Neil H Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 We thought he was thrown over the fence. A very lucky young man. get well soon. Very disappointed at the level of support for Buxton. Where has everyone gone? He did, sort of. The fence took all of the speed out of the crash and collapsed as designed with Martin dropping into the safety zone. It would have been 100x worse at most other tracks and is testament to the safety fence at Buxton that he was relatively unharmed.Hopefully Martin will come back fit and strong by the start of next season and he will get a big round of applause if he were to appear at Buxton in the future.

Ht 15 Kerr Atkin Widman Stokes 3-3 56-37(Snip) Excellent ride by Chris to hit the front in Ht 7 and then 4 good laps to take the win. Deserved place in Ht 15 as he rode excellently and put in by far his best performance at Hi-Edge this season - Well done Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Central Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Nice gesture from Martin yesterday when he sent Chris a message on Facebook apologising for taking him out. I am sure that Martin is wondering how it all happened so quickly but to think of the innocent party in all of this trauma is really good of the lad. Well done for your sportmanship Martin. If anyone has seen the photo in Speedway Star today, I think they will agree that the Buxton fence did a superb job in stopping Martin and his bike.

Main Man Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Martin is a great lad I have a lot of time for . His dedication (and taht of his dad andRay Purvis) is unbelievable. I told him i felt bad having sorted out the booking for him with Dale Allitt . He will be back on the bike as soon as he is fit --and aiming for some regular NL rides in 2013 to go with his MDL with Mercia Vikings and AJL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
