In addition to the 20 heat format which will see the highest scorer crowned winner, a unique system has been put in place to keep racing competitive throughout. The rider with the fastest time in each block of four heats will win prize money, with Freddie hoping to make sure riders will race to the end through every heat no matter how many points they have previously scored. Lindgren said: “I really want my testimonial meeting to be competitive throughout, and this will make the guys really push it over four laps.” After the meeting an auction will be held in the bar area to sell the race jackets used on the day, whilst British Grand Prix tickets along with two paddock passes will also be up for grabs. In addition, there will be an opportunity to spend the meeting alongside the match referee – and this once in a lifetime experience will be up for grabs on eBay in the near future. Keep your eyes on www.fastfreddie.se for more news on the meeting and details on that eBay auction to sit in the refs box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not very often is a Testimonial more deserved than this one. In the day and age of sports personalities move here and there and to who will pay the most, it's nice to see one of the sports top riders staying loyal to the same track in England for ten consecutive years Already a star line up with the names released and all are considered to be Monmore track specialists so there should be some great racing on the day for a great guy on a great race track. An entertaining rider who looks so innocent face to face, but he can mix it with the best and has proved to be no push over on the track. Just glad he rides better than he dances after a few sherbets Fredrik Lindgren, Peter Karlsson, Andreas Jonsson, Nicki Pedersen, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Chris Harris, Ludvig Lindgren, Davey Watt, Tai Woffinden, Scott Nicholls, _______, _______, ________, ________, ________, ________ Skornicki, Proctor, Wells and 3 more maybe ? You have to GRIN at such a line up that is entertaining to the MAX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Bit of a hint on more riders to be announced soon, says Fred in this video interview today: http://www.expressandstar.com/picture-galleries/news-video/2013/02/06/wolves-speedway-star-freddie-lindgren-on-testimonial/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 With the riders already announced and with the two about to be announced it hardly suprising Freddie says its the strongest line up in Britain this year apart from Cardiff. As Holder, Ward and a few others cant make it, he could well be right but on the other hand these spaces are being filled by track specialists in Chris Harris, Scott Nicholls, Peter Karlsson and Davey Watt. With such a strong line up on an award winning track that every rider will know, this could be even better than Cardiff. It's very much a GP style line up (plus Ludvig) and the full line up will be announced in GP style too Looking forward to it big time ......
