Very strange competition this. What licenses are Ellis & Woffy on?

1.Ellis; 2. Doyle; 3 Woffy

Thanks for the result, Skidder.

Great for the Brits 1st & 3rd in the Oz back garden!!!

My bruv, from Swindon with Robins prog board, now living in Adelaide, was there. Said meeting was held up for nearly an hour because of bad crash. Ellis won final by wheel, and Woffy put on a performance. Old Swindon 1-2

Isn`t that weird. I`m a Swindon follower since 1976. Went to Gillman in 2008 on holiday & saw a few meetings. Ivan Mauger Meeting (won by Philip Sitera) was one. Also managed to get to Murray Bridge (Cars + sidecars no bikes unfortunately. Plus International WSS series on the Boxing day. They were good. Drivers came over from USA & New Zealand for the series.

He was over this year but with the Robins now defunct we went to Oxford instead.

It was an FIM meeting so no issues.

[iris123]

What is the point of this meeting ? Is it a qualifier for anything, with its FIM title ? Or just another meeting. Not a great line up, especially without the two British riders

The final- decent race !!!!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Wyx49n2Ec

Strange to see riders listed by state & not national in an FIM event & not a Kiwi on the card.

I see the name Schlien within the U16 support & have to ask if this is the son of Rory?

Jake Turner is a New Zealander, but has been based in Adelaide for the last 3 years or so. I think I saw him once at Wolverhampton.

Looking back I see that he is down as NZ/SA but the results fail to show the NZ so I figured he was South Australian.

It would have been better to ship in BWD and/or George Congreve.

I don't know which other nations could qualify as Oceania other than Aus & NZ. The SEC champion moves into the SGP series if this championship were to include the rest of the world then we might see USA Canada Argentina & South Africa represented with a GP place on the line.

F.I.M. North America does have their own Continental Speedway Final.
