Hello all. Thought I'd provide a quick update. First of all a massive THANK YOU to everyone who took the Time to message and call. I truly felt the love of the Speedway Family and am blessed to be part of it. I have just come out surgery to close two wounds on my head. All went well. I do have small breaks to my C2 and C3 vertebra and will be in a neck bracelet for about 12 weeks but again everything will be fine. Great news... And for no doubt, Craig... Maybe those who requested refunds can now get them sent to stop them worrying.....? Bless them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanAndersen Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Really great to hear he’s on the mend. Relief all round and hopefully Cookie can relax a little more as I bet he’s been on edge to say the least. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Whilst the injuries are not as severe as they could have been he must have got a real scare at the time. Great news he is on the mend, best wishes to him. Edited August 5, 2023 by Gazc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Fabulous news he's on the mend, albeit 3+ months. The main thing is he will fully recover. Couldn’t really have hoped for better news. Edited August 5, 2023 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Great news, so pleased for him and his family , very worrying time for them but although a long time for him to heal completely, he will make a full recovery which is fantastic news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 This guy was just operating a camera and this happened. What a relief. All the best Pete. A lot of the posts on this forum platform discuss crap (I’m as guilty as anybody) about subjects the outside world neither know or care about. But when it comes to something that is more important than the sport (health), it is great to read poster’s concerns for Pete’s welfare. Should add Cookie into that too. Sounds like Pete needs to be patient and we will all no doubt continue to post garbage relating to the minority sport we love. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Hook on BSN pointed out that as Roynon was passing Wood, he made contact with Wood's front wheel with his dirt deflector, causing Wood to lose control of his bike. As previously mentioned on here, this was confirmed in a replay of the incident. Edited August 6, 2023 by cyclone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously mentioned on here, this was confirmed in a replay of the incident. Any rider with the slightest bit of ability would not have fallen, and certainly not jumped off the back launching his bike at Adam Roynon. It was the slightest of touches and Roynon was completely passed. Wood is a danger to himself and other riders at this level. Shouldn’t be riding Championship speedway. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Fridays free before cut off date (unless we both don't do the pairs and do it then?!) Or double header? Or different race night? The main thing being that the photographer/cameraman is okay. So if that means we don't get the meeting in before the cut off so be it. It has happened before, especially to KL I have found over the years.

Would have to agree regarding Wood falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
