RS50 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Once needed a race to be re-run because a spectator decided to walk across the track during a race, causing a rider to take avoiding action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second best fact about the team is that we had a meeting snowed off in mid-June. This at a southern venue which rarely sees snow in January (or ever). The local paper had a picture of it, all gone within 24 hours though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrub Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I'm reasonably confident that I've tripped and fell over something at my local speedway stadium and that no one has tripped over one of these at any other track in the country. To give some context it was back in the 80's when fans and riders packed the bar after meetings and living within walking distance it was always around midnight before tottering out of a very dark, unlit stadium and car park. Any guesses? If not, answer tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
