BigFatDave Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) MA has released the Rider Lists for the above meetings. http://www.ma.org.au/index.php?id=12&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=6004&tx_ttnews[backPid]=6&cHash=10513d053d Great to see MA taking such an interest in Aussie Speedway that they can't spell Michael Detenon's name correctly.

BigFatDave Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'd imagine there'll be a couple of withdrawals before the meetings, Icicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Big dissapointment to not see the best 17 year old in Australia nominate. Authur Sissis, i gues he has bigger fish to fry at the moment. Hopefully in the future he can add to his title resume. Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatDave Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Junior, I couldn't agree more, but as you say, he's gotta follow his dream. Whatever discipline he decides upon He'll be a Champ for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not accept a contract paid in Euros, the way its going they wont be worth anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatDave Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Considering that most road racers - even at the top level - have to raise their own sponsorship this is a huge deal for Arturo - his family aren't well off so it's come as a blessing, allowing him to continue chasing the rainbow.

A ORLOV Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I fully understand that, and its great that Red Bull are willing to sponsor youngsters. It is a good amount of money, just a pity its Euros and not Dollars or Sterling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatDave Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Your raving - ooops I mean Roving Reporter is here at Ground Zero: yesterday's rain that affected much of the Hunter seems to have avoided the track - blue skies was the order of the day. Today's Weather is isolated showers according to the latest forecast - I'll go with that. Soaking rain for a coupla hours last night will have helped the track, although it looked a picture yesterday arvo - mind you, I was feeling pretty relaxed at the time, must have been the fresh country air, all that greenery, eh? Harley Horwood has had to withdraw at the last moment due to a vehicular disaster following the precipitation in SE QLD; apparently the wick in the engine of his work vehicle went out. He's been replaced by Sean McClennan after a thrilling high speed last-minute tri-state telephonic hook-up - you should try balancing a stubby and a mobile phone between your knees while driving and lighting a ciggie - who says men can't multi-task? Approaching the end of my epic January Speedway Trek I'm really looking forward to tonight: the Under-21s field is very competitive - at least eight riders are good enough to win while a surprise is always on the cards, and I'm looking forward to seeing Dalton Nilson again in the 350s; most impressed with him in the supports at Brisvegas earlier in the month, and Lawson Walters after his good showing in the 125s will be interesting to watch. hopefully Brady Kurtz suffered no ill effects from his major off at Gillman last week. No news yet on any more late withdrawals from either line-up, Junior, although with large bits of Oz under water again some of the QLD boys will be wearing water wings: fingers crossed Olly shows up - only a day's drive from SA! Lunchy's doing Updates, so join us there, and following the planned ingestion of large amounts of giggleweed this arvo expect the expert comments tonight to be witty, pithy and to the point - as long as me batteries hold out, anyhow - the mobile's not a problem but the pacemaker's due for a service!
