Longtrack is a very different beast to "regular" speedway. (Stan Burza (43) qualified for the longtrack GP!) Very true and expected Mulford to do little just Keleher and Goret exceeded expectations. Longtrack is far more brain and setup than regular speedway but delighted to see Waj through safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 If this meeting is to be restaged it wont be at Mildenhall. Statement from Mildenhall Speedway - After due consideration the four of us have decided against putting ourselves forward to run a restaging of the British U19 Final at Mildenhall. In such austere times as we currently find ourselves, especially in Speedway, we do not feel it is in the interest of the clubs future sustainability to take on a meeting that has already cost us financially. We feel we did a fantastic job with the U21 Semi Final and due to events outside our control were prevented from a similar success with the U19 Final. We understand this will disappoint some supporters but hope they will understand our decision that the clubs future success outweighs this one meeting. This now leaves us with a free date on Sunday 19th September, we are currently looking at the options to run a meeting that day and will advise supporters as soon as possible. Finally to remind everyone that rain off tickets from the British U19 Final on Sunday 22nd August can be used for any other Mildenhall home meeting this season. Should you not be able to return to Mildenhall this season and wish to claim a refund please email pakmft16@btinternet.com for details on how to claim your refund As always thank you for your wonderful and loyal support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dictated pay rates, prize monies, BSPL fees, 16 rider field etc. Running the mickey mouse cup could be done with a 12 rider field, own decided rates of pay and entrance fees. Wise decision by the Mildenhall promotion given how the season is heading and lack of fixtures any that incur a loss will be left in a dangerous position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pay rates involved as it’s a set prize/wage depending on where you finish in the field and the winner will be lucky to see a few hundred quid. No fee to the BSPL involved for this meeting. If you can pull 300 or more crowd you should be in profit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
