Al Stewart Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 After the disappointments of last year the 10th Ben Fund Bonanza is scheduled for Leicester on 17th March 2019 start time 2pm. Leicester thus becomes the first track to stage the Bonanza twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Really think there should be 2 this season, to make up for last year. They provide such a valuable service to those easily forgotten. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawks 1975 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Does anybody else out there find it a bit odd that no names have been announced yet for the Bonanza - we all know Ben will support his namesake, but who else?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fliss44 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Doesn't seem a lot of interest -- anybody out there attending? I am and hope to see some speedway friends. Will you be there Gemini? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Sorry no. I know it's all for a good cause but I've never been interested in individual racing and the way my knees are at the moment I'm saving my efforts for a league match to see if I can manage the trek from the shopping centre car park.

Can't you use the free 'Buggy' taxi from the car park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 The car park only holds about 230 cars and is always full unless you get there really early. I did use my scooter for the last few matches but unfortunately it has gone wrong and the new one doesn't fit in the car. I know I can use the buggy and I have done, as long as the driver is dog friendly. I am not giving up without trying anyway as this is my 70th Speedway season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScunnyDan Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Looks a quality line up, looking forward to this... Be nice if a Scorpion won it, but happy to support such a fantastic cause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodenski Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Can anyone please advise if there is anywhere to park close by as i'm sure the Speedway Car Park will fill up very quickly & I have been advised that the Shopping Centre 4 hour limit will not be extended on Sunday.

Gemini Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Can't think of anywhere close by or I'd have been parking there last season. 4 hours limit in the shopping centre one will be enough time though won't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no restrictions in the industrial area opposite the police station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm thinking about going, but with rain forecast on saturday and showers on sunday, I'm not sure now. The season starts far too early in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
