Tomas Topinka Farewell, Norfolk Arena, March 8th


Recommended Posts

I'm not too bothered about seeing many GP riders racing for Tom, unless they are particular mates of him, the meeting is all about Tom and his speedway career, he is such a legend at Lynn, the fans will turn up for him alone I reckon, I want to see him having loads of fun leaving a lasting memory for us all ............... these meetings are so bitter sweet :(

do you really think the crowd would be as big if there wasn't any Gp riders in the meeting ? Think you are way out on that . Edited by Haza

Well there's a surprise you don't want any GP riders at Toms meeting sadly GP riders will draw the crowd so you have the choice of not turning up if they go against the grain but as your 2 faced towards GP riders I imagine you will be there the bigger the stars there hopefully the bigger the crowd and all the better for Tom

As highlighted Trees didn't say she didn't want any GP riders in the meeting.

 

For me the ideal line up would include some big names plus some riders who Tom rode with or was good mates with when he rode.

Team meeting with a second half......

 

Looking forward to it already! Promises to be a night of celebration. Will there be a 'mechanics race' included in the second half Rusky?

Announcers race I've heard :)

 

Glad it's a team meeting, I reckon there oughta be extra points for entertaining racing every race and/or team riding :)

I'm really rather looking forward to this. Hopefully the weather will be nice early March sunshine like last year, to provide the perfect setting for a great meeting. :)

Great looking lineup so far, one that should appeal to all Stars supporters and hopefully a few from elsewhere as well.

 

Might have to head to the auction afterwards. Still got Travis McGowan's racejacket from TT's testimonial meeting hanging on my office wall so need to complete the set :cheers:

It is a shame that some of the 'stars' could not commit it seems to Ben Meeting instead and that is nothing against Topinka who fully deserves this but maybe after Ben opener?

 

We have to work with the date that we are given, which was March 8th. I'm guessing that date was arranged early season to give the KL riders an opportunity to have a good workout before the serious business of the league starts, as well as to make the most of all available dates given the carnage taht the weather bought to the season last year
