In a clay park with an adjacent lagoon, the refs big bus and a cracking racing track. The magic was ramped up when late on in the evening the mist used to descend to above the track level, and it just looked like a film set. Magic venue with fans to match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand My auntie used to live in Cornwall. I went one night, it was against Somerset and was brilliant - the kind of track you can't forget. Harris and Emiliano Sanchez were the Trelawny top two. Can only remember Jason Prynne and a German (I think) rider - somebody Wolf was it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only remember Jason Prynne and a German (I think) rider - somebody Wolf was it? Expand From memory I think the team was Sanchez, Harris, Wolf(who got sacked immediately after our meeting), Prynne, Simon Phillips, Zagar plus a Czech I think. They are getting beat most weeks and we turned up with a very strong side. We were winning 34-44 with heats 14 and 15 to come, and were then without Jesper Olsen due to engine and injury problems. They got an 8-1 in heat 14 and followed that up with a 5-1 in heat 15 to win by 47-46. The crowd went ballistic, and I stood on the track applauding them cos the meeting, and their graciousness in victory, was what sport is all about. Wonderful experience captured on a tape I have, but now no machine to run it on and relive the experience.
