Peter Karlsson Farewell Meeting - Pk The Final Word Sunday March 19th 5pm


Recommended Posts

Forgot how much I used to enjoy watching Mikeal Max racing, smooth as you like 😊 Was a pleasure to support PK in his Farewell meeting, he's always been a stylish, crafty, tough competitor in the UK and always a great listen on the mike. Wish him a happy retirement from speedway. Thanks PK!!

 

Wanted to say also that the mic man, Porky, was on good form too.

didn't see a lot of the racing but couldn't believe how smooth and fast Ronnie Correy looked , for a guy that retired over 10 years ago he looked totally at ease

Ronnie impressed me. I was a bit worried as the last time I'd seen him in races like this, for the first time, he looked to struggle a tad. His first race yesterday he was a little tentative but was very smooth in this final two. He slammed the door shut on Paul Hurry into turn 1 on lap two in his second race, dropping it on him in vintage style.

 

I hope Sam hasn't done any damage to his knee, it was always a massive ask to try and ride so soon after his knee operation. It's a shame as would have been good to seem him racing with Mikael.

 

In the main meet David Howe improved as the meeting went on and was pretty much at race pace, worth a shout for a Championship place I would say at the very least.

 

A good day and a decent crowd to give the Man who put the A into Abba a good send off.

Hurry was up Correy's exhaust pipe for a couple of bends in one of the heats, thought that was gonna end in tears

That was the race that amazed me when Ronnie dropped it over him into Turn 1, he wasn't having him come by!

Remember when Ronnie Correy rode 'thru' Nigel De'ath where there was no gap causing Nigel to crash thus picking up an injury. Nigel was just starting to make head way after a sometimes tough baptism in 1986 and the injury set him back.

By the way, who was the pillock who tweeted the commentator that he wanted his money back?

I wasn't the pillock, but it was a humorous tweet.

Good luck to you PK. He hasn't come out of retirement and wobbled around at the back. He's scored well at reserve and is now in the top 5. I know I'm an old fogey but I'm enjoying seeing an "old favourite" competing in a league where we're seeing Magic, Emil, Tai and half the GP circus competing. And he's holding his own. Good on yer Peter. Long may you continue (Wolverhampton next year?))

As far as I was aware he was just giving up the UK and still planned to ride Poland and Sweden when it suited???

So what if he has already had his testimonials???? It's not like he will be getting anymore when he does finally hang up the boots!!!

 

Plus it's not like he wouldn't be due one as a loyal servant to all 3 leagues.

 

Some people trying to make a mountain out of a molehill I see.

 

FWIW it's great to see PK back racing, he won't come back here I doubt very much.
