Hello there. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the winning times of all the heats as I never wrote them down as I was filming the event. And their not anywhere when I looked for them online.

They will be in this weeks speedway star.

While I agree the SRBF should concentrate on assisting riders injured while racing in the British leagues, we should not single Tai out for not racing in recent Bonanzas.       He did ride in the earlier events while racing in our leagues, and can hold his head up a lot higher than those who haven't -- even if they have requested help from the Fund when sidelined.

I agree as BRITISH world champion it would be great to see him there, even if it was just as making an appearance and not ride.

Truth is he has much more important things to do, ditto Lambert, ditto Cook and all of the top boys who have swerved it for years.

One has to also question, was he even asked?:unsure:

As a British rider are you suggesting he shouldn’t be able to access it despite spending several seasons here in the leagues?

The top boys shouldnt have to be asked they should be chumping at the bit to do it, perhaps if a rider hasnt rode in britian for a number of years they perhaps should not expect too much help !

I agree they should be, but then I’d like the top boys all riding here too in our top league. Neither will be happening anytime soon!

Would it not be possible to hold two of these meetings a year? Maybe one down south and one up north! You could split the riders so both fields were pretty equal and twice as much money would be raised for such a worthwhile cause.

To ride in the BEN meeting is not an insurance premium payment, it's a mechanism where riders can participate to help boost the funds of the SRBF. The better the rider the more fans they should attract therefore more revenue on the day. I think we all would like to help people less fortunate than ourselves. The fund is there to help all riders current & former. It's time to move on & look forward to a bigger & better BEN Bonanza in 2020............

Tickets were numbered and mine was 840-odd, so given that plenty came in behind me surely a four-figure attendance.

Nearer 2K.      Good turnout of fans for a good cause.  Racing got pretty good towards the end, too.

Our tickets were 892 and 893 and we came in just before the racing started, however the tickets in the other booth might have been numbered 1000 onwards.

It's my understanding that the Ben Fund meeting organisers declined the invitation to have the meeting filmed.

thanks ballinger , that would explain why there's no sign of it. don't understand the reason as every other one has been filmed .
