Oh, there won't be much damage to speedway's profile. Chiefly because it no longer has one. Up there with tiddlywinks.

He was a total waster in his early teens and had history, got a good chance to sort himself out.Unfortunately never took it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 pity they didnt have the power to add an additional sentence of putting him in a locked room with his hands tied and with fit healthy young relatives of the victims. Even unfit older relatives. From what I have been told from people who were around speedway in Manchester yes he had a bad start in life but he was given chance after chance and chose to go down this route. Hell mend him ETA they are looking for people to try and test COVID potential immunisations on. I'd say scum like this should have that added into their sentence too. They forfeit the right to be treated humanely the minute they prey in this manner on vulnerable people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moomin man 76 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hopefully the sentence he has received acts as some form of recompense, for the ordeals that his victims suffered. That Jason Varsity was a speedway rider should make not one iota of difference, in how people view him. He acted in an indefensible manner. People make plenty of mistakes in life, but equally have plenty of opportunities. Jason Garrity was given an opportunity in speedway, but failed to fully take it. Hopefully as his does his sentence, he will have time to reflect on his actions and leave prison a better person. In the meantime, I certainly will not miss his absence from the sport, which I hope he is not given the chance to return to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 I very much doubt that prison will change him Moomin when all the chances given to him by people in speedway - promoters and riders - were just abused. I agree with everything else you say. Plenty of kids from rough areas don’t get anywhere near the chances he was afforded yet make good. You just can’t help someone who is obviously evil to the core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny the spud Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) No one in speedway is really surprised that “pikey Jase” is in jail. The biggest surprise is that it took so long one less druggy to have to lookout for Edited October 21, 2020 by Jonny the spud 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*JJ Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 It really staggers me that someone should commit this sort of really despicable crime; he must have been totally out of his skull. Was he really on drugs? He has now totally trashed his own life. And he was showing some promise as a speedway rider; he could have gone a long way if he had really wanted. What a total sad waste.

Can't say i agree with you about him going a long way in speedway. His attitude left a lot to be desired. How many times did he 'breakdown' on way to tracks in the north? Often he would turn up with his machines and kevlars still caked in dirt from the previous meetings. He wanted it easy and was nt, in my opinion, willing to put in the work and dedication required to make a success of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
