Rickyb Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I hope Tom has a big turnout tonight he really does deserve a big night in return for all the good nights he has given us, I'm glad to see lord Bennett back for this one , it is very sad that this is the last time we will see both of these characters. Anyway good luck Tom and all the very best for your future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yep an excellent meeting tonight, everyone getting stuck in on a very slick track but providing some superb racing. A very fitting send off for Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ditto from me too! I just wish Buster would get the tannoy working better on the first bend, couldn't hear the interviews or Edwin But that didn't detract too much from a good night of racing particularly from "our" boys, good to see the two local Stars in the making Robert and Lewis ................ as one Kings Lynn legend retires we are witnessing two more in the making eh!! I wish Tomas and Romana all the very best in their life to come, hopefully they'll visit from time to time, they won't be forgotten in these parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fever Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BLOODY AWESOME MEETING (& yes I had to shout. It was really that good) SECONDED!!! If the rest of the season has racing like that we're in for a treat! Exciting racing to salute an exciting rider. So glad the rain kept away so everything went smoothly. All the very best for the future TT and thankyou for many enjoyable years!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we could start the season in such terrific fashion. It’s been along time since I’ve seen so many people going to watch speedway at the Norfolk Arena, takes me back to the Saddlebow Road days, and this was a testimonial at that. Usually these are low-key affairs with the riders going through the motions but not much else. Last night’s meeting was different. The riders wanted to put on a show and some of the races were epic. None more so then Mads trying to put one over Nicki, each trying their hardest to win and giving just enough respect to the other. Brilliant.!!! Most of the races were like that and it made it a memorable night. Because of the expected rain, the track was slick, but it didn’t distract from the enjoyment. Going back to the old style13 heat formula was another big plus. With interval attractions and a second half ‘Rider of the night’ also added to the occasion. It reminded us oldens, of the way it use to be and in my opinion far better then present day promotion. You feel at the end of the night you were entertained for the night and not just for a quick 15 races then home…. The night was concluded with an auction of memorabilia, Race jackets, Helmets, Bikes, etc. Loads of people saying farewell to a legend by buying the goodies... On the home front, I was impressed with the effort of all our riders, and feel quietly confident we’ll do well in the league. Not just qualifying for the play-offs, but a team, that the likes of Poole and Swindon wont relish the prospects. Roll-on Good Friday…….

Bagpuss Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Indeed there is, I'm hoping with it being an early season meeting we may see a stronger field than the line up for the rained off staging at the end of 2012. Would like to see all of our boys minus the NZ bound Puk get another run out before the serious stuff starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modd Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I would also like to add to comments on here that last nights meeting was absolutely superb. The folk turned out for Tom, the rain stayed away and it was just a brilliant evenings entertainment. All the programmed riders turned up so no scribbling on the programme. The organisation of the meeting was excellent and there was something for everyone young and old. It was good to see Terry Betts back on a bike again. I liked the special touch for the young ones too. Having a young mascot/s walk out with each rider onto the track for the parade. Nice touch and something the kids will always remember! Thanks very much to Tom for his years of entertainment - the crowd and Kings Lynn speedway did you proud last night. All the best to you and Romana in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather permitting I will be going to Wolves tomorrow for the Freddie testimonial, and probably go to Brandonapolis next week also. The Ashley Jones Memorial is not until the following week. When I referred to the Good Friday clash, it wasn't relating to my next meeting I'd be going to, merely looking forward to the next Stars match...
