Bryn Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Although I'm here in the office at Lakeside manning the phone etc, I've just heard the sound tht comes second only to my daughter's first words! That sound? You've got it, speedway engines roaring at the Vortex Lakeside Press and Practice session! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customhouseregular Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 As my only meeting in the past 30 years was Cardiff 2014, and I was sat with the old codgers about 1/2 mile from the track. I could not possibly comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customhouseregular Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 All I want to make me happy is a track 10 minutes walk from home and with free entry on showing my bus pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Must say I went to press and practice day ar Leicester and one of the riders was using Castrol R or something very much the same, what with the smell of Methanol and Castrol R it brought back some very fond memories.

New Science Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Neither sound nor smell are sadly. The lack of sound and smell has definitely taken something away from the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Who said I liked Red Barrel? . I was not over-fond of the 12" hot dogs either but Custom House was not noted for it's cuisine I remember in the 1960s when it was "the in thing" to drink Red Barrel. Then there was a sudden switch to Double Diamond (works wonders?). Edited March 24, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
