Oz Championships 2013-14


Recommended Posts

Can we give a BIG thanks to crazysue. The updates are a great source of information for all the fans in Australia.


Just back from Gillman. It is a long way. Round 3 was great. I had not seen Gillman before, but it is without doubt, Australia's best speedway venue. It is a credit to the club and supporters. What is left to say about Chris Holder? Courageous, fast, furious, and all the other superlatives. Jason Doyle won more races than anybody. He deserved better than his crash in the A final. His second placing in the Championship shows what a great talent he is. Josh Grajczonek secured third place and won a lot of admirers. He has a big future and a big bag of talent to go with it. Rohan Tungate won the third round. A flat tyre at Kurri, no doubt cost him a podium finish. He rode well at all the venues. It was good to see Mason Campton get a third finish at Gillman. No one tried harder thoughout the series and he was always good to watch. I was not surprised that Troy Batchelor did not start at Gillman. It was a big smash at Undera. We watching about 20 yards away, and it was a sickening crash. The quality of riders is a pleasing sign for this year's World Cup. If these blokes can stay fit and healthy, plus the addition of a certain D.Ward, makes for a team, that will do well.

Thanks Crazy Sue and your elfs who did a great job. I also must mention the boys from www.allsportradio.com.au who were simply fantastic at Kurri. They gave the commentary and I could paint the picture in my mind. Loved every minute of it.

Will M.A. bring them on board next year?

Do you think that the championship will bring Mildura back to the fold in 2015?

A 4 track title or more?

Thanks guys, I couldn't have done it without Clint, Dave and Lunchy and my thanks go to them in return.

 

I've no idea why but I get a real thrill from doing the series, I look forward to it every year!

Out curiosity...

 

How many tracks in OZ and how many of them are equipped with an APD aka air fence? Was it compulsory for all the title round tracks to have a APD?

 

EDIT: Trying to spell curioustiinty...

The tracks at Gillman and Mildura have properly-approved airfences, while Kurri-Kurri has a barrier which came from a road-racing circuit, it is an airfence but may not be FIM-approved.

 

Undera has no soft barrier at all.
