Icicle Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Maybe it is importing some crazy Russian Ice Speedway interval dancers to entertain?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Each week 2 supporters do 4 laps, fastest time at end of season wins a season ticket for season after. Names drawn from a hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Each week 2 supporters do 4 laps, fastest time at end of season wins a season ticket for season after. Names drawn from a hat there will not be enough medical cover for this to take place ...but it will certainly fill in the gaps between the races ..

Paul Johnson Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I was a late starter going to Scunny but i was told around 2006/7 the kids did timed laps on a pushbike, maybe do a "top gear board"? for age groups and boys and girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I was a late starter going to Scunny but i was told around 2006/7 the kids did timed laps on a pushbike, maybe do a "top gear board"? for age groups and boys and girls We did that about 8 years ago. Fans were invited to race around the track with another rider and there finishing time was recorded. At the end of the season, the lad with the best race time got the bike. I believe he was an away fan from Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Why not get the local schools to design the suits for this season. Winning school gets free season tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I reckon the 'New Feature' on a Thursday night will be linked to the Witches' new Title Sponsor - any news on that yet? So: if it is Truck R Us, it will be truck racing; if it's Jack's Cafe it will be an all day breakfast eating competition; if it's Hintlesham Fisheries it will be an angling competition - or similar. Other than that, it might just be a 'spot the missing rider/s' competition due to all the doubling up/down or, if they can't get the new Team Manager off the golf course, maybe a different fan can take on the role at each home meeting, or with Sarj in the team the fans will be asked to make replacement tapes (sorry Sarj, backing you to have a great season under the Louis' influence). All joking aside, I hope it is a success and well done to the Club for even thinking about engaging the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case lets hope your new sponsor isn't Hooters or Oil & Pumps............ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZODIAK Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 @ipswichspeedway Title sponsor news coming early in the new year #excitingtimes Tweet from Chris Louis All gone a bit quiet on this front. Wonder what they're waiting for? Can't be any hitch as Louis labelled Sackers "partner sponsor" in a tweet last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZODIAK Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Rumours gaining momentum that sponsor to top riders like Chris Holder (TrucksRUs etc Ipswich-based Nicholls Group) joining @ipswichspeedway Tweet from Elvin King. TrucksRUs was the rumoured sponsor on here a while ago wasn't it? Edited January 20, 2016 by Hong Kong Phooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
