Kent Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 That is good news....very pleased for Jason that a rider like Freddie id doing his farewell just 2 days before the GP in Cardiff. Alot of riders wouldn't risk doing a meeting like this before such a big event. Just goes to show how popular Jason must have been amongst other riders! Bring it on..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Kev Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The line-up for this is really starting to take shape now, two more excellent names added . Like with Pepe, it gives a chance to see Ryan Sullivan make a rare UK appearence. Really pleased that Adam Skornicki agreed to ride, he's been a loyal servant to British Speedway over the years. Plenty of Doughnuts please Adam!! Lets hope we get good weather for this. as I seriously cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Lyons tribute to ex boss Perrin JASON Lyons has paid tribute to the role played in his career by the late Belle Vue promoter John Perrin, saying ‘he was like a father to me.’ Lyons ends his 22-year racing career in Britain with a Farewell meeting at Birmingham on August 23 when there will be a strong turnout of fans from the Manchester club who called him Mr Belle Vue. It was Perrin who spot...ted the potential of Lyons and offered him the chance to move up into the Elite League after only two seasons with Premier League Glasgow, who he had joined as a 19-year-old unknown. Perrin was a stormy character but he and Lyons struck up a friendship which went beyond the speedway track. Lyons said: “John must have noticed what I was doing for Glasgow and he invited me to ride in the Peter Craven Trophy meeting. It was my first taste of a first division track apart from Coventry where I’d raced in the World Under-21 championship. I scored nine points. “Glasgow had won the league and had the opportunity to come up into the top division but they didn’t want to. I did so I finished there after two seasons. John was the only promoter to want me and I got the job on the phone. “Buster Chapman tried to get me to Kings Lynn for a year or two after I’d joined Belle Vue but John always said No. “John was a real good guy. He ran the club himself with a few mates and he worked so hard. Belle Vue was his pride and joy. He put his money where his mouth was. “I stayed with Mike and Joan Rushworth in my first year at Belle Vue and then rented a place across the road from the stadium before going to stay with John and his wife, Trish, in Salford. I did my bikes in his garage. “Like most people I had my fall-outs with John but then we’d have a beer and a laugh. He was like a father to me. “He was a kind, generous man, too. One year he bought me an engine for my birthday. He’d given me a GM bike for signing on and things went well. It was a fast bike and I scored a lot of points. “I’d learned a lot in Scotland but I still had a lot more to learn when I moved up to Belle Vue and John helped me so much.” There are still some sponsorship packages available for the Farewell meeting.

uk_martin Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 4 more to be announced, and I'm assured that "we won't be disapointed" with who they will be. One, I've had a nod and a wink about, and he certainly fits the "won't be disapointed" bill...although I don't think that it's fair to the orgainisers to spill the beans here. Sounds like it's going to be a great meeting. Now all we need is for Carol Kirkwood to ensure us the right weather so that we can enjoy what's going to be a marvelous spectacle. http://hfbstest.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/ck.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
