Roland Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 A good positive piece. Very ambitious to set his sights to out perform Siggy and Cookie. If he can get half way to that Ill be happy to be there to see it. Cant wait for it all to get started now! All very positive as you say, can't knock the boy for ambition. If he does indeed outperform those two legends, I suppose in "todays money" Darcy Ward will have someone to race with in a couple of years?

Willowman Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 And back to the team lol, this from Lovespeedway24 http://www.lovespeedway24.co.uk/teams_2_553/ipswich_witches_2_563/hold_onto_your_hats_gino_manzares_is_coming_to_foxhall_and_the_new_witches_american_star_is_looking_forward_to_entertaining_you_including_smiles_wheelies_and_fist_pumps_1_3308205 Our new boy, on joining the Witches. Can't knock him on enthusiasm, that's for sure. Looks like you have a real character there. Good luck to him and the Witches for 2014 (just a little less than for the Rebels though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obviously born in the USA - compared to the 'not' rider from the US Ricky Wells - 2 years at Sheffield - No wheelies, no fist pumps and certainly no smiles. Struggled in his first year to get to grips with the track, best rider we had last year. Unfortunately this fella has no idea how to interact with his supporters. Gino looks like he'll have some fun at Foxhall - win or lose, seems to be a really nice guy, the kind you need to keep everybody's head up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalSin Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) It seems we were right to be concerned about Cam's hand injury after a below par performance in the Aussie 21's.. http://www.ipswichwitches.co/ Edited February 12, 2014 by CardinalSin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 A little worrying about Cam particularly as early signs were positive. Not a lot of time left before the season starts to allow a full recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Workington supporters will win Ricky round A late signer wasnt he last season for Sheffield with not agreeing terms ? so maybe the place rather than the rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did struggle a little with the track in his first term, but when they made it ultra-slick on the inside he was ok. Like I stated he was our best rider last year (he was the only one that stayed fit throughout), but he really didn't respond to the fans even when he'd pulled off good passes etc and got the response from the terraces. He struggled to lift his left hand to acknowledge the applause. Hope he does well for you as he is quite a gifted rider and will no doubt prove his worth in some of the away meetings - as long as it's not at Sheffield!

markyb Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I read that Heeps coming back to the uk earlier than planned as he requires further surgery. Is that so he can benefit from the expertise of the doctors and surgeons in the uk OR cus be can sponge off the British tax payer and get a free medical treatment.

Why not stay in Aussie and come back once he healed. As for Brujas Espanalos ( message above ) the name says it all. Nothing wrong with the daily mail. I guess you abusing the UK rules too Happy days. Yeah, but he a second rate premier league rider - and paying in less than he is getting out.

Racin Jason 72 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'd be very surprised if he was using the nhs as he would not be having surgery that quickly !! I expect he is paying for it privately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I understand that stadium bosses Spedeworth International are planing a further upgrade of facilities at Foxhall Heath. It seems that besides their own major two-day annual event in mid-season (as well as their usual car race programmes) they also hope to eventually promote the prestige Brisca Formula One World Championship - this usually takes place in early September. Aside from that, I wonder if eventually Ipswich could be a place for major speedway championships on a regular basis each season? Is there any sound of that happening on the Foxhall Heath speedway jungle drums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
