torpointfanatic22 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Official announcement - looking forward to it already! http://www.speedwayg...hp?extend.18501 Like you I'm also looking forward to catching some speedway over the festive period, however I can't help thinking the 7pm start time is a big mistake. The OTA is notoriously cold and at that time of the year it will be freezing in daylight let alone at night! For me a 2pm start would have been much better and far more attractive.

Dave_minall Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 The question still remains Is there going to be a New Year Classic???? I can't help but think that we may be getting a free for all in 2013. If any track wants a new year classic, why not? I really miss going to Newport and freezing myself to the point of frostbite every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble53 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 For me a 2pm start would have been much better and far more attractive. Unfortunately the tracks planning permission conditions puts paid to that Mikey, and to Sunday and Bank holiday racing........so Friday at 7:00pm it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Unfortunately the tracks planning permission conditions puts paid to that Mikey, and to Sunday and Bank holiday racing........so Friday at 7:00pm it is Think Bish and Gary are taking a big gamble organising an evening meeting in December, especially as it will be a longer meeting than the normal 15 heats, good luck to them and I hope it's a success. Perhaps we could watch it in the warmth of the club house, on the big screen and Di could sell windscreen ice scrapers for when you return to your car after the meeting.

Don`t think cold weather will be too much of a problem OT, I remember being at the opening meeting one year down at the OTA, before the Club House was built and it was one degree that night.Provided it don`t rain or snow,they will get a good crowd imo.

I remember that meeting, and one in March about 3 seasons ago when I dived into the club house in between each heat to keep warm. Unfortunately as my bones get older I feel the cold more, perhaps I need a hot women to warm me up? Offers on a postcard please!

WembleyLion Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Having watched Ice racing in Russia at -25°C the OTA should be somewhat warmer! However like oldtimer I have dived in and out of the clubhouse before now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that Horse in the picture with you in a box, tie it up outside the clubhouse, put a Rug on it and go out occasionally and put your hands inside the rug either side, that will warm you up!!!

Arson fire Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Does this mean that the reason ( that some gave) the season has to end in October due to insurance etc is a load of bollox then??... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luluthetiger Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Excellent question, any answers? When this came up previously I was told the licences and contracts end on October 31st, and that would mean the riders couldn't be insured. Won't these out-of-season meetings get one-day licences issued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Does this mean that the reason ( that some gave) the season has to end in October due to insurance etc is a load of bollox then??... I'd assume that extra insurance cover and licensing is required for the one off day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietbowers Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'd assume that extra insurance cover and licensing is required for the one off day. Correct,wonder if the license fee for the out of season meeting has gone up from last years event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
