Shadders Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Pairs final was a genuinely good race, but otherwise this was an opportunity to meet and chew the fat over the winter's events That's a long way to travel, and a very expensive one at that, just for a chat and one decent race!!! ... I'm glad I kept my hard earned money in my pocket this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyJude Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Quite enjoyed it don't think anyone in their right mind would expect serious racing here at Telford, its not big enough ! There were some harem scarum moments, was very impressed with Jack Hargraves and Lee Smart. Shame Smoli didn't retain his title he certainly deserved an award for most entertaing rider thats for sure! Ben Barker should have got pratt of the match award, came out giving it the big un reving up and roaring the throttle and promptly fell off and never got to grips with the Ice afterwards . Lets hope he rides for the Brummies better than this lol. Shame there wasn't more disabled parking available, and the nearby catering outlets leave a lot to be desired ! Other than that a great day out mmmmmmmmmmm I can still smell it !!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun to watch and I would love to know what the discussion was between him and Tony Steele. We were on your side Gary!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well done to all the riders for an entertaining day. Clearly putting the power down on ice and getting a good gate was vital, as well as riding a tight line since riding the boards was a no goer -except for Ben Barker ( is he always so up himself?? ) Well done to Thomas Jorgensen winning the 3 legged race with Mr entertainer Martin Smolinski- at least the Scorps won something. Is Martin Smolinski the personality our sport needs to give it a lift in the way Sheene and Hunt did??? What a great guy totally immersed in the whole proceedings -Thanks. On the negative side, the PA system was totally crap and interviews nigh impossible to hear. Why does my Sat Nav try and send me on Toll Motorways constantly around West Midlands???

Fourentee Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 and the nearby catering outlets leave a lot to be desired ! I ate at the Costa outlet at the nearby cinema and it was fine, if predictable. There's also a big, modern pub at the top of the road (The Severn Gorge?) which had a very busy carvery on. But given that your post mentioned disabled parking either of those alternatives would presumably have entailed a drive and the potential loss of a parking spot on return.

P T Preece Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Enjoyed that, good to meet up with some of the old faces, liked the racing, Atkin the best of the day, Barker just the usual prat, O`hare well done mate, should have been put back in the re-run in my view. Smartie, Hargreaves and Collins all ex Brummies did us proud, the Two germans entertained us, didnt thnik much of the half time entertainment. The pairs was a good event and a lot of good racing alround,perhaps dont invite Barker next year, get a proper rider in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Why is there always people having a go at Ben barker and his attitude he is just a normal young man full of youthfull exuberance and was very helpfull in carring my daughter in a pushchair up the steps with me after the afternoon meeting. One thing I would say though he doesnt like getting his hair wet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOT Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I enjoyed the day, Martin Smolinski was good value for money,for both his racing and the entertainment he provided he got the crowd going. I also thought Gary Ohare did good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
