but as he went down the back straight the power just drained and all three went past him going into the bend. If you noticed, Joe was actually getting the speed in the final lap or two, but by then the race was over.

 

Spent the early part of the evening with Ivan and it was a pleasure to chat to him and his wife about Ivan's career and family. Interesting that the famous "Winged Wheel" that was presented at World Finals was supposed to be given to Ivan when he won his third title (68,69,70) but they decided not to after the third win. When he equalled Fundins five total in 1977 then he got to keep the famous trophy which is back home in New Zealand (not Aussie).

 

Great spending time with a true legend and as Stevebrum says, a nice guy to boot.

 

 

I agree with that, Tsunami - the boy has immense talent. For me the by far the best newcomer to the PL this year. Another year in the PL and, perhaps, doubling up in the EL and he will be on his way to being yet another great, young Aussie.

 

After Masters display last night ..... I would say his choice of tracks has dropped by one now any way !!

 

 

Ty may be a tough rider, but if Sam has plans of making it in the big world at Speedway then he will get much rougher rides against the big boys and a simple quite word would have been enough and learnt from the experience instead of lashing out and shouting off to which he was duly controlled when spoken too shortly after.
